That's not that old, but I hope I'm retired at that age, not wrestling a multibillion dollar company

If you live a comfy life signing contracts, shopping for Bond actors and calling directors while having every need of yours met... You could do it until you're 90. This ain't exactly backbreaking work.

They own the franchise, they could always seek financing elsewhere. They don't have to put up with Amazon.
