Walt Disney Co. said it will stop making movies in Georgia if the state enacts a law that critics say legalizes discrimination, particularly of gay people.

“Disney and Marvel are inclusive companies, and although we have had great experiences filming in Georgia, we will plan to take our business elsewhere should any legislation allowing discriminatory practices be signed into state law,” Disney said in an e-mail Wednesday.
