Thank the Disney / Marvel Gods!
One industry source says the Disney board had been divided over keeping Chapek in place for the past several months. His performance on the most recent earnings call earlier this month, according to this account, was the deciding factor. While Chapek alluded to the need for cost-savings during the call, it wasn’t until later that week that he outlined dramatic plans to cut costs, including a hiring freeze and likely layoffs.
Oh Lord no.If Apple finally decides to try and buy Disney, maybe Iger can help facilitate that transaction.

They wouldn't be. It would be the other way around. Not that I want that.Do not want Ted Lasso or Severance under the Disney Umbrella.

I didn't want anything from FX or even stuff like The Simpsons under the Disney Umbrella, even though besides the further shelling out of The Simpsons on Disney+, those products remain virtually unchanged.
Yet here we are.
I wish people would stop asking directors about Marvel. All it does is generate clickbait headlines. They’re obviously not going to be a fan of studio’s only producing big budget comic book movies
Quentin Tarantino Says Marvel Killed the Movie Star - Variety
I agree with you, but it would also be nice if directors (and actors and whoever else is asked) would stop spouting obvious bull**** in response to the stupid questions they shouldn't have been asked anyway.
The movie star was dead before Marvel Studios was even a proven success.
I wouldn't say that. Tom Cruise is still a movie star. Vin Diesel thinks he is, due to the success of the Fast and Furious Franchise. It can be debated that the Rock is one too.
As for the Tarantino comments, I wouldn't be at all surprised if SLJ agrees with him. If anyone knows Quentin quite well, it's SLJ.
Tom Cruise has been a movie star since the 80s. Various others from the 80s and 90s are still around, too, to varying levels of effect. But no one who's become famous this century has actually proven themselves capable being a genuine draw just as an actor, including Diesel and the Rock. Marvel Studios didn't do that. They didn't even exist when the problem started.
