From day one, I have felt that he was a coward to quit and return. Whole-heartedly agree with you here.
Actually, Iger is pivoting away from pushing things unnecessarily to D+. He (like other streamers) are capitulating to Wall Street which is punishing their stocks for their streamers being in deficit (which was the plan initially to be a loss leader to corner the streaming market).
Well they’re smart to pivot away from streaming…because it continues to show that it will NEVER be the 1999 cable that every exec like Iger claimed it would be.
He had a good run in the most juiced, artificially inflated economy in the modern era…
You got any “insider info” on TLM casting?
…if all goes well
The layoffs and restructuring is occurring most severely at the theatrical and Disney Plus divisions, and is a direct byproduct of the losses they’ve experienced from their released films. Film performance is highly germane to this topic. I’m sorry it highlights a sore subject for some but better performing films would take care of some of these problems.

Even the GOTG financial ones, expressing facts - not opinion or prognostication- were wiped. This probably will be too. Not sure how the underperformance of huge tentpole films don’t affect the things you said, but oh well.Financial performance - yes. Division performance - yes.
Why I think TLM is a good film or not... not for this thread. The moderator just wiped out a ton of posts for the same reason. Get the hint
You can bet if movies keep tanking we will see even more layoffs.
Iger said as much if he's being honest if accountability is part of his new MO. Of course I don't want anyone to lose their jobs but that's what happens.
Not personally a huge Iger fan but most big companies are doing layoffs right now. Disney also still has a lot of bloat from the Fox merger and preexisting bloat that Chapek never properly dealt with.
Yes…but all the “chapek” mistakes he has claimed are the problems…are pretty much his fault.
