 So there was back and forth talks for a while but now the deal is officially done. Variety is reporting this morning that Disney has finally bought its official the film and television rights for 21st Century Fox totaling out a 52.4 billion dollars. No, so guys it's finally done and what did I think about it? Well let's get into it. My name is Brandon Keith-Avery and this is just my opinion. Hey guys thank you so much for tuning in to my opinion for this latest news this Thursday morning. I really do appreciate it but before we get into all the nitty-gritty help you boy out by clicking that subscribe button also click the bell so you can be notified when I make uploads and also give me that thumbs up. Let's see if we can get this video to 100 likes. Now there have been talks back and forth for a number of weeks now a couple of months ago that Disney is going to be acquiring assets for the other film and TV assets for 21st Century Fox. No one knew necessarily at the time how much money it would be if it was going to be 60 billion dollars 70 billion dollars 50 billion dollars but now we have all those answers. This is a huge deal of course there is a ton of details that we can comb through. I'm probably not going to be able to cover them all here in this video especially things that I want to cover but we're going to go over the highlights and you know you can comment below and what you think and what you are excited about for the future for film and television with Disney and what make what things that you may be a little skeptical about as well but Variety is reporting Disney to buy 21st Century Fox assets for 52.4 billion dollars in historic Hollywood merger and it also says that Disney the CEO Bob Iger extends his contract through 2021 to oversee the integration. Now I read this article but it is extremely long I'm just going to read this first paragraph here and then go over some bullet points and then we're going to talk about what I think about this and you know what I'm excited about and things that I'm a little skeptical skeptical on and then we can just go from there but it reads let me get this little bigger the Walt Disney Company has set a 52.4 billion all stock deal to acquire 20th Century Fox and other entertainment and sports assets from Rupert Murdoch's empire if you didn't know Rupert Murdoch is about 80 years old and he is the head over 21st Century Fox the deal between Disney and 21st Century Fox marks a historic union of Hollywood's heavyweights in a big bid by Disney to bolster a core and TV film business against an onslaught of new competitors in the content arena. Key elements of the transition availed this morning the deal values 21st Century Fox assets in the transaction at 66.1 billion including 13.7 billion in 21st Century Fox debt or a $28 as share the enterprise value of the deal is 69 billion. Disney Chairman CEO Bob Iger excuse me has extended his contract with the company for another two years through the end of 2021 in order to oversee the integration of assets I just said that 21st Century Fox shareholders will receive 0.2745 Disney shares for each Fox share he'll given Fox shareholders about 25% of Disney 21st Century Fox will spin off Fox broadcast and company Fox Sports Fox News Fox television stations and handle other assets into a new company that will have a revenue of $10 billion in earnings of about 2.8 billion the 20th Century Fox lot in Century in Century City will also remain the spin off Fox company three more bullet points. 20th Century Fox will continue to pursue its acquisition of the remaining 61% stake in Euro sat cash to Sky that does not already own with the intention of Disney taking it over with Disney Fox transition is completed. Disney expects to realize 2 billion in cost savings from combining Disney and Fox overlapping businesses within two years of the deal's closing and last one Disney expects the regulatory review of the acquisition to take as long as 18 months. So you know this is worth multi billion billion billions of dollars tens of billions of dollars so of course you know there's a lot to have to sift through so this is going to take 18 months to two years and that makes sense to me and just real quick you know everybody's reporting this the Murdoch's Fox Empire 20th Century Fox I'm going to divide this into cable network programming film entertainment other and television so Disney will uh will take control over this is the cable network and programming uh Amstrad LAP TV Skyplace Star TV and Tata Sky and the film entertainment they will of course take her over 20 Century Fox and Fox Studios Australia other things that they will take control of as National Geographic partners and also Hulu now Disney already had about a third of the third percent stake in Hulu and 20th Century Fox 21st Century Fox had the other third but now that they've acquired them they are now the majority shareholder and I'll go back to that in just a moment and as far as television is concerned Disney will now acquire Indemore Shine Group Fox International Fox Network Fox Television Stations and National Geographic Channels that Disney will not acquire Fox Business with Network Fox News Channel and Fox Sports Media Group so they they will not acquire those three but everything else that I just mentioned they will acquire now I just spoke about Hulu and Netflix is uh I don't know necessarily who's winning in the streaming game but of course Netflix and Hulu those are two lost competitors uh in this game worldwide and like a lot of people in the comments not in the comment section but when people are talking about comment book stuff you know I've seen some comments like Disney is only acquiring Fox because that inhumans failed on TV and you know that's the replacement of the X-Men and they are trying they want the Fox now just for X-Men no that doesn't make sense to me at least that is not the case at all this deal is much bigger than that um Disney a lot of the Disney properties have been on Netflix now uh their streaming services but Disney the large conglomerate that they are they are a part of the big six because all of the media of course in this country is controlled by like six companies only you know like well how many men were 330 million Americans and it's most of the media is controlled by six companies and Disney is one of them and Disney had a lot of their assets with Netflix or whatever but they want to be in control with everything and I can't really knock them for that um so they have been talking for a while that they're going to have their own streaming services but now that they have the majority shareholding of Hulu or whatever that could be their um their new streaming service or whatever and just take all their assets away from Netflix and then integrate it into Hulu and in my opinion that is one of the main reasons probably not the only reasons but one of the main reasons that this deal goes down because Disney wanted their own streaming service and they wanted more content because just be honest with you I was just saying myself okay Disney okay they have a lot of content but do they really have enough content to have their own streaming services well some what they do but now they have a whole bunch more so you know that just makes sense to me um that does get me excited now um something else that does interest me in this deal to most I'm going to be honest with you I am not a diehard like you know sports fan I do watch sports but you know Disney is not a crime Fox Sports Media group um and you know I like alien you know I'm really into film especially in TV if you know me for a while and watch my videos and read my reviews and things like that you know so you know like other movies like alien and predator and you know Avatar and you know things like that you know okay that's going over to Disney now that's fine no big whoop it really doesn't matter to me anyway but what most excited me about this whole deal is Disney acquiring the rights to all their comic book properties okay this deal is much bigger than that but that is what's most exciting to me and so that's what I want to talk about now um of course they have the rights to Deadpool right now and all of the X-Men and the MCU has been great in the past nine and a half years because it started in May of 2008 with Iron Man and so you know majority of all of their properties are going to be back under uh Disney now so that's great now Universal still owns the distribution rights to the Incredible Hulk and you know so the Hulk can pop up in that but they can't have like a solo Hulk movie because they will have to give some of that chunk of change to Universal and of course Sony still owns uh majority of uh Spider-Man Peter Parker but they now have all of X-Men which is great they all have now Deadpool but what gets me most excited was that they would acquire the rights to the Fantastic Four the first family and Marvel but in all this deal it is not necessarily clear if Disney is going to acquire the rights back to to the Fantastic Four because initially when all these reports came in I thought that they would but it was now brought to my attention and I found out uh not too long ago that Fox did not necessarily own the rights I mean they own the production rights but they didn't have the licensing or the distribution rights to Fantastic Four there's another foreign company by the name of Constantine Films that owns the distribution rights to um to the Fantastic Four so I don't know in this deal if Disney has the Fantastic Four yet but I hope they do with all the money please just cut them a reasonable check you know and get those right best because I really will love the Fantastic Four in the MCU that would just really make my day like just seriously you know we can get the Fantastic Four Doctor Doom Galactus Silver Surfer and so on and so forth so I hope that happens uh you know if Disney does acquire the rights to the Fantastic Four all you easily have to do is after um Avengers 4 that comes out May of 2019 have a Fantastic Four Origin if I was Kevin Feige if I was Alan Horn the president uh well the president of Disney of the motion picture studios or Bob Iger I would not announce any MCU films until um Comic Con of 2018 at the earliest if you can wait to Comic Con 2019 that would even be better the reason why is doing now now until those films come out you don't want a PR nightmare you want the press in the media and fans all around the world to focus only on the properties that you have a firm stamp on that you have a firm script on okay you don't like it so right now it's December 2017 February 2016 we have Black Panther May 4th we have Avengers Infinity War and then mid-July we have Ant-Man in the Wasp March of two you know so Comic Con 2018 will come after um Ant-Man in the Wasp so until that time you want our press our fans on media to focus only on Black Panther Avengers Infinity War and Ant-Man in the Wasp when you're promoting Black Panther you don't want them oh the deal is going down you know you announced a Fantastic Four who's going to be cast as is that of a no no no you don't want that or whatever because stuff could accidentally leak out no you want people to focus on those movies alone March of 2019 that's when we have uh what is her name Captain Marvel movie um then May that we have Avengers 4 and then I think in July or sometime after that that's when we have the Spider-Man home coming to so if you can wait until even then to make your announcement you can start working on it now of course if you have the rights you can start you know doing this and putting the script together but just wait okay so I'm hoping that in 2020 which is uh a little over two years from now the first movie that we're going to get in 2020 after an amazing spot nothing is the Spider-Man home coming to is please give us a Fantastic Four movie if we own the rights give us an easy origin story or whatever that can be great I mean that can just be perfect you know you could just make it up put it in there I would like that to be the first film in 2020 from the MCU if not you know later that year or 2021 if they've acquired the rights if they worked it out with Constantine films I don't see how that is not possible or whatever because everybody wants a Fantastic Four movie so you know we got that there now people are going to be wondering like people are like in love with Fox as far as their comic book properties are concerned they started out okay and they have gotten a lot better with X-Men First Class Logan and Deadpool X-Men Days of Future Past that was very great film as well but I did like X-Men First Class better Apocalypse X-Men Apocalypse was a very big disappointment of course we have Deadpool 2 coming out next June and then New Mutants coming out sometimes next year I'm on the fence right now with the New Mutants but I am really ecstatic for Deadpool 2 I forgot the point that I was about to make what point was I about to make oh now people are worried about you know since Logan and Deadpool came out and those are rated are properties that oh I don't know if you know Disney is going to make all rated movies now you know I made a video like a week or two ago about this and I was a little worried there I'm not worried about this now because let's take two things right now first of all Disney is already making already content with their Netflix shows with The Punisher seasons 1 and 2 Daredevil Luke Cage all of that all except for like maybe Iron Fist which kind of sucked but they're already making already content so they're going to be making already content with X-Men or whatever we can have it we can have an X-Men series on Hulu or whatever on Netflix or how they work it out or we can have um um well now I'll take that but not an X-Men series we can have like a Logan R rated movie or Wolverine movie or we can have a Logan origin story or Wolverine on Hulu or whatever and make it rated R it doesn't they're already doing that now and the second point is until this time Disney didn't own any R rated content or whatever they didn't own Deadpool which is R rated they didn't own Wolverine which is R rated they didn't own Blade necessarily or maybe they did own Blade but you know they're waiting until they bring that to the forefront they didn't own like Cornage which is an R rated Spider-Man property I mean Disney has co-deals with them now but they're not going to make a Cornage movie you know out the top out the gate that will be stupid now Sony's doing that with Venom right now which I'm completely disappointed about so people is just saying this Disney did not have any R rated content to put out in the first place and then the R rated content that they did have was with Netflix with all the Netflix shows so I'm not worried about that at all I think that would just be fine as far as the continuity is concerned with Deadpool I think that they should keep the continuity or they can reboot it but if they keep the continuity with Deadpool by himself I'm perfectly fine with that you can keep Ryan Reynolds in the role because he breaks the fourth wall that will work he could literally look at the screen doing a movie of some source and be like hey you know I'm Deadpool are you confused now that I'm playing the same part and I was over at Fox now maybe I'm at Disney well it doesn't matter because the deal went down like this and then and that all right back to the action and he goes and kick his butt that will work perfectly fine because that's within Deadpool's character so you know we have fantastic for taking care of check we have Deadpool take care of check now I would as far as X-Men is concerned they do need to reboot that I don't want the continuity that they have with X-Men at 20th Century Fox to have anything to do with the MCU no because while they did great with X-Men first class and days of future past overall with X-Men one two and three and X-Men or just Wolverine and whatever else they put out I'm extremely disappointed and I don't want that to have anything to do with the MCU so they need to reboot that just entirely or whatever and I would just be completely happy with that now as far as huge me people just like oh Hugh Jackman he's great in the role he's played Wolverine for 17 years you know I love you Hugh Jackman you know you you know that's what's up to you my brother but at the same time you know I do want a rebooted Wolverine character as well I do want to show I did enjoy you in the role but at the same time they didn't just you know knock you out the park with your adaptation with the adaptation of your character whatever Wolverine is much shorter much stockier and you know and that's fine and plus Hugh Jackman said himself and in the promotion of his latest film the greatest showman which will be released released in theaters on December the 20th he doesn't really want to come back anyway and he could change his mind but you know I doubt it he's tired of working now two to three times a day and eating nine times a day and all that good stuff plus even if he will rather come back and like there's another pundit and that was talking about this John Campia shout out to John Campia it wouldn't make sense for him to come back he's gonna come back for a one movie and then or two maybe and then you have to reboot it that just doesn't make sense right there and and also a lot of fans like oh maybe they can put Wolverine in Avengers 4 no no no no that will be a horrible idea they are filming Avengers 4 right now and they just have this script intact and it's time with the vengeance infinity war so why would you just shoehorn in Wolverine's character at the end of or Deadpool at the end of Avengers 4 or at a post-credits and you are writing yourself into a corner no I don't want to see X-Men Deadpool or Wolverine in Avengers 4 at all let all of that come later on take your time take your time take your time you are before this deal went down Marvel Disney already had enough content to last us fresh new movie ideas all the way to 2050 seriously now that they have all this I mean I can be 99 years 100 years old and we can still be getting new fresh content I mean it is just that rich like look at this the whole Marvel encyclopedia is just thick of content I mean you know look at this so we don't need to be shoehorn and then take your time take your time take your time we have enough time I got another and oh crap I got my DC encyclopedia here too but we just talking about Marvel but yeah so take your time they don't they don't need to pop up there you know in Avengers 4 I think that's just a horrible mistake now what else about this deal now just for fun or whatever I would like to see this in an animated 3d movie not a live action movie because it would try to mention my mic and send it with my head sorry about that I was in an animated 3d movie I would like to see a crossover of the Avengers X-Men Star Wars alien predator plenty of the apes you know whatever in an animated 3d movie just for fun and you know craps and grans or whatever do I want to see that in a live action no that would just be crazy just too much over the top no no no no but just for fun or whatever you know I would go check it out in the theaters I will buy you or whatever you know that will be just you know badass the Avengers and the X-Men teaming up against Galactus and you know you know Thanos and Kane the Conqueror and Darth Vader and the Sith you know that would just be kind of cool to me or whatever but you know that's pipe dream you know we can stay with the live action stuff for now so I want to make sure there is nothing that I'm leaving out in this you know in this movie now of course it would in this deal of course some people would be sad because you know maybe we're not because right now we probably get about six to eight comic book movies a year we probably won't get that much because you know first it was just two movies a year for Marvel Disney now we're getting three movies a year and then Fox was putting out two to three movies a year as well so that's five and then you know Warner Brothers DC was maybe putting out one or two with that may drop down but that's fine you know if we get if we get four to five movies from Disney hopefully five or whatever that would be great I think that you know maybe Disney they can have okay first of all if they do already movies they already do already shows on Netflix and that's going to be over going over the Hulu most likely most likely they're going to put the already series on on the streaming service or whatever but if we do if Disney does give already movies I think we should get one already movie per year and that should be released in January because January is a kind of a toilet bowl season for movies and this will reinvigorate that month for big blockbuster properties also there would be no there would be no competition as well now you also want to spread these movies out amongst all studios because you know bringing Warner Brothers and DC into this the box office for Justice League is crap okay it doesn't even look like they they're not going to get to 700 million worldwide they may not get to 650 but comic book fans like myself we're going to go receive regardless but the general audience is not so we need Justice League and other film studios their comic book properties to do well because that will help Marvel do well a rising tide raises all ships so if Disney is putting out stellar excuse me guys I'm sorry my my thought I'm about to die here I need to take a sip of water excuse me okay I just couldn't do it anymore I was fighting it um if even if Disney is putting out content that's like 9.5 9 10 out of 10 each time and they're just knocking it out the park just perfect content but another studio like Fox or Warner Brothers are putting out crap content that is going to hurt hurt Disney box office or whatever because the general audience for the most part does not distinguish in between studios they just see another comic book oh there's another comic book movie I think this character's popping up hey kids you want to go see it okay let's go see it or whatever you know that they're not going to be able to distinguish that so you know any other studio making crap content or whatever will lower the box office for any other studio so we all need all studios um you know to do well so um in saying that since Fox is not necessarily up to the part as Disney's Marvel it will be great if we don't get as much content per year and it can be concentrated or consolidated to fewer films of course if I can have 10 comic book movies per year that would be great within all the studios but you know if we have to drop that down just a little bit to have better content to have better films I would really like that I would really appreciate it so between Fox and Marvel uh yeah Fox and Marvel Marvel Disney we would get six per year but if that dropped down to like four I would have to accept it but maybe five or whatever but I would want one already movie in January Marvel Disney already has the main uh calendar unlock or whatever so May 1st and you don't want things to be bounced up I think it was a horrible idea to have Thor Ragnarok and Justice League come out with between two weeks of each other they were just stupid to me so we can have one movie in January also have one movie in March and one movie in May and then have another movie in July because that's kind of what Marvel's doing this was anyway because they have Black Panther coming out in February three months later they have um they have Avengers Infinity War and then in July they have Ant-Man and the Wasp but there's like a two to three month gap and so then they have the rest of the year for more comic book movie so give us a comeback like studios need to work it out like Warner Brothers as well they need to work it out to where they have one comic book movie every one to three months so this is not jam packed or whatever and everybody can maximize profits okay so oh excuse me I'm not worried about that and I just want this video is coming up on 25 minutes I want to make sure I'm not leaving anything out if I was doing these shows live I would be able to have a conversation and then it's coming guys I just need to make my computer more powerful or whatever so things are not buffering things like that um I talked about fantastic for I talked about Deadpool X-Men I talked about Hulu streaming services also um you know people may be losing their jobs which sucks nobody wants to lose the job but you know we're just gonna have to see you know what happens with that hopefully they can work thing out hopefully they could just bring on some of the staff over to Disney and you know be under the the rule of Kevin Feige but you know we're gonna see also with Star Wars I'm really excited because Disney owns the original uh the original theatrical releases of Star Wars so like New Hope I don't I don't want new special versions that George Lucas put the CGI in because it sucks it stands out like a sword thumb I just don't like it so hopefully we can get the original Star Wars in like a remastered 4k resolution that would be great and um I think guys that I've covered everything or at least that I want to talk about if I missed anything please let me know in the comment section below well guys thank you so much for tuning in to
