2025 followup: takeover bid fails,.....DISNEY stock continues to tank. Selloff results in short term buyback and cash infusion to benefit Florida parks,..... INVESTORS loose big time. Board continues woke / DEI agenda,....stock now at all time low. Disney forced to sell assets. Stock drops further. Peltz proved right and very, very glad he sold out in favorable "120" deal in 2024. Disney is a mom and pop stock, with board held majority stakeholders,.....board sells off, mom and pop,....go broke.
Ritwik Rakshit India people don't look like Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thailand, Mongolian, tibetan they look more like a middle east people that's why.
voιd ѕтar that's not the reason.. You're being Racist.. it's because.. The Star India Company consists of $15- 16 Billion assests itself.. which makes it roughly 1/3rd of the total bid which is 52.4 Billion
Perfect comment at 6:36 . Puts all the rumors about them Disney'fying all their properties. I knew from the moment I heard about this deal that Disney would be looking to setup a seperation between family friendly and mature content instead of shying away from it. They know that, esspecially with Fox out of the picture, there is money to be had there.
He really is thinking about streaming more than anything. Merging the two companies would and packaging them together for streaming would certainly be a lot cheaper than them giving us two separate streaming services.
LF Drumming mostly likely the defenders and all their separate shows will probably move to Hulu. That's why Netflix has been inversting tons of money in original content. Luckily they have stranger things but their going to need 1 or 2 more hits like that if all these shows are getting removed off their platform
Since they’re going after adult content next they should go after MGM studios and get all the rights to James Bond films. MGM is always claiming bankruptcy so just buy them and have one less studio competitor
Disney Studios itself likely won't, due to their family friendly image. It will likely be done by Marvel Studios itself, or another Disney arm more suited for R rated content. Disney lets Marvel Studios do whatever they want, so whichever studio does Deadpool they will likely let them do what they like.
I Want To See Both Disney And WWE Could Have A Crossover To Do The Collaboration To Work With Having Disney Characters Meet WWE Wrestlers In The Near Future I Want To See That
Not really. Why is he slowly dismantle the Empire. He built??? He"ll get a massive cheques yes. But ultimately he's just conceding to Disney. Rather then taking them on.
Fox through Star and its digital arm Hotstar is a really big deal in India from sports to the immensely popular soap operas they are market leaders across the spectrum.India is fast growing and in the process is fast digitising thus more and more people are consuming their content India could be a really big market for the merged company in the years to come probably as big as the USA if not bigger.
Disagree with me but I don't think Disney needs to do a origin story for the newly acquired x-men and fantastic four characters they should just integrate them into the MCU straight away I wouldn't complain if they did don't get me wrong I just don't think origin movies are needed like they did with spidey
Well they will reboot and recast the Xmen and F4. They don't need long drawn out origin stories, but they will have to explain how there are suddenly mutants everywhere.
Well, since Fox killed Logan, and screwed up the F4, I can see MARVEL rebooting it. I mean, yes, the X-Men has a lot of history in their movies, but we gotta see where they either pick up from Logan or just do a complete reboot. They DEFINITELY need to reboot the F4.
Hey what if they just keep the casts and some story but xavier had just been secretly taking in mutants and keeping them hidden? And thanos made a global threat that xavier thought "hey this really need our help now" so they came out of the shadows and reveal that mutants exist in the mcu all along? Just saying
So maybe Disney can buy wasteland somewhere and create an "Alienland". Xenomorph acid blood parades! Please stand and put your face in front of the egg pods!
this deal has ambiguity in it, because Disney already in India is under UTV umbrella and has its own offices, i think may be fox Top leadership couldn't find successors and were tired of or some other factor, their programs creative content in west were fine, they had such long ancient:) even set working from distribution to others.
Rupert ! Murdock is in reality the actor that played Seinfelds father. Also, he played the controversial owner of Bldg 7 in the WTC event want proof? wellaware1.com
The only reason the Disney company lasted as long as it did was because of Roy; plain and simple. Roy kept the businessmen in check and booted them when they got out of control. Every time Disney tried to stop making movies and only bought the rights to other stuff, he got a new CEO and the company was back on track (Miller, Eisner). The problem is, now that the Disneys are dead for good, there is nobody to stop Iger and the company is already in the toilet. He has let Lassiter ruin the parks and produces garbage movies aimed at helicopter moms. Their film company is in the toilet so he has been buying like crazy (star wars, marvel, fox) but the company has completely stopped producing. Just like the housing market collapse in 2007/2008, the stat sheets show huge profits when nothing is actually being produced. The company/parks will start to resemble Universal Studios in roughly 10 years or less. The only way to save the company temporarily is to put Eisner back in charge. At least he is producing/winning awards with Bojack Horseman and knows to stay away from Lassiter/Pixar........... #goodbyeDisney
Bob Iger is such an ice cold boss lol. He makes these world changing deals like he pours a bowl of cereal in the morning.
James Boyle HES AWESOME!!!
Bob Iger is fascinating

Bob the Builder.
The Difference lol
Bob the buyer
Bob the overspender
One of the best businessmen of our generation!
Steven Johnson OF ALL TIME!
For sure!
He wasted that money
He mentioned India separately from "Parts of Asia".. I am Proud
Ritwik Rakshit

Ritwik Rakshit
I'm not being racist but just saying from the look lol
Ritwik Rakshit star is huge in India....star sports 1,2,3and hd enough said .....
patrick fox I know dude.. I am an Indian
I'm so glad he extended his contract to 2021, Disney needs him.
Frank Castle Well Bob Iger is a good CEO
At least he’s more consistent with his plans than Eisner
I agree, accept that Iger never has any original ideas in the theme parks
Utkarsh Sarkar I think that Disney might try to make him their CEO a little longer
He's the Walt Disney of the 2010s

Are we going to see a good Fantastic 4 movie now
Furqan ul Haq yes sir :)
Furqan ul Haq for sure you'll see them join the avengers
Furqan ul Haq there's one it's called the Incredibles
Furqan ul Haq yeah a movie that os not a good ripoff
Furqan ul Haq Absolutely. Let there be no doubt.
Remember Diz is getting into the streaming biz and these properties will be a huge addition.
My biggest takeaway is that: this deal if succeed,
Anastasia will finally be a Disney Princess! Will there also be a Live Action Anastasia?
wildreams Wow Right
Anastasia bein’ a Disney Princess, yes. But an Anastasia live-action remake?!? Hecky to the no!
The best term they could come up with for submitting a bid for a company is "Getting topped"??
He's doing it all for Kingdom Hearts 4
Rahul hahahahahha. No
Lolol
Bob Iger is the best CEO Disney has ever had. I am so proud that they are buying Fox
Me, too.
@Jadon W͟S͟2007 TCS I don’t. I like that studio.
Does this mean Marvel Netflix shows are going to be moving to Hulu?
LF Drumming mostly likely the defenders and all their separate shows will probably move to Hulu. That's why Netflix has been inversting tons of money in original content. Luckily they have stranger things but their going to need 1 or 2 more hits like that if all these shows are getting removed off their platform
LF Drumming yeah and "it's time for the past to die"
Probably all the “R” rated content will go to Hulu and the family friendly stuff to Disney+
Pimpaggedon your spot on
X-MEN REBOOT!! WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
@M-Arkham -ill LOL, there none such thing as "Nooooooo".
Comcast is promoting its biggest rival.😂😂
Fantastic 4 and xmen in MCU finally its complete everyone knows fox don't have writers like Disney has.
Since they’re going after adult content next they should go after MGM studios and get all the rights to James Bond films. MGM is always claiming bankruptcy so just buy them and have one less studio competitor
mybetterfilms eventually Disney will buy everything
mybetterfilms I think they want to buy Sony to get Spider-Man back first
mybetterfilms They launched a lot of studios that distributed lots of adult content in the 80s that why Touchstone pictures was for
James bond film rights are independent of mgm.
Warner Brothers should buy the Bond rights. They already have a hand in Sherlock Holmes, Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter.
I love watching his interviews
Now the question Is Will Disney do a rated r deadpool movie
Diego Mendez They said yes
Disney Studios itself likely won't, due to their family friendly image. It will likely be done by Marvel Studios itself, or another Disney arm more suited for R rated content. Disney lets Marvel Studios do whatever they want, so whichever studio does Deadpool they will likely let them do what they like.
Disney said they will let Marvel do what Marvel wants to do...
Said yes but won't join mcu anysoon...
No plans changed for mcu phase 4 and next xmen movies for next few years
Bob is just razor-sharp in this interview.
He is incredible
Time to own more shares of Disney!
I Want To See Both Disney And WWE Could Have A Crossover To Do The Collaboration To Work With Having Disney Characters Meet WWE Wrestlers In The Near Future I Want To See That
disney better bring us the unaltered Star Wars trilogy since now they own all the films
What about the Emperor in ESB, the old one was horrible.
I really want a Old Republican movie
They should put out the originals and the 'special' editions. People will buy it. I'll buy copies of all six movies.
Finally X-men will be done right thanks to Kevin Fiege at Marvel Studios!!
Don’t let Comcast get Fox Bob!!
Murdoch are real winner here
Not really. Why is he slowly dismantle the Empire. He built??? He"ll get a massive cheques yes. But ultimately he's just conceding to Disney. Rather then taking them on.
Timin Son
*is the real winner
JONNOG88 well he's getting old so he probably wants to start selling so he doesn't has as much responsibilities and can relax
If my calc is right Rupurt will be getting half a billion in dividends a year - plus the stock price gains.
Fox through Star and its digital arm Hotstar is a really big deal in India from sports to the immensely popular soap operas they are market leaders across the spectrum.India is fast growing and in the process is fast digitising thus more and more people are consuming their content India could be a really big market for the merged company in the years to come probably as big as the USA if not bigger.
Kinda ironic, Bob went on CNBC? Why not promote on a in home brand ?
Max he was on GMA also
ABC?
Now i wanna see james manghold idk if thats how you spell it but i speak of the director of logan i want him to direct a MCU movie
Jackson Backus mansgold or mangold I think
If your a ceo of a company that disney doesn't own and you see Bob iger
Your double rich
Iger looks exhausted.
Longshot is an x-men character. X-men confirmed for mcu.
Bob, you destroyed the anchorman.
Please have some respect for David Faber he is a business journalism legend.
Like Columbo would have0 said: Things oughtta be done before they can make any fools out of it!

Dude marvel multiverse problem solved
Joel Wood that's insane risk for MCU though
So maybe Disney can buy wasteland somewhere and create an "Alienland". Xenomorph acid blood parades! Please stand and put your face in front of the egg pods!
Yeah Disney not only bought 20th Century Fox but they overspent on it as well
open bob
How hard has he been botox'd up? His face looks dead to me. Theres no emotion there whatsoever.
FFS take my ad blocker of for 5 minutes and I was forced to watch an entire 2 minute advert about Sameul L. Jackson talking about acting.
There goes original content from Fox
Hulu,Disney's does not serve so that the death of the mouse, you will see soon the two companies are very bad.
NOT ITS OFFICIAL
this deal has ambiguity in it, because Disney already in India is under UTV umbrella and has its own offices, i think may be fox Top leadership couldn't find successors and were tired of or some other factor, their programs creative content in west were fine, they had such long ancient:) even set working from distribution to others.
Star India?
disney says all the right things now but....slowly but surely there true colors will show.
☕ I wonder how he looks at the deal now. 5 years later ⁉️🤔
Bob Iger you're about to lose starwars. you're younger looking than i thought you would be.
Rupert ! Murdock is in reality the actor that played Seinfelds father. Also, he played the controversial owner of Bldg 7 in the WTC event want proof? wellaware1.com
This'll go real well with net neutrality 😊🙃
Rohjah Morrison not as good as the at&t and time Warner deal
Hulu might be coming to India!
RUclips:Media Lane-Blank Spaces
Mickey mouse is taking over the world
Sumner Redstone the worst businessman in our generation.
Vampire
Rupert should buy MGM from bankruptcy.
⬇️Oooooof
Im so provoked over Bob Igers respond to Bernie Sanders attack on Disney. Grow up Bob Iger! :(
Disney should not get fox
jack50 7 God of snake too late you jerk!
LOL, there none such thing as "Disney should not get fox".

Are you living under a rock? What an uninformed comment!
Maybe send an email to Abigial disney and ask her to take over the family buisness?
