Disney to buy Marvel in $4bn deal

Entertainment giant Walt Disney is to buy Marvel Entertainment in a shares and cash deal valued at $4bn (£2.5bn).

The deal means Disney will take over ownership of 5,000 Marvel characters, such as Spider-Man and the X-Men.

Marvel shareholders will get $30 per share in cash plus 0.745 Disney shares for every Marvel share owned.

The boards of Disney and Marvel have both approved the deal, which now needs the backing of Marvel shareholders and competition authorities.

Marvel shares were ahead $10.17, or 26%, to $48.82 shortly after the market opened. Disney shares fell 47 cents, or 1.8%, to $26.37.
Wonder if Universal saw this coming? Remember the Spiderman ride and attractions at Islands of Adventure.

Well, that sounds interesting....wonder if they DO get the rights, what will they do with them? Maybe a Virtual Super Hero Kingdom?

Great... Just great. With Disney buying Marvel, Marvel will flourish. They won't make sales anymore. Marvel just lost thousands, even millions of fans around the globe because of Disney buying them. I'm a true hater of Disney now, soon they'll be buying all of our major companies and turning them to magical places. HAS THIS WORLD GONE BONKERS WITH THIS?!? AND YES, DISNEY IS NOW TRYING TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!!

It sort of makes sense because most of the shows they have on Disney XD are Spider-man, X-men, Fantastic 4, etc.

That's gonna be weird...Spiderman just doesn't belong with Disney. I really hope Disney doesn't change Spiderman's image too much. Then again, his image was already tinkered with in Spiderman 3...

I just hope I don't see Spidey crawling up the castle instead of Stitch, or spinning a web to Tomorrowland and gliding down it before the fireworks.

This will be interesting... What will Disney do with the 5,000 comic characters?

XD funny! it would look weird if there was a Spider-Man 4 and the intro was the Disney Castle intro thing XD

and yes the rides in Universal and Island of Adventure are part of the rights unless Disney sells the rides back to them

EDIT: 500th POST!!!

Actually, Universal can keep the rides, they just have to pay a fee to Disney.
