This news comes the same day that a CNBC report said Disney was close to a deal to acquire parts of Fox's studio and television production assets, valued at more than $60 billion.
The FT said that if such a deal does close, Murdoch would likely "take a senior executive role with Disney."
That would put him in a prime spot to potentially take over from Iger, if the CEO retires as slated in 2019. (Iger has extended his tenure before after scheduling a retirement.)
"No promises have been made," however, one person briefed on the talks told The FT.
