Disney's 2009 $4B purchase of Marvel (using 'leftover' characters after Sony/Fox licenses) enabled Kevin Feige to build the MCU — 37 films, $32B box office by 2025, single-digit billions in theatrical profit alone. Avengers Endgame ($2.8B) proved the interconnected universe model. The acquisition cost less than one year of ESPN cable profits at the time.
