The Walt Disney Company (DIS) is gearing up for the most-watched casting decision of the decade: Who will replace Bob Iger in 2026? After decades of Disney power plays, Iger’s final act as CEO will be handing over the keys to the Magic Kingdom—and this time, the board better get it right. Disney’s previous succession saga was straight out of Succession—but less fun. Iger has led Disney for decades, initially becoming president in 2000 before taking on the CEO role in 2005. In 2020, Bob Chapek took the reigns from Iger, but after COVID-19 and heated streaming wars against other media conglomerates, the board hit rewind, bringing Iger back in 2022 to right the ship.
