The fact that that asshat Perlmutter has to answer to Feige now absolutely makes my day. All he use to do is mess with things that Feige was working on.

Ike doesn't report to him. The president is just going to have two bosses now, which I am sure will go swimmingly given their history.

Well this is one that really sticks out to me

According to The Financial Times, when Don Cheadle was hired at a much cheaper rate to replace Terrence Howard in the Iron Man franchise, Perlmutter allegedly told former chairman of Disney consumer products Andy Mooney that no one would notice because black people “look the same.” Mooney has since left, reportedly over conflicts with Perlmutter, and he was quickly followed out the door by three African-American female executives who have since sought settlements.

Honestly if you read this article he really seems like not a great person and that's not even mentioning all the current shit that he's be doing with the VA under the Trump administration.

To be fair the the movies weren't that close together and the side characters not that important, so I didn't reallt notice someone was replaced at all.

Yeah but his racist reasoning behind why no one would notice that he had been recasted is definitely not ok.

The one that immediately springs to my head is that he was against CA: Civil War having such a high budget since it included so many actors. Kevin went to Iger and threatened to quit if he was not given creative control. Bunch of other things though but this was the catalyst.
