History

Historical Context

Disney announced on August 31 2009 it would buy Marvel Entertainment for $4 billion, completing the deal on December 31 2009 and making Marvel a Disney subsidiary. The merger ended Marvel’s NYSE listing and later, in March 2023, folded Marvel’s remaining units into Disney’s other divisions. Today Marvel Studios leverages that integration to develop a new X-Men film and expand the Avengers franchise.
