That's 8 billion dollars more than what Disney offered, and I'm sure Disney probably was using some plastic there for that intended purchase.

How much do you think the X-Men, Fantastic Four and others are worth to Disney and Marvel now? It's about to get interesting.

I could be mistaken but I was under the impression that the rights for the X-Men and F4 would revert back to Marvel in this scenario since the rights aren't transferable.


Plus I believe Fox accepted the deal with Disney in the first place because there would be less government resistance with Disney as opposed to Comcast.

Fanboys everywhere are gonna hate Comcast though if this isn't the case.
