Despite the fact that Comcast has submitted a much higher bid for Fox’s media assets, Disney may still end up with the X-Men and Fantastic Four franchise rights.
For now, those in the media world are waiting to see what Fox is going to do and if Disney is going to try and outmuscle Comcast.
That has put the Disney deal in jeopardy and could start a bidding war, but it may not be so simple as winner take all.
Disney already has an agreement in place to purchase the majority of Fox’s assets valued at $52 billion.
