Might as well say goodbye to Spiderman. This guy isn't going to sit down with Sony to hash a plan out.
Even if they do they will report to Chapek. Still badChapek??? fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck! Dude has apparently fucked over the parks pretty well lately. Can the parks division at least get someone good now?
He has cutback a lot of the entertainment in the parks. Toy Story Land and Galaxy's Edge were supposed to be larger but he forced them to be cut back. He has been forcing IP into EPCOT instead of having it be more of a place to learn.I'm out of the loop with Disney management. Can someone explain why he's bad?
Fuck, and not even Holland will get though to him.Might as well say goodbye to Spiderman. This guy isn't going to sit down with Sony to hash a plan out.
Eh, he was getting ready to for years but then stayed on to make sure the Fox deal went through and settled and for Disney+ to be completely setup and launchedJust shocked its out of the blue when he kept renewing his contract to stay on as CEO up to end of 2021. etc., I think conference call is coming up shortly and will be on CNBC with a interview later.

Buying Marvel for $4 billion when the MCU train was already rolling was a swindle for the ages.
And ticket prices have skyrocketed as entertainment options have decreased.
It's a shame that his successor was Bob Chapek and not Kevin Mayer. Kevin Mayer dealt with the acquisition of Marvel, Pixar and Lucasfilm and is currently head of Disney Streaming Services, he seemed to be the perfect candidate for the CEO role.
Oh wow, huge imagineering fan! (to the point I really wanted to be one) Any projects you personally worked on you can talk about?
No? He's stepping down a year earlier than intended and with a controversial successor now named.Old news?
Disney CEO Bob Iger says he will step down in 2021, a succession plan is forming
I searched and didn't find a thread about this https://www.cnbc.com/2019/04/11/disney-ceo-bob-iger-says-he-will-step-down-in-2021.htmlwww.resetera.com
I do not feel one way or the other about this, Disney movie wise played it very safe under Iger, I hope that they will have more risks in the future.
The one who should be credited for the mcu is Kevin Feige plus Star Wars under Disney is very controversial. I guess I should congratulate him for buying stuff? The Disney Renaissance happened already.Disney got back both $4B investments in Marvel and Star Wars in record time. It was a freaking rocket ship return.
Get ready for Bob Iger entering the presidential race last second.
I always thought this too.
There was always chatter that Mayer was going to be next in line because of how involved he has been with every major decision Iger has done.
Seems like a step-back to give to it to Chapek.
Unless they asked and he said no. I hope the Chapek promotion won't bite them in the ass.

Yeah, seems only fair that Iger had to pay the price for how horrible TRoS was..considering how they completely ruined the two last Star Wars movies.
yeah, a head had to roll

No one seriously believes this right?Yeah, seems only fair that Iger had to pay the price for how horrible TRoS was..
I hope not.
Bob Chapek...?
sigh, I guess we are not gonna get DinoLand USA replacement anytime soon. Also, Epcot will become even more like IP-land.
And cast experience. C'mon Josh D'Amaro.
That's some revisionist history right there.The MCU when Disney took over was the surprise hit of Iron Man and the flop of Incredible Hulk with both movies combined making less than DC's Dark Knight which was released in between them. Hancock made more money than Iron Man! Hancock!!Buying Marvel for $4 billion when the MCU train was already rolling was a swindle for the ages.
I'd like to announce that Disney's Animal kingdom will at last be getting a long awaited BEASTLY KINGDOM
themed parking lot
101 Dalmatians with Glenn Close > Maleficent with Angelina. The math checks out.
Damn, some of it sounds really cool! and it really seems that imaginering is trying their best with what they have right now.I worked mostly on the franchise and synergy team. We worked with all park heads to gather and process information needs while simultaneously tracking financial goals for all parks over short and long term.
At the time this included fluctuations in how budgeting was adjusted for projects like the Guardians overlay for Tower of Terror, to Star Wars Labd(super early in concept circa 2016 ish), to even trying to get a little corner setup in parks for Captain America or Spider-Man to have photo ops while new MCU pics release.
Some stuff was rather dull, like trying to get appropriations into new parking or walkways in FL or DLR.
All were like pulling teeth to accomplish and good ideas sunk constantly.
But until I left, the Star Wars setup for the park planning was our office location and it was super cool. Models hanging from ceiling, a conference table shaped like a star destroyer. Autonomous R2's wandering the area designed by R&D. You felt the excitement and creative juices flowing and I too hoped the end result was gonna make a bigger splash...
Sadly he would still report to Chapek.
