The third instalment of Superhero movie Deadpool & Wolverine (pictured), which was made at Pinewood Studios, is currently the second highest grossing movie of 2024, behind Inside Out 2, another Disney release.
Disney has spent around US$3.5bn on production in the UK over the last five years.
Koeppen, based in London, in Disney’s Hammersmith offices, told the Financial Times that there was a lot more growth ahead.
The budget will be spent on features, as well as TV for Disney + and National Geographic and other TV productions.
