NoScans: Disney fires Marvel Chairman Ike Perlmutter after 25 years

Interesting news from AV Club (and many other sources

From the article:

Perlmutter will likely be remembered both as someone who changed Marvel forever and, ultimately, a large liability for the increasingly criticized studio. He withstood numerous controversies during his tenure, including telling an employee he “had a bullet with her name on it” and secretly advising Trump’s Veteran’s Affairs from Mar-a-Lago. He is also responsible for one of the most lucrative sales in Hollywood history.

While he may not be as well-known as Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige or Disney’s Bob Iger, Perlmutter’s history with Marvel cannot be overstated. Along with Avi Arad, Perlmutter acquired Marvel in the 1990s when the company filed for bankruptcy. The pair was in the toy business, running the appropriately-named ToyBiz, which made action figures for the comics publisher. However, he was not always respectful to his product or consumers. For better or worse, the now-ousted CEO is responsible for selling Marvel to Disney for $4 billion in 2008. In the mid-10s, he reportedly canceled seminal comic-book titles, Fantastic Four and X-Men, because the company didn’t own the movie rights and didn’t want to advertise Fox’s film series

Suspiciously enough, while the heads of Pixar and LucasFilm appear on Disney’s website, Perlmutter did not, which signals how much Disney valued that relationship. Cozy with former President Trump, Perlmutter is one of the “Mar-a-Lago Crowd,” a shadowy group of three who advised the Department of Foreign Affairs, a famously well-run organization that flourished under Trump and, per ProPublica, tried to convince the VA to sell veterans’ medical records.

But don’t worry—Perlmutter also faced allegations of sexism and racism. This is the guy who, in response to Sony developing a female superhero movie in the Spider-Man universe, sent emails about “Female Movies,” like Electra and Catwoman, as reasons not to. Moreover, a 2012 Financial Times profile alleges that Perlmutter argued for replacing Terrence Howard with Don Cheadle for Iron Man 2 because Cheadle was cheaper, as well as for more racist, more nauseating reasons.

Well, there's a lot to unpack THERE
