A former soldier who built a vast real estate and entertainment empire, Wang made waves in the U.S. film business in2012 when his company bought the cinema chain AMC.
He has since expressed his desire to adda Hollywood studio to his array of properties and boost Wanda's global reach. That goal was ticked off his list Tuesday with the announcement of the $3.5 billion deal for Legendary. The company's movie roster includes "The Hangover" and the recent "Batman" series from director Christopher Nolan.
