Former Disney boss Bob Iger is returning as CEO, replacing Bob Chapek, the company announced.

Bob Chapek, who replaced Iger in 2020 as CEO, is stepping down immediately. “We thank Bob Chapek for his service to Disney over his long career, including navigating the company through the unprecedented challenges of the pandemic,” Susan Arnold, Chairman of the Board for Disney, said in a statement on Sunday night.

That report sent Disney’s stock to tumble after a year of sluggish to bad performance. Chapek guided the company through the pandemic, one of its most tumultuous periods in its nearly 100-year history, but ultimately Disney decided that its future was in better hands with Iger. Iger has an almost mythical status as the leader of Disney. He spent 15 years as CEO and was instrumental in acquiring major brands like Marvel and Lucasfilm, the home to Star Wars.

Is he going to kneel before Lord DeSantis and agree to butch up those Disney movies with white, male heroes and evil dark villains ... you know, like Fox News.

Sadly Disney became anti-family, anti-kids…magic is gone.

Imagine that being woke isn’t a money making thing.

Makes sense for Disney and is great for shareholders. Hopefully they can get back to basics.

I bet 5 bucks, to come Back he negotiated for FULL CONTROL.

I hope this benefits Orange County, at least.

Great news for Disney and America

Chapek inherited a poison chalice. The pandemic was bad for a lot of businesses, and it looks like it was intended that Bob Iger would return after being spared bad press for earnings over the last 2 years. They threw Chapek under the buss. murica

Yep keep on tanking

Because of their wokeness, I will never watch anything from Disney again

Groomers

he's hot

I do not trust Disney content around my children. I am not sure I ever will again. Also, Star Wars and Marvel movies are unwatchable now.

Oh no. I hope they continue remaking every classic Disney film replacing the white characters with black ones until they’ve redone every film. Seeing Ariel replaced with Blariel makes me so happy. I was looking forward to Snow Black.

Maybe Bob can fix the mess the Bob created at this once good company
