Disney announced that it would name Bob Iger's successor in early 2026, extending the deadline to allow the board more time for candidate vetting.
James Gorman emphasized that appointing a new CEO is critical and the decision will reflect the ongoing progress of the Succession Planning Committee.
There is uncertainty surrounding who will take over Disney, including the potential for an unexpected external candidate, as market speculation grows.
Iger has delayed his departure multiple times in the past; currently, his direct reports are emerging as leading candidates for his replacement.
