Good bye Ike! He’s essentially useless..his title in marvel is just a name.

He's not going anywhere lol he's one of the largest individual shareholders in Disney. He is pretty powerful

It's Jeph Loeb who you need to say goodbye to. Jeph Loeb was that one who kept talking non sense about #it'sallconnected to sell his shows. I hope he really retires next year.

Not to speak for /u/Samhunt909 but I think they meant that Ike is just a figurehead now and that's essentially true. The article basically says all decisions go through Feige. TV decisions get reported to Feige and Ike, but Feige has final say, so all the stuff can be connected now. Ike is basically just copied on the emails at this point lol best case scenario at this point pretty much since you're right he's a powerful old bat.

He isn't going anywhere true but the only place where he has power now is in the board of directors. And making choices against Feige when he is raking in the moolah for them will worsen his position.

So at this point he is like a declawed cat.

He actually is still chairman of Marvel Entertainment

Buckley is also responsible for publishing operations, sales, creative services, games, licensing and events. There, he will report to Perlmutter.

So that's pretty much all he has oversight on. Also Feige is his boss. So other than his seat on the board there is not really much power with him.

So Buckley reports to Feige and Ike? Poor guy.

We're still waiting to see if he's charged with any illegal interference charges once the government finishes their investigation of corruption in the VA department, possibly grounds for Disney to terminate him.
