Will Disney buy Universal? No, not in it's current form. However, one could come up with a scenario where Disney would be able to buy Universal Studions Florida (not the entire company, just that particular property.) Or, of course, there is the possibility that Disney could buy back the Marvel rights.

While the idea of a "Disney-Universal" merger is a frequent topic of fan speculation, it is highly unlikely to happen due to massive antitrust and anti-monopoly laws. In the United States, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Department of Justice would likely block such a move because it would create a virtual monopoly in the theme park and film production industries, stifling competition and leading to higher prices for consumers. Furthermore, Universal is owned by Comcast, a massive telecommunications conglomerate that views Universal as a core profitable asset, especially with the 2025/2026 opening of Epic Universe in Orlando. Additionally, the intellectual property "tangled web" is immense; for example, Disney owns Marvel, but Universal holds the theme park rights to many Marvel characters east of the Mississippi River. Rather than a buyout, the two companies are currently in a "Cold War" of expansion, with both investing billions into new lands to capture larger shares of the global tourism market.
