About a month ago, we heard through the grapevine that Disney was in talks with 20th Century Fox to acquire a whole lot of properties, including the X-Men, who have been licensed to Fox for decades.
But that doesn’t mean it won’t still happen, and according to a rumor going around town, the deal might be heating up again.
As Fleming said, we won’t know for sure that a deal has been reached, or the ramifications of it, until it’s officially announced.
The version I heard has the Murdoch clan keeping possession of sports and news properties, and the rest of TV and the film studio going to Disney.
