The Walt Disney Co. has acquired comic-book mega-player Marvel Entertainment in a $4 billion cash-and-stock deal. The sale has to, however, undergo an antitrust review and gain approval from Marvel shareholders.

Disney’s president and CEO, Robert A. Iger, commented:

“This transaction combines Marvel’s strong global brand and world-renowned library of characters including Iron Man, Spider-Man, X-Men, Captain America, Fantastic Four and Thor with Disney’s creative skills, unparalleled global portfolio of entertainment properties, and a business structure that maximizes the value of creative properties across multiple platforms and territories.”
