LOS ANGELES — In a deal that redraws Hollywood’s architecture, the Walt Disney Company said on Monday that it
would acquire Spider-Man and his Marvel Entertainment cohort for $4 billion.
Disney will pay about 60 percent cash and 40 percent stock to acquire Marvel, the comic book giant whose stable of 5,000
characters includes some of the world’s best-known superheroes: Iron Man, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four,
Captain America and Thor.
