Between this and the Marvel block of programming they have on Disney XD, they are beginning to integrate Marvel more into the Disney brand. <a href="http://www.wired.com/geekdad/2012/07/disney-marvel-phineas-ferb-crossover/" target="_blank">http://www.wired.com/geekdad/2...ossover/</a>

More than any other show on TV, P&F has a very distinct unverse, with a lot of consistency from one episode to the next. And nowhere in this universe (so far, at least) has there been any other recognized brand. They even did an episode that featured a Comic Con-like convention, and it specifically avoided any existing brands. I don't really have a problem incorporating Marvel into a series where it makes sense (much like the recent Modern Family that was set at DL), but P&F just doesn't make sense to me. It will be really tough for them to do it with any animated series, but they'll likely have a lot more flexibility in live action. I could see them easily working it into several of the live-action series (Good Luck Charlie, Jessie, and ANT Farm all have potential), but this just seems like they're really trying to force it into a place where it doesn't belong.
