Bob Iger Bring Back Kevin Mayer and Tom Staggs As Consultants For Disney

[TsWade2]

Good news everybody! Bob Iger brought back Kevin Mayer and Tom Staggs as consultants for Disney of their streaming strategy. Here’s the proof: https://puck.news/iger-brings-back-his-old-heir-apparents/ Just in case, here’s DisneyInsider telling the news from Puck: https://thedisinsider.com/2023/07/30/kevin-mayer-and-tom-staggs-returning-to-disney-sort-of/ If that’s the case, then maybe there’s a chance that Kevin Mayer and Tom Staggs will become Co-CEOs of Disney by 2026. Of course, that’s my optimistic talk.

If Disney buys Candle Media to bring them fully back and put them back in the succession question (which would make people go 'Why didn't Bob just name either of them back then?", of course), that means Disney would own Moonbug, Hello Sunshine, and a minority stake in Westbrook Inc. That could certainly have considerable impact on Reese Witherspoon and Will Smith's projects in having Disney be their first-look partner.
