Bob Iger reasserts control over Disney in wake of the coronavirus

Iger abruptly stepped down as CEO and into the role of executive chairman on Feb. 25, with the head of the parks and cruise business Bob Chapek, taking over, effective immediately. But the coronavirus crisis has been really hammering Disney, which is losing as much as $30 million a day. So Iger has taken control of Disney and is preparing the company for a post-coronavirus future.
