But when Francis uses the word \u2018despicable?\u2019 I reserve the word \u2018despicable\u2019 for someone who committed mass murder. These are movies! To whom is he talking? Is he talking to Kevin Feige, who runs Marvel? Or Taika Waititi who directs, or Ryan Coogler, who directs for us? Or Scarlett Johansson or Chad Boseman? I could name a number of people \u2013 Robert Downey Jr.?\u201d<\/em> <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clearly, Iger&#8217;s feeling a little hot-headed about the stance the two directors are taking. He also thinks that Coppola is overreaching in his condemnation of Marvel films with the word &#8216;despicable&#8217;. However, Iger calms down slightly and explains what he meant:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><em>\u201cI think I\u2019ve sounded a little more defensive than I wanted to be, because I don\u2019t really feel the need to defend what we\u2019re doing. We are in the business of \u2013 first of all, we\u2019re in the business of making money, we\u2019re a profitable business. At the same time at Disney, we try to balance that with telling great stories to the world and infusing them with great values and supporting a employee based of well over 200,000 people around the world with great care, and frankly, respect. So I just don\u2019t \u2013 I\u2019m puzzled by it.
