Behind the red carpet movie premieres and new thrill-inducing rides for fans of its amusement parks, there is a quiet search underway to find the successor to Bob Iger, the face of Disney for most of the past two decades.

Now, Disney and Pixar CEO Bob Iger has confirmed a follow-up to Coco is officially on the way – although fans will have to wait until 2029 to see it. "While the film is just in the initial stages, we know it will be full of humour, heart and adventure," Iger said during The Walt Disney Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
