Per the
Financial Times, Nelson Peltz has openly criticized the company and Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige in a new interview. Peltz, who holds a stake of around $3.5 billion, has attributed the declining success of Disney's Marvel movies to the "woke" strategy used for casting their characters. He suggested that the MCU has been putting out too many "losers" in recent years which might mean that it's time for a change in leadership.
"They say we know nothing about the movie business - we don’t claim we do - but I don’t think they do, with five big losers in a row," Peltz said. "They’ve lost first place in animation, they’ve lost first place in features. Maybe it’s time to change management in those divisions."
When pressed if that means that Kevin Feige should be fired, Peltz added, "I’m not ready to say that, but I question his record. People go to watch a movie or a show to be entertained. They don’t go to get a message.
