Big news was announced in the cartoon industry this week, now that Disney has acquired Marvel for 4 billion dollars.
Mickey Mouse will have to make room for Spider-Man, Iron Man and all the other super heroes. In fact, Disney added 5 000 new characters to its royal kingdom.
The head honcho of Marvel, Ike Perlmutter, will continue overseeing operations in the Marvel division. At the moment, it is unknown whether this move would impact upcoming Marvel film projects.
The transaction must be approved by Marvel shareholders, and must also conform to U.S. antitrust laws.
