The Marvel executive became a significant Disney shareholder when the comic book giant was acquired by the company in 2010.

John Carter was released worldwide earlier this year, costing Disney some $200 million based on box office performance, budget and marketing costs. Other films from Ross&amp;#039;s tenure still to be released at Disney include Frankenweenie and The Lone Ranger.
