 Disney BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Disney had quite a week with a mix of behind-the-scenes drama, headlines worth watching, and those business moves that fans love to gossip about. According to MickeyBlog, the biggest buzz has been about Scarlett Johansson’s continued return to the Disney fold. Just a few years ago, her relationship with the company seemed permanently soured after then-CEO Bob Chapek famously called her selfish during the Black Widow pandemic debacle. Insiders note Johansson received what was widely speculated to be an eight-figure settlement, and now, in a striking reversal, she’s reportedly in talks to play Mother Gothel in the live-action Tangled adaptation, though nothing is officially signed and the Tower of Terror movie remains stuck in development limbo. The Tangled news has set social media alight, with every superfan weighing in, but still remains theoretical for now.

On the corporate front, Disney’s annual ritual of October price increases is in full swing. Disneyland raised ticket and Magic Key prices across most tiers according to Chip and Co, with the highest entry level now a whopping $224 on peak days, and top-tier annual passes up $150 from last year. Park Hopper add-ons will cost you an extra $70 to $90, but if you’re looking for a bargain, the lowest-tier single day remains unchanged at $104. The consensus from MickeyBlog and social media is mixed, with many fans bracing for higher costs and recommending September as the best time for visiting before the annual hikes.

In business news, Variety reports Disney is focusing major resources on streaming, especially with plans to integrate Disney Plus further with Hulu and a renewed push for content after the success of Lilo and Stitch, which became the top Hollywood release of the year so far. CEO Bob Iger faces pressure to counter Netflix and Amazon while also fending off Paramount Skydance’s aggressive Paramount Plus expansion, but the conversation online is dominated by speculation over Iger’s eventual successor, with MickeyBlog highlighting the unique leadership challenges ahead.

Park operations are also front and center this week, with WDW Magazine and DisneyTouristBlog detailing both refurbishments and closures in progress. In Animal Kingdom, It’s Tough to Be a Bug has closed permanently, with Zootopia: Better Zoogether set to open November 7. Dinoland USA is closing in phases to make way for the new Tropical Americas land and Indiana Jones attraction, which will debut in 2027. Over in Hollywood Studios, Animation Courtyard has shuttered for reimagining, while Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster is prepping for a major Muppets retheme, scheduled for 2026.

On the merchandise front, Disney Springs unleashed a flood of new products with the 15th Anniversary Tangled merch, festive Christmas ornaments, character varsity jackets, and a highly hyped Star Wars Lego set that’s already viral on YouTube according to WDW News Today.

While rumors churn about Sigourney Weaver joining upcoming Disney projects, those remain speculation. Confirmed business activities point to Disney’s continued focus on strengthening its streaming and theme park businesses while testing the waters for new live-action remakes, always keeping fans, investors, and Hollywood guessing with every development.
