Neither Disney nor Fox has commented on the situation, but consider Disney managed to acquire Lucasfilm without rumours spreading beforehand, there’s a possibility talks are happening.
Last month, news spread that Disney was joking to acquire Fox, share prices for both companies to increase as a result.
Hollywood trade publication Deadline reports that talks regarding Fox’s film studio are still ongoing.
According to the report, many people around Hollywood are not thrilled about the news, nervous about another major studio coming under the Disney wing.
