Wow - makes me wonder if we’ll ever have a Pixar-based movie with X-Men, Hulk, etc…
Hopefully the mouse doesn’t fuck up the Iron Man sequel.
note to self… invent imaginary characters, make stories, make billions
Wasn’t Disney hurting financially not too long ago? Now they have $4 bil “cash” to drop? Maybe i’m thinking of another big name in entertainment that was hurting…
I can’t believe Marvel is selling out. There’s gonna be a lot of pissed off fans.
Holy shit. That’s a hell of a transaction.
