Rejected by Fox, Comcast bids on key component of Disney’s purchase

Disney no longer needs to worry about Comcast outbidding them for most of 21st Century Fox’s assets. Comcast is moving on, but that doesn’t mean it’s all good news for Disney. Comcast has shifted their focus, but only slightly, as the company bids on one of the key components of the Disney-Fox deal.

While most of the focus, especially on a site like this one, has been on the superhero elements of the equation, the X-Men and Fantastic Four licenses were a relatively small part of the deal. European satellite television provider Sky was a major piece of the deal and that’s what Comcast is after with a $31 billion bid.
