Iger may be hanging around Disney longer.

The Wall Street Journal reports that The Walt Disney Company may extend chief executive Robert Iger’s tenure if it completes a purchase of the entertainment assets of 21st Century Fox.

Here’s the thinking: Any deal for Fox’s assets likely wouldn’t close until late next year, at which point Disney would spend the next year integrating Fox. Mr. Iger had previously said he plans to step aside in July 2019, but making a C.E.O. transition so close to the completion of the deal would be difficult. According to The Journal:

“It’s unlikely Disney’s board would prioritize searching for a new CEO over the following year as they focus on closing what would be a transformative deal for their company.”

This would be the fifth time Disney has extended Mr. Iger’s contract.

What about James Murdoch? If the deal is completed, James Murdoch, who’s currently Fox’s C.E.O., could become a senior executive at Disney, with a portfolio that would likely include oversight of Sky and Star, The New York Times reported. Several news reports have said that James Murdoch could eventually succeed Bob Iger as Disney’s C.E.O., though they cautioned that there’s no formal agreement.
