During a media conference in Idaho, Disney CEO Robert Iger told reporters that he isn't worried about the increase in Warner Bros/DC Entertainment or other comic book- and superhero-based movies infringing on Marvel's market dominance.

"We're Marvel," Iger told journalists at the Allen & Co. media conference (via Variety). "We've done a great job of building the Marvel brand, which we think when it's on a movie really makes a difference. We're seeing signs of that."

He also expressed confidence in upcoming Marvel films such as "Ant-Man" and "Doctor Strange."

"We like the Marvel slate that we have coming up," said Iger. "We think they're unique in many ways and have no concerns [about competition] whatsoever."
