The Walt Disney Company has laid off Isaac "Ike" Perlmutter, the chairman of Marvel Entertainment after 30 years with the company. Perlmutter has had a controversial run at Disney, running into conflict with Marvel Studios executive Kevin Feige that resulted in the Mouse House restructuring the company.

As reported by The New York Times, Perlmutter has been laid off from his Marvel role at Disney, where he oversaw Marvel Entertainment, a division separate from Marvel Studios that dealt with consumer products.

Lol! 'Lay's off' an 80 year old Billionaire. I think he'll be OK!:)

Best news ever. What will happen to comics and games now? Let me guess, Feige will oversee games and compete with DC and make games that are set in the MCU?

He opposed Captain Marvel, the biggest first weekend for a solo Super hero movie ever until Spiderman No Way Home. How lost he was!

Good, let the old bastard rot alone

Perlmutter? Isn’t he and Kevin the ones behind Phase 1-3 success before the press spin history to make it loook like Kevin is solely responsible for everything that was good about those phases DororoHawk

Great news!

I thought he was fired long ago when Kevin Feige was promoted and given control over everything Marvel related 😳

He was still with the company?
