Disney loves men in spandex

Most of you have heard that Disney has started the purchase of Marvel for $4 billion bucks. It is good to see that the Happiest Place on Earth hasn’t been hurt too much from the gloom of the economy.

This is a pretty big deal. Obviously Disney is hoping to expand on the success of Marvels’ Spider-Man, Iron Man and X-men juggernaut product lines. Along with these big hitters, Disney gains access to 5,000+ Marvel characters. It will be interesting to see what they do with them in order to regain their investment. Perhaps Ant Man or Grasshopper will be the next summer blockbuster movie? Or will Asbestos Lady get her own clothing line along side Hannah Montana?

It will be interesting to see how these two big brands work together. Stock tip: Invest in spandex and lycra.
