Disney Almost Got Bond? And Apple?! Wild.
- Bob Iger’s big plans for Disney (and Bond!)
- Why Disney didn’t buy Twitter
- Surprising talks with Apple
You won’t believe the bombshells Bob Iger just dropped in his exit interview. Seriously, grab a chai. We just heard he tried to snag the legendary James Bond franchise for Disney!
Imagine 007 in the House of Mouse. What a vibe! That sleek, martini-shaking aesthetic merging with Mickey? It’s a wild thought. This was during a huge spending spree, remember? Disney was busy adding Pixar, then Marvel, and even “Star Wars” to its family. Big moves, right?
But Bond was on the list. Right after Pixar, which was apparently priority number one. We’re talking serious ambition here. It makes you wonder what kind of Disney-fied gadgets Q would come up with.
And that’s not all. Get this: Disney was literally HOURS away from buying Twitter. Hours! Think about that for a second. The deal was almost done, then… poof. They walked away. Can you even imagine how different the internet might look if Disney owned Twitter? Wild. It’s almost as surprising as Rajinikanth having no money for a cab!
Wait, there’s more. We also learned Iger had talks with Apple about a merger. Apple! Disney and Apple as one giant company? Whoa. This was back when Steve Jobs was still around. What a powerhouse that would have been. Talk about big moves in the industry!
This news is making our heads spin faster than a World Cup match highlight reel. While everyone’s focused on Giannis going to Miami or what Messi’s doing today, Iger just dropped these bombs. Phew.
Our Take
Honestly, we’re a bit shook. Bob Iger clearly had a vision, and it was *huge*. Missing out on Bond feels like a missed opportunity for some seriously cool crossovers. But walking away from Twitter? Probably a good call in hindsight, especially given how things played out there. And Apple? That would have been a game-changer for sure. It just shows how close big companies come to completely changing their future. Fascinating.
