Under the deal, Disney will acquire ownership of 5,000 Marvel characters. Many of them, including favorites such as the Fantastic Four and the X-Men, were co-created by the comic book legend Stan Lee.

Well, that sucks. Hopefully they only act as a parent company and stay out the way. Yeah right.

So, now that we're stuck with it.....

Pixar Marvel movies? (Obviously the big names are tied up with other companies)

Kingdom Hearts with Square-Enix, Disney, and Marvel? I'd play that.

Six Flags has the DC rides, so I'd like to see Disneyland/world get some Marvel ones.
