Re: [scifinoir2] Disney to buy Marvel Entertainment for $4 billion
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 that in 1989, Marvel was bankrupt and had to get saved by ToyBiz?
