He stated that the nation has been fiercely divided recently. Yet, Disney believes that, “The fact is that we have a tremendous opportunity now to bring this country back together and unite people. One thing we can all agree on is the power of Disney to unite us all.”

Chapek went on to say that Disney wanted to stand for “values that are universal”, like “decency” and “integrity”, while also making “content that is reflective of the rich diversity of the world that we live in.”

Disney+ has continued to garner more viewers, reaching more than 100 million subscribers around the world. When asked if the box office revenue increase and recent situations would affect Kathleen Kennedy’s position as president of Lucasfilm, Chapek stated that it wouldn’t. He continued to emphasize that he was “absolutely thrilled” with Kennedy’s performance.
