Does this mean now that Disney has bought Fox Marvel own the rights to certain DC characters?

Best Answer

According to Forbes:

Part of Disney’s acquisition is set to include the purchase of 20th Century Fox Television. This is not the same thing as Disney purchasing the Fox network, which is not part of the deal.

What Disney is potentially buying is every show Fox produces, including The Simpsons, Family Guy, The Gifted, Empire and off-network shows like This is Us and Modern Family. However, the Hollywood giant will have no power over shows provided by third-party studios airing on Fox, including the Warner Bros. owned Gotham, Lucifer and Lethal Weapon, and Universal owned Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

Disney only owns what Fox produces.
