Disney taps Nike exec as SVP, global marketing of consumer products
Nike's global vice president and general manager of its Virtual Studios and '.Swoosh' brand, Ron Faris, has exited the sportswear giant after nine years. He has been tapped by Walt Disney Studios to lead the global marketing of its consumer products division. In his new role, senior vice president of global marketing for Disney Consumer Products, Faris will oversee the division's strategies across regional and global licensing teams, as well as the organisation's games, publishing and retail businesses. He has further been tasked with developing and executing immersive brand concepts and consumer experiences. His new position fittingly follows a long-term tenure at Nike, where he was responsible for modernising the brand's marketing and storytelling for young consumers through video game, creator and social platforms. Prior to his roles at Nike Virtual Studios and '.Swoosh', Faris had spent six years as global vice president, general manager of the brand's SNKRS App, a commerce platform that featured limited-edition product offerings. In a statement, Tasia Filippatos, president of Disney Consumer Products, to whom Faris will report, said it was this 'impressive track record combined with his passion in this space' that made Faris an 'ideal candidate to lead our marketing teams around the world as we explore new opportunities'. For Faris, meanwhile, it was 'Disney's unparalleled dedication to blending storytelling and innovation' that resonated with him 'both professionally and personally'. He added: 'With the company's vast library of iconic stories, characters and lore, I look forward to driving deeper cultural relevance and meeting these fans where they are in an ever-evolving consumer landscape.'

Wild Details Reprotedly Leak for AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY and SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY; Doctor Doom, Sentinels, and Savage Hulk!? — GeekTyrant
Marvel Studios is setting up for some massive swings in 2026, and if the latest reports are to be believed, things are going to get multiversal-level crazy. Details reportedly pulled from a Disney Consumer Products presentation in Las Vegas are spilling onto the Internet, giving us a tease at where Avengers: Doomsday and Spider-Man: Brand New Day are heading. And Doctor Doom, the X-Men, and even Savage Hulk are in the mix. According to Reddit user Pomojema_The_Dreamer, who also contributes to Star Wars News Net, the sizzle reel and concept art shown behind closed doors included some big reveals. Most notably? Avengers: Doomsday is said to kick off in Wakanda, with Shuri, Namor, and M'Baku showing off updated looks. But the crazy thing that was shown was that Doctor Doom is allegedly controlling the Sentinels, the mutant-hunting robots we saw standing outside the X-Mansion in earlier set photos. This sets up a major confrontation, with the X-Men, who are now in comic-accurate suits, and it sees Deadpool, Gambit, Shang-Chi, and the Invisible Woman all reportedly uniting to take them down. The reality being explored here seems to be Earth-10005, a mashup of the classic X-Men films, Deadpool & Wolverine , and the post-credits stinger from The Marvels . The idea of Doom wielding Sentinel tech has comic book precedent. The guy's no stranger to commanding killer robots, whether it's Doombots or something even nastier. Combining mutant-hunters with Latverian tech feels like a classic Marvel escalation, and it gives Avengers: Doomsday an interesting edge. On the Spider-Man side of things, Brand New Day concept art reportedly confirms Tarantula as one of the villains joining the fray. While several characters have taken the mantle, it looks like we're getting the original, Anton Miguel Rodriguez, who is a former revolutionary-turned-nationalist super-soldier. It's also said that the marketing campaign may position Savage Hulk as the movie's main villain. So, Spider-Man vs. Hulk! That's a very cool move it true! It'll be really interesting to see how that plays out! I hope this is the direction the story is going. Spider-Man: Brand New Day swings into theaters on July 31, 2026, while Avengers: Doomsday follows on December 18, 2026.

Make-a-Wish Kids Get Royal Treatment During First-Ever Disney Week of Wishes
Every year, on April 29, Disney partners with Make-A-Wish to celebrate World Wish Day–where they work to grant wishes for more than 165,000 children worldwide with critical illnesses. Whether it's creating space for a kid to meet their on-screen hero, or opening the door to a once-in-a-lifetime experience, World Wish Day is about making memories that inspire and give hope. This year, Disney took things up a notch by kicking off its first-ever Disney Week of Wishes. Between April 26–May 2, 2025, they shared stories of granting wishes through specially-designed experiences across the company. And we got a look at how some of the wish-granting designs came together. A big component of the week was the granting of Disney Princess wishes, where families were treated with immersive character experiences across the Disney parks and resorts. Some of these princess wish experiences included: immersive story-focused adventures princess breakfasts and boutique transformations baking sessions cruiseline experiences shopping sprees special character meet & greets and photo shoots And kids received their very own princess character costumes to wear during these experiences to make the magic even more real for them. Ariella Hendrix, Product Design Manager at Disney Consumer Products, works directly with the design company Disguise to create these costumes. She spoke with Parents about what went into making these princess wishes special for families this year. How long have you been designing costumes for Week of Wishes, and how does the experience align with what you envisioned? AH: I've been a Costume Designer at Disney Consumer Products for 12 years. I'm so excited that some of the costumes I helped develop, like Elsa & Rapunzel were requested by kids who wished for princess-themed experiences! It was so special to be a small part of developing these costumes, and that children around the world were able to immerse themselves in becoming their favorite characters. Can you speak a bit to the level of detail that goes into the design of the costumes, and how important it is for each one to be character-accurate? AH: The design process in licensed costume development is collaborative. We partner [with Disguise] in ensuring that the designs are authentic to the characters, while also finding meaningful ways to weave details of their stories into the costume designs and their artwork. It is also very important to ensure that the costumes are comfortable for all children. Is there a most-requested Disney Princess costume that you find among wish kids, and are they able to keep the costumes? AH: Costumes from Disney's Frozen are always some of our most popular costume requests, and that was certainly the case this World Wish Day. [And] Yes! The kids (and their siblings) get to keep any costumes and accessories they receive during the princess makeovers as well as any toys, books, and goodies they receive throughout the wish itself. This allows them to bring a piece of the magic home with them, making the wish even more unforgettable. One phase of the Disney Princess wish experience came via the Once Upon A Wish Party–where nearly 50 kids and their families were invited to Walt Disney World to take part in a two-day immersive storybook adventure. During this time, the kids are treated like royalty, as their families were given some inspiration designed to help them through their medical journeys. 4-year-old Lila Tenney was one of the 50 wish kids invited to the party this year. Here's a look at her family's experience: It's easy to get emotional over stories like these, watching families get to experience some joy amidst some challenging times. 'This means everything,' said Lila's dad. 'With this experience that Make-A-Wish and Disney allows us, it puts us at ease and gives us a moment to relax and enjoy.' When discussing what it takes to bring something like this to life for families, Hendrix highlights the attention to detail. "So much goes into making each wish as special as possible," she says. "While every wish is different, we're always putting the same attention to detail and level of care into every wish experience we grant. At Once Upon A Wish Party, each child's experience was tailored to their specific interests and included fun moments. No matter the wish, our products help create a truly unforgettable experience and lasting memories for the kids and their families." As Disney and Make-A-Wish continue their partnership with a yearly week-long focus of granting wishes, the expansion should provide even more opportunities to fill a family's day with magic. Stories like these should also serve as a reminder to create memorable experiences daily with family, no matter what you may be going through. 'Creating happiness for the children who need it most is an incredible privilege,' said Tasia Filippatos, President of Disney Consumer Products and Make-A-Wish International Board Member. 'Disney products are a special piece of the Disney wish experience that create lasting memories, spread hope and bring the magic home for wish kids and their families.' Hendrix seconds this notion with, 'Words can't describe how special it feels to know that the work I'm so passionate about is directly helping wish kids around the world. My dream is that everyone has a costume that they feel seen in. Knowing the costumes I design create a more fun and immersive experience for kids in need, seeing the smiles on their faces, that's exactly why I do what I do.' Read the original article on Parents
