EA CEO Andrew Wilson in running to be Disney CEO succeeding Bob Iger | WSJ


Disney is reportedly considering Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson as a successor to Disney CEO Bob Iger, the Wall Street Journal said.

There were rumors floated in the past year that Disney wanted going to buy EA, particularly when the partnership on Star Wars games was going really well. Running a Disney requires knowledge of movies, merchandise, theme parks, TV, subscriptions, sports, cruise lines, games and more. I’m not sure who else is in the mix (there may be media types who make more sense), but Andrew would eliminate the concern about another video game failure by Disney.
