Walt Disney Studios has gotten into an agreement with the creator of comic-book superheroes, Stan Lee. The deal will enable Walt Disney to make content like direct-to-DVD productions, comic books as well as video games. The deal has been inked with Lee’s POW! Entertainment
Stan Lee, Chairman, POW! Entertainment says, “It’s like the realization of a dream. Ever since I was a young boy, Disney represented the best and most exciting film fare to me. And now, many decades later, with movies such as their unbelievable Pirates of the Caribbean spectaculars, Disney is still at the forefront of family entertainment, excelling in live action, animation, TV, theme parks, whatever it takes to bring fun and fantasy to audiences everywhere. I look forward with indescribable enthusiasm to being a part of that world and contributing whatever I can to keep the legend alive and growing.”
Dick Cook, Chairman, The Walt Disney Studios said, “As the father of such renowned comic book heroes as Spider-Man, The Hulk, X-Men among others, Stan is considered one of the most creative and ingenious forces in the industry today. His innate talent of tapping into the human qualities of his super hero characters has certainly struck a chord with generations of audiences and readers around the world,” stated Cook in making the announcement. We are privileged to be working with someone as formidable as Stan and his production company and welcome them to the Disney family.”
Earlier, Stan Lee was associated with Marvel Entertainment. However, he is no longer working with them. Anyway, this partnership would be a good one as Stan Lee has created many amazing comic book characters while Walt Disney is known for its funny cartoons. So you can expect astounding video games from Walt Disney.
