I suspect that’s part of it but you don’t spend billions of dollars just to make a few X-men movies.

Whole video is good imo, but skip to around 2:06 onwards for the relevant bit. Sums up the feeling nicely I think.

#7Wow, Disney didn’t ask them to divest FX, which means they’re knowingly acquiring It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia among other content they’d normally not find palatable. They even call out that they’re bringing in The Americans and Deadpool. That’s kind of strange for Disney, given that historically they’re careful about what they’re associated with. I really hope they leave their new portfolio alone, but that’s not their MO with content that they find controversial.

#9So along with Disney pulling all their titles from Netflix for their own streaming service, I guess the FX content will be next to go from Netflix.

Yes you do.
According to wired, [0] Disney paid Lucas Arts $4.5B, which half was cash.
In 2016, [1] The Force Awakens made $1.54B globally. Maybe it's more now.
Lets say that the last Jedi manages the same success? Well, they made their money back and the new rumored trilogy. That's profit.
When you can put Spiderman and the X-men in the same universe as the Avengers and do the next 20 or 30 super hero movies where one, two, three, four, etc characters from the universe makes an appearance?
I'm pretty sure fans of whatever franchise will line up to throw money in seeing the movies.
This really sounds like a no brainer to me.
