Update : Well that did n’t take long . CNBC has updated their original tarradiddle to say that while FOX and Disney have indeed had sales event dialogue over the past few weeks , the two ship’s company are n’t currently communicating , and that a deal is by no means sure . That said , CNBC also acknowledges that cut-rate sale talks could be revisited in the future . For what it ’s worth , FOX stock monetary value soared upward right after CNBC ’s initial report was unloosen .

21st Century FOX is in talks to deal parts of its company to Disney , in a deal that could see movie rights to theX - MenandFantastic Fourreturn to Marvel . One of the parts FOX is looking to betray is the twentieth Century FOX motion-picture show and TV production studio apartment , which one presumes would admit the rights to anything said studio controls , including theX - MenandFantastic Foursuperhero teams .

Marvel Studios ' unfitness to use theX - MenandFantastic Four- as well as most of their supporting casts - within the MCU dealership has long been a tender speckle with Marvel fans , and itdidn’t look likely that FOX would ever be disposed to give the film right to the characters back to Marvel . That could all change if the proposed FOX / Disney sale goes through , as FOX is reportedly look to descend out of said sales event as a small company focused on news and sports .

accord toCNBC’sreport , the only major firearm of 21st Century FOX ’s amusement operation that Disney would n’t be buying if this plenty goes through would be the real FOX broadcast web . Disney already own ABC , and therefore can not also own another programme connection , due to FCC regulations . Disney would also not be corrupt any of FOX ’s cable news or sport channel , the latter due to concern that meld them with Walter Elias Disney - owned ESPN could be seen as a violation of antimonopoly rule .

While Disney would n’t be taking over the FOX programme net , the potential sale would reportedly admit FOX ’s assortment of introductory cable entertainment channel , including FX , FXX , and the National Geographic Channel . One enquire what the situation would be go forward for the FOX net lineup , as any show produced by FOX ’s television receiver studio apartment would now be the property of Disney . Perhaps FOX is thinking forward on this , and plans to make an concord with Disney to retain broadcast rights to shows likeThe SimpsonsandThe X - Files .

If this deal were to finally enable characters like Wolverine , The Thing , and Deadpool to join the MCU , one can only envisage how manyamazing crossovers that rooter have up until now only dreamed ofmight become possible going forrard . For now though , there is nothing to do but wait and watch the sale talks to see what ultimately transpires .
