In a deal that is reportedly one of the largest acquisitions in Disney's history, The Walt Disney Company is acquiring Marvel Entertainment in a deal valued at around $4 billion.
Looks like Spider-Man, Captain America and the X-Men may have some new dating opportunities with Snow White, Ariel, and Sleeping Beauty.
From The Wall Street Journal:
The move fits with Disney's stated strategy of driving revenue from popular content over time across multiple platforms. It also gives the company a boost with young male audiences, where Marvel's characters like Iron Man, Spider-Man, X-Men, Captain America, Fantastic Four and Thor are particularly popular. Disney has shown more strength with females from its properties like Hannah Montana.
