[QUOTE="Admin, post: 65460, member: 1"] Entertainment empire Disney needs a new CEO, and a new report suggests that a familiar face from the world of games could be in the running. Andrew Wilson, the always impeccably dressed CEO of EA, is reportedly being considered for Disney's top job. It's a big move in the entertainment world, with potential ramifications for fans of Pixar and [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/upcoming-new-next-marvel-movies-2024-tv-shows-release-dates']Marvel[/URL] as well as [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/every-ea-electronic-arts-game']The Sims, Battlefield, and Dragon Age[/URL]. Iger's current contract runs until 2026, so it could be a while before anyone actually needs to get new business cards printed. IGN has reached out to EA for a comment on the story. The report came from [URL='https://www.wsj.com/business/media/disney-explores-wider-field-of-candidates-to-succeed-iger-d1876792'][U]The Wall Street Journal[/U][/URL], which added that Wilson is up against at least two other external candidates for the replacement of current CEO Bob Iger. Iger previously retired in 2020, but he barely had time to take up fishing before he returning in 2022 after his successor, Bob Chapek, was pushed out of the role. As for Wilson, he's notched up over 24 years with EA, with 11 of those as CEO. In the latest EA earnings call, Wilson revealed [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/ea-ceo-suggests-company-isnt-interested-in-doing-an-apex-legends-2'][U]Apex Legends likely wouldn't be getting a sequel[/U][/URL], and that in his eyes, Bioware has [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/ea-boss-says-bioware-has-returned-to-its-strengths-with-dragon-age-predicts-breakout-potential-thanks-in-part-to-limited-competition'][U]returned to its strengths with Dragon Age[/U][/URL].
