A New CEO and a Different Marvel Strategy (Ep. 12)
Episode 9
Tuesday, 3 March, 2026
In this episode, Jim Hill and Dan Graney zoom out and look at the chessboard. With Josh D’Amaro stepping into the CEO role and a noticeably restrained tone coming out of Disney leadership, the conversation isn’t about splashy announcements. It’s about positioning. From Avengers: Doomsday reshoots and Doctor Doom Oreo rollouts to Sony’s Spider-Man reset and Lucasfilm’s next theatrical move, this week felt less like checkmate and more like pieces quietly sliding into place. HIGHLIGHTS • A major executive profile previews Josh D’Amaro’s March 18 CEO transition and underscores how Parks and Experiences now drive the majority of Disney’s operating income. • Disney leadership publicly tempers expectations around Marvel while privately expressing confidence in Avengers: Doomsday as a potential 2026 event film. • Reports of three weeks of Doomsday reshoots in London raise the question: routine refinement or cause for concern? • A premium screen showdown looms as Doomsday is currently slated opposite Dune: Part Three, which holds IMAX exclusivity opening weekend. • Marvel lays groundwork for Doctor Doom across publishing and consumer products, including a coordinated comic relaunch and national Oreo promotion. • Sony Pictures signals a “full-scale reboot” of its live-action Spider-Man villain universe, pivoting back toward hero-centered storytelling and deeper collaboration with Kevin Feige. • A quick Star Wars temperature check, including internal reactions to The Mandalorian & Grogu marketing and early buzz around Star Wars: Starfighter.
