Reclusive Marvel CEO Ike Perlmutter Has Finally Been Caught On Camera...Alongside Donald Trump
A controversial figure who has apparently made an enemy of Marvel President Kevin Feige, Marvel CEO Isaac Perlmutter's face has finally been revealed to the public after a meeting with Donald Trump.
Marvel Entertainment CEO Ike Perlmutter is a very interesting character. With a net worth of $3.9 billion, the reclusive billionaire has rarely been spotted in public, and not so much as a single photograph of him can be found in either Getty Images or the Associated Press. Well, that's all changed thanks to The Hollywood Reporter after he was spotted during a visit with Donald Trump today.
It's a well-known fact that Perlmutter is a big Trump supporter and that he made some pretty big donations during the reality TV star's bid to become President (which, as you know, was a success).
So, why should you care about this guy? Well, as you may recall, he's proved to be a very divisive figure over the years due to the way he runs Marvel. In the past, we've heard that he's the one responsible for the way the Fantastic Four and X-Men have been treated in the comic books, while Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige reportedly got so fed up with his cost-cutting measures that he went directly to Disney and requested that he now report to them, thereby making the studio a separate entity.
It's also been said that Perlmutter didn't think anyone would notice when War Machine was recast for Iron Man 2 due to the hero being African American, while he may also be to blame for the lack of Black Widow merchandise. So, he's an "interesting" character, but one we can now finally put a face to...
