The amount that Walt Disney can pay for the acquisition of 20th Century Fox in the event of successful negotiations between the parties will be about $ 60 billion. This was reported by CNBC, citing its sources.

The negotiations are said to have entered the final stage, and the deal may be officially announced next week. The current owner of 20th Century Fox, James Murdoch, turned out to comment on this topic, limiting himself only to the statement that "the company always strives to ensure that its shareholders receive the maximum possible profit." On rumors about the merger of the two companies, the shares of the parent company, 21st Century Fox, rose 3.2 percent at once.

Note that if a contract is signed, Walt Disney will own not only all Marvel heroes, rights to which were controlled by 20th Century Fox, but also the original movies from the Star Wars series and all promising projects such as the sequels of the fantastic movie Avatar. The deal does not apply to news and sports channels owned by Murdoch.
