The controversies and new changes at the theme parks led to a petition calling for the firing of the Disney CEO. The petition has over 110,000 signatures and argues that Chapek has prioritized profits over people.

Outside of the petition, some have also pushed for Iger to return to lead Disney if Chapek is fired.

“Well, that’s ridiculous. I was CEO for a long time. You can’t go home again. I’m gone,” Iger told the New York Times.

Iger was recently named to the board for Genies, a metaverse company.

The new revelations on Chapek potentially pushing Iger out of Disney earlier than expected and away from the Board of Directors could lead to additional calls for Chapek to be shown the door.

Shares of Disney are up 2.9% since Feb. 25, 2020, the day Chapek took the helm of the company.
