Marvel Studios has signed an interim deal with the striking Writers Guild of America, the union said.

The move follows recent separate guild pacts with other independent production companies such as Lionsgate, United Artists, the Weinstein Co. and David Letterman’s Worldwide Pants.

Marvel Studios is launching its own film brand with the upcoming ‘Iron Man’ (opening May 2 and distributed by Paramount Pictures) and ‘The Incredible Hulk,’ which opens June 13.
