Comic book lovers and cartoon lovers unite!
Legendary animation and entertainment powerhouse Walt Disney is set to buy the worlds most famous comic book house, Marvel Comics, for a reported $4 billion dollars!!!!!!
This is big!
The deal would add characters like Iron Man, Spider-man, The incredible Hulk and all the other very successful Marvel characters to the Disney franchise! The purchase is odd at this time of economical struggle, but the deal has already been approved by both companies board of directors and will be out through in the near future.
We don’t really want to get into the money aspect, but the deal is looking great for any Marvel shareholders (after the announcement, prices for Marvel stock went up) and Disney will be able to profit from already enormous film and television franchises.
Marvel Comics has over 5,000 characters, and their following is enormous around the world. This will also give Disney a lot more exposure to the young male demographic which they have lost touch with in recent years. Disney has had super success with animated features and real life shows and films, including Hannah Montana and the High School Musical franchises. Disney seems to be timeless and they have now added a more adult, adventurous side with Marvel.
We hope Disney doesn’t ruin our favorite Marvel franchises!
