Stan Lee is happy with Disney's Marvel deal

Stan Lee, a former Marvel exec. and creator of so many awesome Marvel characters, is quite excited about Walt Disney's acquisition of Marvel Entertainment, which dominated the world of film news yesterday.

In a statement, Lee expressed his support:

"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 possible 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!”

The man has spoken, and his words mean a lot.
