Disney has resumed talks with 21st Century Fox about buying at least part of the company, as Fox weighs whether to shrink its empire. If the deal goes through, it would mean a huge addition to Disney’s already vast content library. Amongst Fox’s assets are some Marvel properties, such as X-Men, as well as James Cameron’s Avatar franchise.
Comcast has also approached 21st Century Fox to express interest in a possible acquisition, according to reports citing people familiar with the matter. The media giant wants to explore talks to buy Fox’s movie and TV studio, some of its cable networks, and its stakes in satellite TV provider Sky, Star India and the Hulu streaming service.
