Disney boss on Star Wars, Marvel & Scorsese

Image captionHe's arguably the most powerful man in Hollywood - the boss of The Avengers, The Lion King, Star Wars and Toy Story, not to mention Mickey Mouse.

Disney bought Marvel in 2009 and turned it into film's most lucrative franchise. There have been 10 Marvel films in the past three years, with eight more coming in the next three. Is there a danger of over-saturation? "I have said publicly that I think we made and released too many Star Wars films over a short period of time," Iger says."I have not said that they were disappointing in any way. I've not said that I'm disappointed in their performance. I just think that there's something so special about a Star Wars film, and less is more."There may have been too many Star Wars films, but there clearly haven't been enough Star Wars TV shows.

"Ouch!" is Iger's reply."Martin Scorsese is a great film-maker. I admire him immensely. He's made some great films. I would debate him on this subject. First of all, Marvel's making movies. They're movies. That's what Martin Scorsese makes. And they're good movies." He also lifts the lid on the lengths he went to before a Fox board meeting in London in 2018 in order to win the deal. He wanted to make a new bid to Murdoch in person without Comcast getting wind of his plan, but was worried the Disney private jet would be picked up by online plane trackers.

gerardorm1958 Disney thought they could churn out Star Wars every year as do other properties but are very different films; while was much wrong with the prequels the 3-year gap between them was just right but looks like Disney finally realised with next after TheRiseOfSkywalker not till 2022

Disney ruined Star Wars.

And now for some serious news.. 5G is here for Genocide.
