The Walt Disney company has bought Marvel Entertainment for $4 billion. Now, Marvel, like DC comics whose parent company is Warner Bros, is owned by a major Hollywood studio. That being said, it'll be a while before Disney can do anything with the major characters. Marvel continues to have movie deals with studios like Sony, Fox, and Paramount. Still, they could produce television shows featuring the characters. That seems to be the plan. In recent years, Disney, especially through its cable channel, has had success with females thanks to Hannah Montana. Now, they want to appeal to males as well. With the ownership of Pixar and the recent distribution rights for DreamWorks studios, Disney may possibly become the biggest studio in Hollywood.

The Walt Disney Co. has now brought characters like Iron Man an d Spider Man to their family. The rumor was known now. Disney Buys Marvel headlines are now known to be the truth, as they have put up $4 Billion to acquire Marvel Comics and other divisions like Marvel Entertainment, the TV and cinema wing, which has been wildly successful. Disney films and Marvel films sell incredibly well – so the business move makes sense, and it's doubtful that Spiderman will battle a singing rabbit. In the last few years, entertainment revenues have slipped, especially in the face of recession. So when hard money loans are put up by Disney as Disney buys Marvel – rest easy, Marvel's integrity won't suffer.
