Disney can't buy them because I'm going to buy them first

Buying the whole of Sony just for Spiderman is silly.

What would Disney need their electronics division for?

Buy back Sony's Marvel characters, ok. Sony Pictures, not impossible but unlikely given Sony's strategy about entertainment and content. Sony as a whole ? LMAO

Yes, Disney are totally going to buy a multi-billion dollar corporation that operates in a number of industries they have no interest in, entirely to get the Spider-Man movie license back. And the Japanese government are just going to sit by and do nothing while one of the largest companies in their country is bought out by an American corporation. LMAO.

This is going to be misconstrued because of what "buyout" means in this context.

A lot of folks in here are going to think it means buying the company Sony… it's likely (if a lick of this rumor is even remotely true), that someone heard a conversation about a buyout of RIGHTS from Sony for the character Spider-Man.

large cash payment for Sony to give up their rights and revert back to Disney.

Disney is not buying a device maker and entertainment company like Sony… no way.

I seriously doubt this is real, but on the theoretical level, as far as size, couldn't Disney just buy Sony Pictures?

Even if this weren't total bullshit, Disney trying to buy another Big Six studio so soon after gobbling up Fox would draw major antitrust scrutiny, which is why they wouldn't do this even if they wanted to. And they probably don't want to: they get everything they really need out of Spider-Man right now with their partnership with Sony.

Literally any of the big tech companies buying Sony Pictures is more likely than Disney buying them.
