Say wha…? Disney buys Marvel?

It’s true! Here’s the report from Variety…
LOS ANGELES — The Walt Disney Co. says it is acquiring Marvel Entertainment Inc. for $4 billion in cash and stock, bringing characters like IRON MAN and SPIDER-MAN into the Disney family. Under the deal, Disney will acquire ownership of 5,000 Marvel characters.
Looks like we might see those CAPTAIN AMERICA, THOR and AVENGERS movies a lot sooner than we expected. The Marvel comics super heroes are powerful, but they’re nothing compared to the might of The Mouse.

Yep, I’m thinking that “X-Men on Ice” is a terrifying possibility now. And, don’t forget that Miley Cyrus cameo in Iron Man 3 that is bound to happen. So, what happens to the Spiderman ride at Universal now that its owned by the House of Mouse? Stan Lee must be enjoing that stack of thousand dollar bills. Four billion dollars buys off a lot of dignity, I guess…
