It is impressive how well Comcast (a cable company) is doing in their movie and theme park business.

They’ve been strong stewards of Universal for sure.

Definitely a different Universe where NBC-Universal was the first to fall… I guess one could make the argument it was the first to fall, but at least it was not stripped entirely of its identity.

Iger should take a couple of showers to take his mind off his activist investor worries.

I do not know why he is worried. Iger will win. TWDC will continue business as usual and a lot of people will be happy this is the case.

Peltz: "Bob Iger is what's wrong with Disney, he was supposed to go, but he hasn't, and he should."

Also Peltz: "Oh, yeah, I don't want to fire him."

Looks like someone's internal polling shows attacking Iger isn't going well with investors....

https://x.com/BoardwalkTimes/status/1768032848055812488?s=20 I found this tweet with the article from Bloomberg that I can't get to read due of paywall said the Disney Board is focusing on the divisional heads as part of a formal search for a successor to Disney CEO Bob Iger.

The four are:
Dana Walden J
immy Pitaro
Alan Bergman
Josh D’Amaro

Sadly in my opinion, all four of them aren't that great. I was hoping it would be Kevin Mayer and Tom Staggs as Co CEOs of Disney. But now I know it might not happen. Dana Walden is too political, I've heard she discriminates white people. Josh D'Amaro, well, I don't think the fans like him and I don't want Bob Iger to hire a CEO of DIsney Parks as CEO of Disney again, like he did last time with Bob Chapek. I don't know about the other two, but I presumed their not that good as well. I don't know. I don't think those four are the right choices. So I'm afraid this is a concern for Disney in my opinion.

Until a successor is announced they are looking at all candidates including those internal. Its called doing their due diligence.

Also Walden does not discriminate against white people despite what some may claim.

Well, if Iger chose one of these four, Disney will be in jeopardy!😔

That's not what the article says.

It implies that Iger didn't think Rasulo and others didn't have what it takes.

It says outsiders might say that Walden and other don't have what it takes.

But the article says nothing about Iger's feelings about the current candidates.

Yep, with the double negative the OP says this says nothing about what Bob thinks
