Disney is currently looking into expanding its reach within the television sphere by considering creating dedicated channels for its Marvel and Star Wars properties.
Company CEO Robert Iger suggested such a move during last week's conference call, noting that while Disney already has a major stake in movies, theme parks, and toys, there's plenty of other areas for it to grow.
"We have said that with these channels and these brands -- ESPN, ABC, Disney, maybe even down the road something related to Star Wars and Marvel -- we do have an ability as a company to take product, specifically filmed entertainment, television, movies, directly to consumers," Iger said
