The entertainment giant has been under pressure as viewers move away from cable TV subscriptions in favour of streaming platforms."As our industry transforms at a rapid pace, we continue to evaluate ways to efficiently manage our businesses while fuelling the state-of-the-art creativity and innovation that consumers value and expect from Disney," a spokesperson told the BBC.

The latest job cuts follow major layoffs announced in 2023, whenlet go as part of a drive by chief executive Bob Iger to save $5.5bn (£4.1bn).The cuts will impact multiple teams including marketing departments for its film and television units.

Workers in Disney's casting and development and corporate finance departments will also be affected."We have been surgical in our approach to minimise the number of impacted employees," said a spokesperson. The company also said that no teams will be closed down entirely.

The California-based firm employs 233,000 workers, with just over 60,000 of those based outside the US.

Disney owns a host of companies across the entertainment industry including Marvel, Hulu and ESPN."To have such a place on the streets of our capital providing the platform to give our world-class film-makers and storytellers the lift-off they need, and continue to ask the big questions of ourselves through cinema, is exciting and vital."

Fundraising is also continuing for some remaining elements of the project.Andrew Simpson, executive director of Filmhouse, said: "The love for Filmhouse never went away, it was just waiting to be reignited.
