Disney plans to be buying 20th Century Fox movie studio, 20th Century Fox Television TV studio and FX Networks, while the remaining Fox assets, including Fox Broadcasting Company, national sports cable networks FS1 and FS2, Fox News Channel and the Fox stations, will form a new company.
What this means for Disney is that it will have access to Fox’s library of films and TV shows, which Disney can then include on its upcoming streaming service, for example.
It also has the side effect of X-Men, Fantastic Four, and Deadpool characters possibly entering the MCU.
The deal is somewhat complicated, so here’s a refresher for everyone.
