We told you all about The Walt Disney Company’s $4 Billion acquisition of Marvel Entertainment but what does Stan “The Man” Lee think about the deal?
Lee Said in a statement:
I couldn’t be happier with this agreement. It’s a great move for Disney, for Marvel and for my company Pow! Entertainment since Pow! has a first-look deal with Disney. From every point of view, the merger of Disney and Marvel is a match made in heaven.
Just imagine. With this deal Marvel gives Disney a library of literally hundreds of unique and colorful characters that have the potential to make great, high-concept movies and long-lasting franchises-and nobody knows how to play in that ball park better than Disney.
This is a great day for the two companies and for the entertainment community as a whole. To sum it up as simply as possible, when you combine the best with the best, everyone wins!

There have been opinions both for and against this Disney/Marvel deal running rampant all over the internet. While I’m a bit on the fence until I see a Marvel property produced under the Disney umbrella to decide one way or the other, I want to know what you think. So, leave your opinions down in the comments section!
