The Walt Disney Company (DIS) Stock Is About to Get Another Boost From “The Avengers”

If Gregg loves the role as much as he purports to, it shows on screen in the first episode. Whedon, too, sees the show as a way to play with the entirety of Marvel’s vast assets. “This is a show that has so much history and so much to make … I guess I’m a little excited,” Whedon said at Comic-Con.

After paying $4 billion for Marvel in 2009, you can bet The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS) CEO Bob Iger is thrilled with the prospects. Everyday investors should feel similarly: Thousands of Marvel characters have yet to show up in the MCU. Whedon, with a history of producing fan favorites, is about to change that.
