Some major news dropped this morning when it was reported by multiple sources that Disney has been in talks with Fox media to acquire a majority of their assets. Disney would not only seek to acquire Fox TV Studios, but also properties like 20th Century Fox, Fox Searchlight, and more. The only properties of Fox that they would not acquire would be Fox Sports and Fox News Networks. This would also mean that franchises like the X Men series, as well as current TV and future shows like Gifted, and even Family Guy, would be under the Disney mantel. While this deal is certainly just "talks," as of right now, it is hard to imagine that Disney would not pitch Fox a deal that they couldn't refuse. Disney is also already a massively popular entity and the Xmen film series is really the only mega successful superhero franchise, with DC having not exceeded their budget on two films and only being 4 films into their planned expanding universe, Marvel has reigned supreme. Fox was also not helped by the failed Spiderman spin off universe or the massive flop that was Fantastic Four. Whether this deal will happen of not is to be seen but until then, let keep and eye out and see where this all goes.
