March 20, 2019 marked a seismic shift in the entertainment industry. Hollywood heavy hitter Disney closed its landmark $71.3 billion deal to purchase 21st Century Fox’s entertainment arm. The company now faces the unenviable task of stitching together two strikingly distinct corporate cultures and catalogs — the conservative, family-friendly Disney with its incredibly profitable mega-franchises and the edgier Fox with its boundary-pushing film and television lineups. Regardless of the challenges ahead, bringing the X-Men, Avengers, Simpsons, and Jedi under one roof will undoubtedly bolster Disney’s position as it gears up for the fight of its life.
2019 年 3 月 20 日，娛樂產業被投下一記震撼彈。好萊塢強棒迪士尼以具里程碑意義的 713 億美元成交，買下二十一世紀福斯娛樂事業部門。迪士尼現在面臨了艱難的任務，要將兩個截然不同的企業文化和產品項目兜在一起──擁有驚人獲利之百萬系列電影的保守且闔家適宜的迪士尼，以及有著挑戰極限之電影和電視劇的前衛福斯。無論面臨何等挑戰，讓 X 戰警、復仇者聯盟、辛普森家庭和絕地武士齊聚一堂，想必能在迪士尼全副武裝為生存而戰時，提升其戰鬥力。
