No

According to Forbes:

Part of Disney’s acquisition is set to include the purchase of 20th Century Fox Television. This is not the same thing as Disney purchasing the Fox network, which is not part of the deal.

What Disney is potentially buying is every show Fox produces, including The Simpsons, Family Guy, The Gifted, Empire and off-network shows like This is Us and Modern Family. However, the Hollywood giant will have no power over shows provided by third-party studios airing on Fox, including the Warner Bros. owned Gotham, Lucifer and Lethal Weapon, and Universal owned Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

Disney only owns what Fox produces.

Here is the updated infographic of what Disney owns:

    Shouldn't Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch be in one of those bubbles? I thought they were both dual-owned? Also, funny but sad to see Stan outside the circle.

  • @JohnnyBones Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch were part of Fox, so now there are part of Disney.

    They also have a disclaimer at the bottom, where it says it is impossible to show every character in the Marvel Universe in the infographic.
