 Disney to Buy Marvel Entertainment for $4 Billion

 The Walt Disney Company said on Monday that it has agreed to buy Marvel
 Entertainment, bringing together the house of Mickey Mouse with the
 publisher of Spider-Man, for $4 billion in cash and stock.

 Under the terms of the deal, Disney will pay $30 a share in cash and .745
 Disney shares for every Marvel share, with no less than 40 percent of the
 deal being made in stock. Disney valued the deal at $50 a share as of the
 companies' share prices on Friday.

 Isaac Perlmutter, Marvel's chief executive, will continue to oversee his
 company's properties, including more than 5,000 characters that also include
 Iron Man and the X-Men.

 Marvel has had a string of successful movies based on its characters, which
 analysts have praised in part for the company's taking an active role in
 their production.

 This transaction combines Marvel's strong global brand and world-renowned
 library of characters including Iron Man, Spider-Man, X-Men, Captain
 America, Fantastic Four and Thor with Disney's creative skills, unparalleled
 global portfolio of entertainment properties, and a business structure that
 maximizes the value of creative properties across multiple platforms and
 territories, Robert A. Iger, Disney's chief executive, said in a statement.

 Disney is the perfect home for Marvel's fantastic library of characters
 given its proven ability to expand content creation and licensing
 businesses, Mr. Perlmutter said.

Right. I read this.

It says that the deals that are in place are gonna stay in place.  
There's no way Sony's giving up Spider-Man. They just  did a deal for  
#4. Paramount's gonna fight  harder to keep  Iron Man now because it   
will  mean that they  will have lost  Transformers AND Iron Man to  
the same studio.


When the deals EXPIRE, oh it's on. Disney's getting it ALL.

By the way, this is a great story,  because anybody  else remember

 Disney to Buy Marvel Entertainment for $4 Billion
 
 The Walt Disney Company said on Monday that it has agreed to buy Marvel 
Entertainment, bringing together the house of Mickey Mouse with the publisher 
of Spider-Man, for $4 billion in cash and stock.
 
 Under the terms of the deal, Disney will pay $30 a share in cash and .745 
Disney shares for every Marvel share, with no less than 40 percent of the deal 
being made in stock. Disney valued the deal at $50 a share as of the companies' 
share prices on Friday.
 
 Isaac Perlmutter, Marvel's chief executive, will continue to oversee his 
company's properties, including more than 5,000 characters that also include

 Marvel has had a string of successful movies based on its characters, which 
analysts have praised in part for the company's taking an active role in their 
production.
 
 This transaction combines Marvel's strong global brand and world-renowned 
library of characters including Iron Man, Spider-Man, X-Men, Captain America, 
Fantastic Four and Thor with Disney's creative skills, unparalleled global 
portfolio of entertainment properties, and a business structure that maximizes 
the value of creative properties across multiple platforms and territories,  
Robert A. Iger, Disney's chief executive, said in a statement.
 
 Disney is the perfect home for Marvel's fantastic library of characters given 
its proven ability to expand content creation and licensing businesses, Mr. 
Perlmutter said.

So, the worst thing we have to worry about is Iron Man: The Ride and a 
Latervia-based theme park.

  OK I think this is a bad idea. I wonder will Marvel
