The Mouse's Marvel Deal Is Done!
Filed under: Disney > Business Blitz
Oh boy! Mickey must be thrilled!
As we previously mentioned, Disney planned on purchasing Marvel Entertainment for the whopping price of $4.24 billion and now it's a done deal.
Marvel shareholders approved the sale on Thursday which means Disney now owns the rights to Spider-Man, Iron Man and its 5,000 other comic book creations.
Isaac "Ike" Perlmutter, Marvel chief executive, will continue to oversee the business, but report to Walt Disney Co. CEO Robert Iger.
"The creative and business potential of this combination is substantial," says Iger regarding the acquisition.
No shiz! They'll be raking it in Mouse-style!
Tom Arnold Lends A Helping Hand!

I wonder what that means for Universal's Islands of Adventure. The Marvel Island rides, I mean.
I 'memba when Mickey was a nobody.

Awwww HELL NO…
When I first saw the name Robert Iger, I thought for a moment "that kid from the sopranos certainly has done well for himself".
i wonder if mickey mouse was a real "person" i think he would be a prick arrogant asshole lol
That's half of Universal's Islands of Adventure rides gone. Good job they've got Harry Potter opening this year….
knowing Disney,they will play it safe and make perfectly good movies into crappy happy ones for little kiddies.. D: I cant believe they were stupid to sell all of those characters to Disney.. BAD..IDEA.
