hmmmm the word exclusive seems a bit disconcerting. What does that mean for Bellwether Pictures? Does he have to put all those projects on hold for 3 years? :-(
That's a good question, but I'd bet there's some leeway. Like, perhaps he retains the right to produce outside of Marvel (as he wasn't going to direct In Your Eyes, the next Bellwether film, anyway), and possibly allowing already written material to go into production (allowing In Your Eyes, and maybe Dr. Horrible 2 to happen).
Just guessing - but given the way he'd been talking these up, Im betting he left himself some wiggle room.
ETA - Nevermind, In Your Eyes wrapped shooting months ago, so it's exempt anyway.
Note to anyone - Please pity the poor, poor wittle Rappyboy. He's feeling put upon lately, what with all those facts disagreeing with what he believes.

Now take out AVENGERS and replace with SERENITY and you'll really have something!

And "television and film" (infamously) does not include online content, so technically he's fine doing Dr. Horrible 2 as another webseries.

Good catch.
Im hoping for a scene in Avengers 2 where Captain Hammer tries to join up, and horrible things happen.
