Frequently asked questions
Who currently runs The Walt Disney Company, and what is the succession plan?
James P. Gorman, former CEO of Morgan Stanley, serves as Chairman of the Board as of early 2025. Bob Iger returned as CEO in November 2022 and initiated a multi-year restructuring. Josh D'Amaro, Chairman of Disney Experiences, was named the next CEO, reflecting the primacy of the parks and cruises division in the company's long-term strategy.
How does Disney monetize its intellectual property portfolio across the enterprise?
A single franchise — Star Wars, Marvel, or Disney Animation — generates revenue through theatrical box office, streaming-platform subscriptions (Disney+, Hulu), consumer product licensing, theme-park attractions, and cruise-line entertainment. This internal flywheel means a studio investment is also a parks investment and a merchandise investment, a structural feature distinct from studio-only competitors.
