Announced today after several secret talks, the Walt Disney Company is purchasing Marvel for $4 billion! This includes the rights to over 5,000 Marvel characters, merchandise, tv, film, and anything Marvel related. Paramount will finish off its deal with Marvel up to Iron Man 3 (along with the Avengers series), but after that, Disney will have full control. This is going to be a fantastic buy out for Marvel since Disney allows their off-site companies some freedom. Just look at Pixar. Marvel also wants to join Disney because of Pixar, which could be a really cool creation of a film. Hopefully, Disney won't Disney-fy Marvel and make it childish, taking away from the darker look of some of the films.
Another note within the buyout, Universal Studios has an Island dedicated to Marvel superheroes. At the moment, Universal is allowed to maintain the characters that they have used so far, but until a deal is closed no one knows if Marvel will close off all connections with that theme park. Which then turns to Disney's parks and resorts who can monopolize and make an incredible Marvel themed park. I think this is a great buy by Disney since Marvel has a great length of creations, and Disney has knowledge in pretty much every media venue there is.
