"Disney Investor Criticizes 'Woke' Marvel Films and Questions Kevin Feige's Record"
Activist investor Nelson Peltz criticizes Disney's "woke" film strategy, questioning the leadership of Marvel chief Kevin Feige and the larger movie strategy under Disney CEO Bob Iger, particularly in relation to Black Panther and The Marvels. Peltz's comments echo similar sentiments from former Marvel Entertainment chairman Ike Perlmutter, a friend and supporter of Peltz's proxy fight. Disney stands by its decision to diversify its slate of Marvel movies and defends Feige, while Peltz's Trian Partners receives support from influential advisory firm Institutional Shareholder Services in the lead up to the April 3 board meeting.
