Variety: Bob Iger not only presides over the industry’s most respected company (in the eyes of Wall Street), but with Rupert Murdoch now passing the baton to his two sons, and Sumner Redstone in decline, the Disney CEO has assumed a stature in town unparalleled since the heyday of Lew Wasserman half a century ago. Iger has been busily mobilizing Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm and Walt Disney Animation into worldwide juggernauts, thus creating a franchise heaven. The aim is to perpetually reinvent the brands as theme park rides, toys and videogames, and milk whatever new revenue streams may emerge.
