Marvel Enterprises has made an announcment on a confrence call today. Here's a clip:

Avi Arad said that he wished to clear up some misinformation about Marvels relationship with Artisan, stating that the studio (which was just acquired by Lions Gate) does not have 15 Marvel properties. The only property Artisan has any stake in currently is Punisher. Arad said that if things go well between Artisan and Lions Gate, Marvel may expand and/or continue their relationship with the studio. Arad stressed that, despite reports, Artisan does not have the rights to Iron Fist and Black Panther.
