MUMBAI: The Walt Disney Studios has entered into an exclusive multi-year deal with Spider-Man creator and producer Stan Lee and his production company Pow! Entertainment to develop and produce all forms of entertainment.

On announcing the deal The Walt Disney Studios chairman Dick Cook 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 inventive 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."

Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment president Bob Chapek was instrumental in bringing this deal to Disney and will work closely with Lee on many of his projects, states an official release.

"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 incredible 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," said Lee.
