Disney Unveils 14 Legends to be Honored at D23 Fan Event
Disney recently revealed the prestigious 14 Legends of the House of Mouse who will be honored at the upcoming D23 Fan Event in August 2024.
Among the distinguished honorees are renowned personalities such as Miley Cyrus, known for her role in Hannah Montana, and Harrison Ford, famous for his iconic roles in Indiana Jones and Star Wars.
Another notable figure on the list is Angela Bassett, who made history by becoming the first performer to receive an Oscar nomination for a Marvel movie, specifically for her role in the acclaimed film “Black Panther, Wakanda Forever” released in 2022.
Bob Iger, the CEO of Disney, emphasized the significance of being named a Disney Legend, stating that it is the highest honor the company can bestow upon individuals who have left a lasting mark through their talent and achievements in Disney's history.
The 14 individuals selected this year have each made exceptional creative contributions across various aspects of Disney's realm, and their accomplishments will be celebrated at D23, described as the ultimate Disney fan event.
Scheduled to take place from August 9 to August 11, 2024, in Anaheim, California, Disney's annual fan extravaganza, D23, promises to be an exciting and memorable experience for fans and industry insiders alike.
Speculations have emerged suggesting that Prince Harry has reached out to Bob Iger once more, seeking VIP tickets for his wife to attend the event.
This move is believed to coincide with the launch of a new brand, with the couple aiming to leverage Hollywood connections to elevate their brand's visibility.
While securing attendance at high-profile events could potentially enhance the brand's reputation, not all avenues have been receptive to Meghan Markle's participation.
Prince Harry's connection to Bob Iger seems to be their sole opportunity to engage with Disney events, following Bob Iger's withdrawal of support for Harry's Invictus Games last year.
Consequently, attending a Disney event has become a challenging prospect for the royal couple.
Recent reports from a source named Desi Stars' Girls Fun Club have shed light on an unsettling incident involving Meghan Markle at the 55th NAACP Image Awards.
Singer Usher Raymond Forer allegedly made mocking remarks directed at Meghan during his acceptance speech for Outstanding Entertainer of the Year, causing a stir on social media.
Usher's unexpected comments appeared to allude to Meghan Markle's perceived detachment from the values championed by the NAACP, adding a layer of controversy to the event.
As Usher stepped onto the stage at the Dolby Theater, the audience anticipated a momentous occasion honoring his illustrious career.
Expressing gratitude to his supporters and inspirations, Usher took a surprising turn in his speech, hinting at a subtle reference aimed at Meghan Markle.
His mention of “Yacht Rock Royalty” in connection to Meghan sparked discussions about her perceived disconnect from the struggles highlighted by the NAACP in recent years.
At the same event, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made a public appearance to present the NAACP Archwell Digital Civil Rights Award to Dr. Sophia Noble, a respected scholar and advocate recognized for her contributions to critical internet inquiry.
Despite the controversy surrounding Usher's remarks, the event served as a platform to honor individuals dedicated to advancing social causes and promoting equality in the entertainment industry.
