Disney's Marvel has agreed to end its court battles with four artists who attempted to reclaim copyright interests in superheroes they co-created, including Iron Man, Ant-Man and Captain Marvel.

This is according to federal court filings published on Friday.

The filings said Marvel would drop its lawsuits against Larry Lieber and the estates of Don Heck, Gene Colan and Don Rico with prejudice, which means they cannot be refiled.

A Disney spokesperson and an attorney for the artists said they had reached an "amicable resolution."
