But there&#8217;s one issue. &#8220;That obviously takes some level of propensity for [Comcast] to have reasonable terms for us to get there,&#8221; he added Wednesday during the Goldman Sachs&#8217; Communcacopia 2022.&nbsp;"2024 is not that far away.&#8221; (For good measure, Chapek then repeated &#8220;2024 is not that far away;&#8221; perhaps that has become a bit of a company mantra when it comes to Hulu.) Currently, Disney owns two-thirds of Hulu to Comcast&#8217;s one-third.

Disney added 33 percent to its preexisting share after buying most of Fox&#8217;s entertainment assets in 2019 for $71.3 billion. At the time, Comcast and Disney struck a deal: Disney took immediate operational control of Hulu and agreed that as early as 2024, Comcast could require Disney to buy it out at fair market value.

Hulu is a nice streaming service, but it isn&#8217;t exactly core to either Disney or Comcast. Disney+ is the main focus of Chapek&#8217;s company; NBCUniversal&#8217;s Peacock is the primary streaming service for Comcast.

When Disney does have full ownership, assuming it happens, it will face another dilemma: Does the adult-skewing Hulu brand fit within Disney+? Is there room for two major streaming services under Cinderella&#8217;s roof?

Disney had a very busy week answering similarly important questions. Its annual Disney+ Day took place last Thursday, which was followed by three days of D23. Executives used those platforms, in part, to reinforce the company&#8217;s commitment to ESPN.
