More details about Disney's acquisition of 21st Century Fox have made their way online.
According to CNBC's sources, the Mickey Mouse House's deal with 21st Century Fox has the company valuing the studio's television and movie assets at a total enterprise value of $60 billion. If the deal were to push through, then shareholders at Fox would also hold 25 percent of the new and bigger Disney.
Though reports earlier this week claim that Disney and Fox might be able to finally reach a deal, analysts aren't expecting the Mickey Mouse House to make any announcements regarding the new company's management just yet.
Right now Disney's the only company trying to purchase Fox – the studio's rival, Comcast, dropped out of the competition back on Monday. Both Disney and Fox would gain a lot from the acquisition. For Disney it would mean the addition of movie studio and television production assets (more importantly, for Marvel fans, the return to of the X-Men and the Fantastic Four to Marvel), a move that would help the company compete against Facebook, Amazon, and Netflix.
For Fox, it would mean a lot of international exposure and ownership in Disney and the UK-based Sky.
We're hoping that the deal finally pushes through this week so the X-Men franchise can finally return to Marvel.
