The Walt Disney Company bought Marvel Entertainment in a stock and cash business deal worth $4 billion.  What a change this will be for the Mouse House company and means Disney now owns more than 5,000 Marvel characters, including Thor, Fantastic-Four, Iron Man, Spider-Man, X-Men and Captain America. 

The business transaction needs to be sanctioned by the antitrust review and approved by Marvel shareholders, but the deal is as good as gold.

Does that mean in the future we’ll be visiting Disneyland and riding on an  Iron Man/Spider-Man cosmic amusement ride?
