Disney C.E.O. Bob Iger Hands Keys to Magic Kingdom to Its 7th Chief (Published 2020)

He will be replaced by Bob Chapek, who was most recently chairman of Disney’s parks business.

While it might be an unrealistic hope, maybe Disney will return to some of its former values and stop pumping out remakes and reboots at high speeds in order to make money. Iger was responsible for the massive changes Disney has seen as a company in the past decade or so, and even though this is probably a planned retirement, I say good riddance.

We can only hope he isn't replaced with someone even worse.

Outstanding! I need to collect my winnings. I bet on Chapek, over two years ago, to take over as CEO.

It was foretold to me by staring deeply at a Taco Bell wrapper with “FIRE!” sauce smeared on it, spelling out “Chapek”.

All is as The Force—and Taco Bell—wills it.

Considering the price of Disney Parks has reached ridiculous levels, I'm not sure the guy will be any better

Like I said, given how profitable Iger was, it’s likely Chapek is just a crony of his who was waiting in the wings to be Iger 2.0

Hopefully, they did their due diligence and at least measured his Midi-chlorian count before bestowing the title “The Chosen One” upon Chapek?

Lucky him to inherit all the debt that Iger racked up buying up other companies.

As for Igor, he will no doubt continue his search for “Abby-Normal”....
