Marvel Exec Tried to Block Black Panther, Captain Marvel Movies.

I read that and I find it quit interesting that Ike Perlmutter is being cast as the ultimate villain by attempting to practice some fiscal responsibility. If you look at how quickly production budgets along with actor salaries have burgeoned under Feige you'd have to at least give some thoughts to unsustainability. When Marvel initially negotiated a deal with (Merrill-Lynch?) for $575 Million, $200 Million dollar budgets were not in the formula. The Tv and Netflix sides of the business aren't given these huge budgets to use as their financial playground and it became hard to co-exist let alone compete with the film side.

The optics look good in that Marvel/Disney is sharing the wealth with the talent but it can't go on at this pace for too long. Eventually Ike will probably have a smile on his face when the financial growth rocket flattens out as everything does eventually. Marvel/Disney and investors can't realistically be automagically expecting +Billion dollar movies for most of the Phase 4 movies. Will they be profitable? Yes. Investors tend to want to see growth and other than that they see stagnation.
