Amid an activist investor fight with Nelson Peltz and his Trian fund, the Bob Iger-led Disney formally rejected nominations that Peltz offered for the board of directors and put forward its own slate.
Disney’s board presented these nominees: Mary T. Barra, Safra A. Catz, Amy L. Chang, D. Jeremy Darroch, Carolyn N. Everson, Michael B.G. Froman, James P. Gorman, Robert A. Iger, Maria Elena Lagomasino, Calvin R. McDonald, Mark G. Parker and Derica W. Rice.
“The nominees reflect Disney’s ongoing commitment to a strong Board focused on the long-term performance of the company, strategic growth initiatives, the succession planning process, and increasing shareholder value,” the company stated.
The nominees came in the company’s preliminary proxy statement, which also had some background on Trian’s board crusade, and revealed executive pay for Iger and other top Disney executives.

On the morning of June 23, just hours before Thor: Love and Thunder’s world premiere at Hollywood’s El Capitan Theatre, Walt Disney Co. senior publicist Marshall Weinbaum tweeted a polite request for discretion to the first audience to take in Taika Waititi’s new Marvel Studios effort.
“Let’s please (please, please) be respectful in our tweets so fans can equally discover the movie themselves when it opens next month!” Then, like Thor, Weinbaum dropped the hammer. “As a reminder, I don’t work with outlets who post spoilers and leaks.”
While the not-so-veiled threat was aimed at the Hollywood press and Twitterati, Weinbaum’s post signaled the tough stance some studios are taking to protect content. Ever since word of mouth migrated from water coolers and cineplex sidewalks to social media platforms, insiders have been forced to grapple with a foe...

For fans of Taika Waititi’s take on Thor in Thor: Ragnarok, the premiere of the writer-director’s latest MCU go-round, Thor: Love And Thunder, has been a long time coming. But it seems there may be yet more to come. At the Hollywood premiere on Thursday, its star, Chris Hemsworth said he hopes to continue the role for more films, especially if he can carry on working with Waititi.
“I’ll do it until someone says get off the stage. I love it,” he told Deadline.
Thor is the only MCU character to have four films focused on him. However, executive producer Brian Chapek said somewhat cryptically, “Well I would say he’s the only person so far to get four movies. That’s not necessarily a hint, but it’s not a restriction either.”
Hemsworth’s explanation for the fans’ continuing love for the character was, “There’s an adolescent quality to him,...

This article contains Black Widow spoilers.
Eric Pearson knows a thing or two about the Marvel Universe. A self-professed comic book nerd, the screenwriter penned the Son of Odin’s third feature film, Thor: Ragnarok. His most recent gig? Another high profile MCU project, Black Widow.
The spy-action thriller takes a deep dive into Natasha Romanoff’s [Scarlett Johansson] formative years, fills in the blanks over her whereabouts between Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War and introduces her missing “sister,” Yelena Belova [Florence Pugh]. After reuniting with their “faux parents” Alexei/Red Guardian [David Harbour] and Melina [Rachel Weisz], the siblings become determined to put an end to Dreykov [Ray Winstone], his super-powered goon Taskmaster [Olga Kurylenko], and the brainwashing Black Widow program.

Welcome to this week’s “Just for Variety.”
Get ready for more LGBTQ+ representation in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. So says Marvel Studio’s executive vice president of film production Victoria Alonso.
Just days after it was revealed that Loki is fluid on his Disney Plus spinoff series, I asked Alonso if that was a sign of queer things to come. “It takes time, we have so many stories that we can tell,” Alonso said at the “Black Widow” fan premiere in Hollywood, adding, “We will empower those that are. We’re not changing anything. We’re just showing the world who these people are, who these characters are…There’s a lot that we have coming up that I think will be representative of the world of today. We’re not going to nail it in the first movie or the second movie or third movie, or the first show or second show,...
