Whether this happens or not, the next studio i'd expect that may be looked as an acquisition piece an Apple, Comcast or Netflix (never count them out I guess), would probably be Sony i'm guessing.
If there's one thing from the merger, it could be Eurosport. It would fit in with Sky and Peacock well. I feel like NBCUniversal would love to buy HLN and CNN to squash competition, but for anti-trust reasons, they would almost certainly not be allowed due to owning MSNBC, CNBC and NBC News.Rumor on the street is Comcast buying part of the Discovery WB company while retaining full ownership of NBCUniversal

Amazon has the money MGM never dreamed of to throw at that family and tbh, unless they are EXTREMELY principled and just don’t want to make a deal with Amazon under any circumstances, then Amazon doesn’t have much to worry about long term.
And tbh, they may not even purchase MGM if they can’t get an assurance from EON that they’ll be willing to work together on Bond projects going forward. It’s been rumored that they want No Time To Die to be the last Bond film.
