Betting is available on who will replace Bob Iger as CEO of Disney by 2026
The role as Disney CEO is one of the biggest in worldwide media and bookmakers are offering odds on who will replace Bob Iger in the role before December 2026.
Iger has stepped down from the role previously back in 202 after announcing in February that year that he would leave as CEO after 15 years in the position with Bob Chapek replacing him.
Chapek though had a torrid time in charge with the COVID pandemic not helping things as well as legal issues around the release of Disney movie 'Black Widow' on Disney+.
This led to Iger stepping back into the role as CEO and he remains in that position for the foreseeable with Disney extending his contract until the end of 2026 back in July this year.

What the expert says..
Odds also given that Iger extends his contract once more
Although Bob Iger will be 75 when his latest contract as Disney CEO finishes, there are also odds being offered that he extends with Disney once more at the end of 2026.
Iger's time as CEO of Disney has been such a success for the company that he may continue to carry on, or it may be that Disney just can't find a better successor.
The latest betting odds for Iger to renew his contract past 2026 are 8/1 which suggests an 11% chance that he remains in the role past the end of 2026 and beyond.
