Disney to Buy Marvel for $4 Billion
Deal Gives Disney Ownership of Iconic Comic Book Characters, Including Spider-Man and Iron Man

Aug. 31, 2009—
Mickey Mouse is about to make some 5,000 new friends, many of them clad in capes.
The Walt Disney Company announced today that it will buy comic book giant Marvel in a cash and stock deal valued at $4 billion.
The deal will give Disney ownership of more than 5,000 Marvel comic book characters, including Spider-Man, Iron Man, X-Men, Captain America and the Fantastic Four. Disney is the parent company of ABC News.
"I'm incredibly excited by the acquisition," Disney President and Chief Executive Officer Robert Iger said in conference call with analysts this morning. "It presents Disney a unique opportunity to strengthen its strategic position as a leading global provider of high-quality branded content. It also represents a meaningful growth opportunity across Disney's many complementary businesses and we believe Marvel can help us build significant long-term shareholder value."
Wall Street, however, was less excited about the deal. Disney stock was down nearly 3 percent to about $26 by the late morning.
Disney hopes to complete the purchase by the end of the year.The boards of both companies have approved the deal, but it still requires clearance from the government under antitrust law and the approval from Marvel shareholders. Under the Disney purchase, Marvel shareholders would receive $30 per share in cash and approximately 0.745 Disney shares for each Marvel share they own.
Both Disney executives and analysts have drawn comparisons between the Marvel deal and Disney's $7.4 billion purchase of Pixar Animation Studios in 2006. Iger said cooperation between Marvel and Pixar executives could result in "some exciting product," but he stopped short of saying they would create co-branded Marvel and Pixar products.
Disney to Promote Marvel Characters
Disney said it will use its various platforms to promote Marvel characters, including its boys-themed channel Disney XD, which already runs Marvel programming, and its amusement parks.
Marvel has shown "tremendous skill at increasing the commercial appeal of characters like Iron Man that traditionally weren't well known outside Marvel's core fan community, and we believe there's significant opportunity to further mine Marvel's rich intellectual property," Iger said.
Marvel Chief Executive Officer Ike Perlmutter will oversee Marvel business at Disney.
"We believe in the creative team at Marvel and don't see any reason to upset that apple cart," Disney Chief Financial Officer Tom Staggs said.
Perlmutter called Disney "the perfect home" for Marvel's characters in a statement released this morning.
"This is an unparalleled opportunity for Marvel to build upon its vibrant brand and character properties by accessing Disney's tremendous global organization and infrastructure around the world," he said.
Michael Jackson hoax was 'experiment,' broadcaster says

Story Highlights
- Video purportedly showed Michael Jackson hopping out of a coroner's van
- RTL spokesperson: Video made to show how easy it is to spread rumors online
- 880,000 people clicked on the most popular version of the video on YouTube
- RTL: Video intended to tell people not to take information at face value
BERLIN, Germany (CNN) -- A hoax video purporting to show Michael Jackson hopping out of a coroner's van alive was produced by a German television station as an experiment, the broadcaster told CNN Monday.
It was made to show how easy it is to spread rumors online, said Heike Schultz, a spokeswoman for RTL, the leading private broadcaster in Germany.
"We sent out a press release before we did the video to alert everyone that it was fake, but once posted it spread really fast," she said.
More than 880,000 people have clicked on the most popular version of the video on YouTube, posted by a user using the name "michaeljacksonhoax" under the title "Michael Jackson alive?! Seen coming out of coroner's van!" Nearly 3,600 people have commented on the video.
"All the moves, his posture, the stepping out of the van, looks like MJ. He steps out very cautious, like a moonwalk. Also the slowly walking is just like Michael did," one user wrote.
"I really hope he's still alive....I could never forgive him for scaring me like that, but I could never hate him... :)," another said. Click here to watch the bogus clip
Not everyone was fooled.
"I would forgive Michael for anything because he is so super sexy but seriously guys he has passed," one user wrote. "MJ has passed so leave him alone this movie is fake. R.I.P. Michael I love and miss u."
A second version of the video, posted and annotated by "MUZIKfactory2" to show inconsistencies, has been seen more than 329,000 times. Both versions were posted on August 25.
RTL produced the video for its daily magazine "Explosive" to tell people not to take information at face value, the station's representative said.
"This was so obviously fake, in the case of Michael Jackson, it just was not possible," Schultz said.
According to Schultz, some viewers have been happy that the magazine showed them how easy it was to fake information online. Others who were Michael Jackson fans have told RTL that this was the wrong topic to do this kind of experiment on.
"It was not a bad thing, since it was so obviously a fake. But it is now in our poison wardrobe and it won't be revived again," Schultz said.
RTL said it removed the video from the Internet, but it can still be seen on YouTube.
News of Jackson's death on June 25 sparked something of a feeding frenzy on the Web, as many news Web sites struggled to cope with the sheer volume of traffic.
With that came rumors that dragged in other celebrities completely unconnected to the "King of Pop's" death.
One Wikipedia prankster wrote that Jackson had been "savagely murdered" by his brother Tito, who had strangled him "with a microphone cord." Soon rumors spread online that movie star Jeff Goldblum had fallen from the Kauri Cliffs in New Zealand while filming his latest movie.
On several search engines, "Jeff Goldblum" soon became the only non-Jackson-related term to crop up in the top 10. The rumors forced Goldblum's publicist to issue a statement to media outlets, saying: "Reports that Jeff Goldblum has passed away are completely untrue. He is fine and in Los Angeles."
At the same time, Harrison Ford was also rumored to have fallen from a yacht off the south of France.
