Bob Chapek, who succeeded Iger in 2020, had stepped down from the position, according to Disney.
Sharing a statement, the board said Iger is “uniquely situated to lead the company through this pivotal period” and thanked Chapek for his service through the “unprecedented challenges of the pandemic”.
