I'm not sure what to think of it. It could be good or bad, depending on how much influence Disney decides to exert on Marvel. Marvel has been very successful in the last few years, thanks to their movie successes.
On the one hand, Disney will be able to provide a lot more funding for Marvel movies. Marvel has started producing most of those in-house. If Disney doesn't mess with that, it could mean great things. On the other hand, Marvel's big rival, DC, was bought by Disney's big rival, Warner Bros., years ago. That pretty much ruined DC in the movie business. They've had big hits like Superman and Batman, but that's all. Marvel's had movie success with a lot more characters on their own. I hope this movie doesn't have a negative impact on Marvel's movies like it did on DC's.
