  • Quantity has diluted quality at Disney, CEO Bob Iger says.
  • "The Marvels," which underperformed at the box office, lacked supervision because of COVID, he said.
  • "I don't want to apologize for making sequels," he said.

Disney CEO Bob Iger delivered a candid critique of his company during an interview at The New York Times DealBook Summit on Wednesday.

"Quality needs attention to deliver quality, it doesn't happen by accident. And quantity, in our case, diluted quality, and Marvel has suffered greatly from that," Iger said.
