This wasn't the only time Perlmutter was caught making controversial statements. When Don Cheadle replaced Terrence Howard in Iron Man 2, the CEO said nobody would notice because ... ugh ... black people "look the same." So once again, it's easy to see why it took so long for Marvel to make a movie led by a black superhero. Fortunately, in 2015, there was a major reorganization inside Marvel. Disney changed Perlmutter's from CEO to Chairman of Marvel Entertainment. More importantly, while Perlmutter is still in charge of the company's publications and TV shows, producer Kevin Feige was given full control of Marvel Studios (the filmmaking branch of the company). And when you look at how amazing Phase 3 has been, it's easy to see how Perlmutter was both offending fans and holding the MCU back.
