Not that it matters, but I don't think McFarland had anything to do with King of the Hill or Bob's Burgers. I could be wrong.

At least 2-3 of those plus Feige. Not sure why people keep forgetting Feige. If I were ATT I would come in with trucks full of money to try to lure him.
That said, I think Disney will certainly resign Feige, JJ, Favreau, Seth.

Like every other show, Seth signed the IP away when the show got off the ground, so yes, they own all the IP.

No I don't think so but hopefully today or tomorrow we will hear such. Also hopefully Televisa suit gets thrown out, and Cofece issued such response yesterday to such.

It's been a year of transition for the multimedia dynamo, but now the company is racing toward the finish.

I hope Televisa gets rejected since they spark controversy the most.

Didn’t he produce the Cosmos reboot?

Good Point, I forgot Feige is up for renewal this year. I don't know what Feige is seeing as his future career? Does he plan on being an Executive and Producer or just a Producer? Does he look to replace Horn with an eventual eye toward the Disney CEO job or does he go from studio to studio making movies?

yup and the ability to continue making more. Seth will still get checks, but Disney can do what they want.

Yup
I suspect if the Neil Degrasse Tyson investigation goes poorly, they will redo the narration with Seth and probably the 'host' stuff as well.

I agree. I think he'll renew his contract for another 5-7 years. Without him, there wouldn't be a MCU. I wonder if he'll stick around up to the MCU's 20th anniversary.

Honestly that is a lot to ask of anyone in their current role. I don't think we can expect Feige to hang on as long as Lassetter did (alleged groping notwithstanding), I would expect him to get another Disney position at some point in the future or move on to another studio.
He is enough of a nerd though, he could be content.

Yeah, but at least he could find someone who can still make the MCU going strong, moving forward even though he might get a Disney promotion in the near future. Every MCU movie is fresh on rotten Tomatoes. I think if the Incredible Hulk Extended Edition was released in cinemas, having the extended scenes included would've fleshed out the plot, history and character development. It also would've made Incredible Hulk certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. Thor: The Dark World would've had the same thing if Alan Taylor leaned too hard on the romance sub-plot just like Patty Jenkins did. That's why I want every MCU film certified fresh. Iron Man 2 and AOU probably would've been rated a little higher if they included all of Ivan Vanko's character development scenes and the Thor Norm Stones sub-plot.

I think Disney were trying to get him to also look over Lucasfilm if Kennedy did go a while ago but I think it's too big of a role for one person to look after these two collous IPs. I'd rather he stayed at Marvel and continued to steer that ship.
I still wish for Disney to bag JJ Abrams and all of Robot Chicken to exclusively make movies and TV shows for Disney that was teased a while ago. I don't think JJ would want to be tied to Star Wars but maybe a 5 year contract would work?
A while back there were a lot of rumours about him moving to Lucasfilm given hes apparently a big star wars fan. The MCU is in a position where he could pass it off to someone else and I think it would mostly be fine he could remain on as a consultant or advisory to assist when needed. And Lucasfilm could certainly use someone with his experience. But I think he will renew at least through phase 4 given the collection of characters about to return.

None of those are good choices on the television side. Why because none of them have shown the ability to develop, write, and produce multiple well received TV shows are the same time.
Steven Levitan's only hit television show is Modern Family. He isn't proven and hasn't had the ability to do multiple shows at once.
Seth McFarlane has had multiple hit shows but at the same time his level of consistency is off.
Favreau is so ingrained with Disney I don't know why that's a worry.
Lastly JJ wants a deal that only three studios can give him: Disney Universal or WB. The issue for all three will be on the video game development as Disney got rid of their game division while Universal is working on acquiring gaming companies as well as WB.
Disney should've focused on maintaining Shonda who actually was instrumental and given them multiple hits, Kenya Barris and Nam Khan who also gave them lots of hits as well.
Now they are going to lose Dan Fogelman who has a personality vendetta based on his experience working with Disney after his own huge hit show came out (This is Us)
