After 30 years of Secret Wars, Disney lays off Marvel CEO Ike Perlmutter
. Disney claims she breached the contract working on the film. She alleges they gave permission and silenced her as an LGBTQ+ woman of color. Regardless, the headlines regarding VFX don’t seem to have had much to do with her firing. After all, when has a movie studio ever fired someone for undervaluing and exploiting below-the-line workers?
And while it’s tempting to say that Perlmutter was pushed out because he seems like an awful guy to work for, he was more likely fired for starting a proxy war with Bob Iger. Perlmutter reportedly wanted to install his friend Nelson Peltz on the Disney board. Per , Disney saw his attempt at pushing Peltz as an attempt to “overhaul the company’s board.” The overstepping was seemingly the final straw for Iger, who reportedly couldn’t stand Perlmutter. TheIger and Perlmutter have had a tense relationship since 2015, when Mr. Perlmutter’s quarrels with current Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige over budgets and movie slates grew so intense that Mr. Iger, then in his first stint as Disney’s CEO, intervened and removed Mr.
Perlmutter’s frugalness may have pulled the company from the brink of collapse, but his practices also degraded and devalued his empire, often at the expense of his employees and consumers. Frankly, it’s surpri sing that his reputation didn’t do more harm to Marvel’s brand; in fairness, that may be more praise for how effectively Iger and Feige guarded Marvel Studios against him as he was busy putting a hole in the VA from a table at Mar-a-Lago. Nevertheless, it’s certainly the end of an era for Marvel, one that few are likely to miss.
