Ike Perlmutter really is a piece of s***

Bob Iger and Kevin Feige just openly talked about the fact that Perlmutter was openly against diversity, and tried to keep Captain Marvel and Black Panther from being made. The interview f***ing buries a guy who still works for their company.

When THR asked Feige if Perlmutter’s views on diversity helped spur the change, Feige was fairly open in his brief response.

"That's part of it,” Feige said. “There's a lot of sides to the story. You can pick up Bob Iger's book 'The Ride of a Lifetime' to learn more, I highly recommend it, but it made sense at that time. We had made ten movies or more that managerially, there was another way to go."

"Kevin is one of the most talented film executives in the business, but my sense was that the strained relationship with New York was threatening his continued success,” Iger wrote, according to Variety. “I knew I had to intervene, and so in May 2015, I made the decision to split Marvel’s movie-making unit off from the rest of Marvel and bring it under Alan Horn and the Walt Disney Studios. Kevin would now report directly to Alan, and would benefit from his experience, and the tensions that had built up between him and the New York office would be alleviated."

“We had a chance to make a great movie and to showcase an underrepresented segment of America, and those goals were not mutually exclusive,” Iger wrote. “I called Ike and told him to tell his team to stop putting up roadblocks and ordered that we put both ‘Black Panther’ and ‘Captain Marvel’ into production.”
