Disney CEO Bob Chapek is facing a crisis of confidence in his leader­ship that is fueling an atypical level of turmoil at the top of the world’s largest entertainment company. Though Chapek’s current em­ployment contract, expiring next February, is expected to be renewed soon, according to sources, his tenure as CEO has been marked by upheaval since he was named to the job in February 2020. Some of the disruption has been far out of his control, such as a global pandemic. But Cha­pek’s own missteps reflect his tendency to keep counsel with a small group of senior executives rather than solicit wider opinions on key decisions.

There is a person who is known as the Disney Gay—as the name suggests, an identity offshoot of the more all-encompassing Disney Adult. Within the LGBTQ+ community, it can be common, if cruel, to mock the Disney Gay for what is perceived as a basic, childish, and normie obsession—at least within a group that is stereotypically supposed to be the arbiter of taste, coolness, and progressive art.

Disney’s tentpole service follows Hulu to broaden the scope and take on Netflix

In a first for Disney’s flagship direct-to-consumer streaming service, Disney Plus will launch an ad-supported subscription plan later this year. The ad-supported Disney Plus plan will be introduced beginning in the U.S. in late 2022, with plans to expand internationally in 2023, the media conglomerate announced Friday.

August of 2019 seems like a lifetime ago but it was then that audiences first heard that the new Disney+ streaming service would be home to a host of original television shows boasting their favorite Marvel characters. In front of an enthusiastic audience at the D23 Expo that year, alongside the likes of “WandaVision” and “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” it was announced that Disney+ would premiere “Moon Knight.”

“Obi-Wan Kenobi” has finally received a May premiere date at Disney Plus. And no, it’s not May the 4th.

The Book of Boba Fett’s second episode dragged the bounty hunter-turned crime lord further into the sands of Tatooine and the planet’s seedy underbelly. But while Boba Fett got his hands a little dirtier, die-hard Star Wars fans were treated to a few cameos from the series’ comics and even old deleted scenes.

Starting Monday, November 29th 2021 thru Tuesday November 30th 2021, Voyager will offer new customers an additional $15 in Bitcoin on top of their regular $25 Bitcoin sign-up reward, giving $40 total in Bitcoin just for joining the popular and high-reward crypto exchange. This makes their sign-up incentive one of the largest in the industry, and does not even take the 12% interest that customers earn on their crypto into account.

Sam Raimi, director of the original “Spider-Man” trilogy, returns to superhero cinema with this “Doctor Strange” sequel starring Cumberbatch once more in the title role. Rachel McAdams, Benedict Wong and Chiwetel Ejiofor will all reprise their roles from the original “Doctor Strange,” with Ejiofor’s character, Karl Mordo, fully shifting from one of Dr. Stephen Strange’s allies to one of his enemies. Young actor Xochitl Gomez (“The Baby-Sitters Club”) will play America Chavez, who eventually becomes the superhero Miss America — the first openly LGBTQ Latinx character to headline their own comics series.

Boba Fett has always been a bit of a peculiar character, mostly in the sense that he isn’t really one. First introduced on film in The Empire Strikes Back, the bounty hunter was taciturn and mysterious, inspired by Clint Eastwood’s famous Spaghetti Western character The Man with No Name. Boba Fett made a strong impression in the Star Wars sequel, though his popularity was as much (if not moreso) because his action figure had already been released two years prior: a character that was essentially a blank slate onscreen had already been defined in the minds of fans.

Disney channels went dark on Google's YouTube TV late Friday after the two companies failed to come to a distribution agreement. Why it matters: The blackout came ahead of the kickoff to college football bowl season. ESPN has the rights to air many of those games.
