Disney Looking To Purchase Hasbro Next?

The world was shocked last week when Disney and George Lucas announced that Lucas had sold Lucasfilm studio, which includes the rights to Star Wars and most of its characters, to the company. Now, it appears that Disney has possibly turned their attention to buying another company with even more film and toy opportunities for them.

According to MTV, Disney has been in contact with Hasbro about acquiring them and at the moment it’s just talks. But apparently these talks are serious enough that we could see an announcement made any day that the media giant has purchased another company.

Normally, deals like this would take time but Disney has been moving quite quickly to get these deals done. Rumor is that the Lucas deal only took them roughly around six months. With the purchase of Hasbro, Disney would gain the G.I. Joe and Transformers properties. Yes, this means that you may not see any more Michael Bay directed Transformers films after the fourth film comes out. As of the moment none of this is confirmed but that could very well change very soon. However, for now…take this one with a grain of salt.
