According to Bloomberg, Disney executives hope that current CEO Bob Iger will consider acquiring EA to transform Disney from a game licensee into a game giant that can develop first-party games, but Bob Iger has not made a clear position.
EA has cooperated with Disney to produce a number of games, such as the "Star Wars Jedi" series, as well as Marvel IP games that are still under development, including "Iron Man" and "Black Panther". Obviously, if Disney wants to transform, acquiring EA is the best option. A very suitable candidate.
In May 2022, there was news that EA was seeking acquisitions, especially after Microsoft announced its acquisition of Activision Blizzard. EA also held negotiations with Disney, Apple, Amazon and other companies. However, at the 2022 financial report meeting, EA CEO Andrew Wilson denied rumors that EA was seeking to be acquired. He believed that EA's position in the industry is still very strong, but if being acquired is beneficial to the company, he is willing to accept this possibility.
