CNBC reports that the value of the assets Disney is close to buying is upwards of $60 billion.
Fox is also talking with CNBC parent company Comcast, but the talks with Disney have progressed more significantly.
Here’s one small avenue to consider: If Disney buys Fox, then Disney also regains the movie rights for all of the Marvel characters held by Fox that they previously didn’t control.
If the deal goes through, we would be looking at a complete reshaping of the movie and television landscape.
