Earlier this month, the company\u2019s earnings vastly\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2022\/11\/08\/disney-dis-earnings-q4-2022.html\">underperformed Wall Street\u2019s expectations<\/a>. Even its theme park business, which reported a surge in revenue, delivered less than analysts had projected.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Iger\u2019s return also comes as legacy media companies contend with a rapidly shifting landscape, as ad dollars dry up and consumers increasingly cut off their cable subscriptions in favor of streaming.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Iger will help the company\u2019s board develop a new successor, Disney said in a release.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Chapek was named chief executive in February 2020, succeeding Iger, who had previously said he wouldn\u2019t return to the role.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Shares of Disney have fallen about 41% so far this year, as of Friday\u2019s close. The stock hit a 52-week low Nov. 9.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Iger has signed on to work as CEO for two years, Disney said Sunday, \u201cwith a mandate from the Board to set the strategic direction for renewed growth and to work closely with the Board in developing a successor to lead the Company at the completion of his term.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The company said Chapek stepped down. Soon after Chapek took over in 2020, Covid-19 became a pandemic and forced the shutdown of Disney\u2019s theme parks and prevented it, for a time, from releasing <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">movies<\/a> in theaters. Nevertheless, the company\u2019s stock soared in 2021, before crashing down to earth in recent months.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cWe thank Bob Chapek for his service to Disney over his long career, including navigating the company through the unprecedented challenges of the pandemic,\u201d said Susan Arnold, Disney\u2019s board chair. She will remain in that role.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Chapek, whose contract as CEO\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2022\/06\/28\/disney-board-votes-to-extend-ceo-bob-chapeks-contract-by-three-years.html\">was extended earlier this year<\/a>, planned a hiring freeze, cost cuts and layoffs across the company, according to a memo CNBC obtained earlier this month. The internal memo came three days after the company\u2019s poor quarterly earnings report.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Iger, who held the CEO role for 15 years at Disney, had favored Chapek as his successor. The\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2022\/03\/20\/disney-ceo-chapek-iger-falling-out.html\">two ultimately had a falling out<\/a>, and their conflict cast a shadow over the company\u2019s future. Chapek\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2022\/08\/21\/disney-chapek-iger-disney-plus-price-decision.html\">distanced himself from Iger<\/a>\u00a0with a series of decisions, including his new approach to streaming prices for Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Iger is a widely respected and liked figure at Disney. He oversaw its deals to acquire Pixar, Lucasfilm and its \u201cStar Wars\u201d properties, and Marvel \u2014 all of which have become multibillion-dollar intellectual property behemoths.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Chapek, meanwhile, angered employees with his initial silence about the \u201cDon\u2019t Say Gay\u201d law in Florida, where the company\u2019s Walt Disney World resort is located. He then received blowback from Republican politicians, such as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, for opposing it. Earlier this month, CNBC reported that\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2022\/11\/02\/disney-ceo-bob-chapek-prepares-for-gop-to-become-majority-in-congress.html\">Chapek had been in touch with Republican leaders<\/a>\u00a0in preparation for the GOP taking over the House.<\/p>\n<p class=\"endmark\">Chapek also was criticized for his\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/08\/12\/disney-ceo-on-talent-compensation-after-scarlett-johansson-lawsuit.html\">handling of the controversy over Scarlett Johansson\u2019s pay<\/a>\u00a0for her work in the Marvel movie \u201cBlack Widow.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"expanded-byline article-expanded-byline\"><span class=\"byline-thumbnail byline-thumbnail--no-image expanded-byline__thumbnail\"><\/span><span class=\"byline-name expanded-byline__name ml9 ml0-m ml0-print pt1 pt4-m\">Alex Sherman, CNBC<\/span><span class=\"byline-social expanded-byline__social f2 mt2 mt4-m ml9 ml0-m dn-print\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"byline-bio expanded-byline__bio mt3 mt0-m ml9-m\">Alex Sherman covers <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a>, media and telecommunications for CNBC.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
