"Disney Condemns Peltz's Comments on Casting in Marvel Films"

Disney criticized activist investor Nelson Peltz's remarks about the casting of "Black Panther" and "The Marvels," stating that his comments are evidence that he shouldn't be on Disney's board. Peltz, who is vying for a board seat, criticized Disney for focusing too much on delivering a message and not enough on quality storytelling, specifically questioning the need for all-female and all-Black casts in Marvel films. Disney defended its creative direction and diversity efforts, while the board battle continues ahead of the annual meeting on April 3.
