Disney’s search for the next leader of the House of Mouse is heating up, as a deadline to name a successor to outgoing Disney CEO Bob Iger has been set, and new potential candidates are emerging.

Disney has reportedly set its sights on EA CEO Andrew Wilson to replace Bob Iger. Wilson is considered a front-runner for the job due to his 24-year tenure as CEO at EA. Bob Iger will step down in 2026 after previously coming out of retirement to lead Disney.

Disney's process to identify CEO Bob Iger's successor will officially include external candidates as well as four current executives.

Or, in the case of Disney boss Bob Iger, how he didn’t spend his money. According to regulatory filings ( via Puck News), Iger—a 2016 Hillary Clinton supporter, a 2020 Joe Biden donor, and a contributor to many of Kamala Harris’ past campaigns in California—did not donate any money to either candidate.

Disney is considering taking a look outside of the Magic Kingdom for Bob Iger’s successor, with Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson among external candidates being floated for the top job, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Disney is exploring fresh candidates in its search for a successor to Bob Iger, including some from outside its castle walls, as the board and its newly named chairman move to bring order to a closely watched succession process.
