Who replaces Chapek?

Anyone from outside the company would be a nice change of pace.

Yeah I'd definitely like to see some new blood brought into the company, although I doubt Wall Street will go for that.

What Disney needs is someone who actually loves the company--it's history and it's craft. It always seemed that Bob Iger had disdain for Disney; that he saw it as little more than a brand to feed to the pixie dust-snorting masses. I suspect that, that's part of the reason for all of his acquisitions: he lacked confidence in Disney itself.
Chapek seems to have even more disdain for the company and its fanbase. Look at the way he speaks to fans and to the media, for example. Has anyone outside of politics ever spoken in a more vague, focus-group-tested, pandering manner before?

They should of been looking outside of the company. Stacey Snider would be a good pick if the board could entice her back

Snider would be an interesting choice indeed. I like the idea.

Isn't Josh D'Amaro being groomed as the hairy parent?

Looks like Bob Chapek is on A roll lately with Shang-chi Asian Lead Simu Liu Calling out the CEO calling the Movie an "experiment".
I know that they were talking about box office numbers, But If it is a First Asian Marvel Lead Movie and you call an "Experiment" it is not going sound good.

Josh D just finished his Destination D23 Parks presentation. If that wasn’t what a Disney CEO should be and sound like, then I don’t who would be better.
