Disney has finally named Josh D’Amaro as its next CEO, ending years of guessing about who would replace Bob Iger.

Marvel is currently finishing up work on Avengers: Doomsday, directed by Joe and Anthony Russo. The film is scheduled for release this December, and a follow-up movie, Avengers: Secret Wars, is planned for 2027.

I’ll have to give it some thought!
