Most people know that Feige have been enduring "several years of frustration" under the leadership of the stingy and controlling Perlmutter. The CEO is a very private person who never gives interviews while Feige likes to update the press and is more of a story guy. Perlmutter is more of a businessman and Marvel owes it to him why they survived their financial turmoil back in the 1990s. Meanwhile, Marvel owes Feige the creation and success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

A spokesperson from Disney told The Hollywood Reporter, "Marvel Studios is taking the next logical step in its integration with The Walt Disney Studios, joining Pixar and Lucasfilm in centralizing many of its film-related functions in Burbank, with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige and co-president Louis D'Esposito continuing to lead the Marvel Studios team reporting to Walt Disney Studios Chairman Alan Horn."

Feige was responsible for bringing in Spider-Man into "Captain America: Civil War" and bringing Marvel into Sony's Spider-Man's movies.

Marvel has a lot of movies in the pipeline all under Feige's belt namely "Captain America: Civil War" on May 6, 2016, "Doctor Strange" on Nov. 4, 2016, "Guardians of the Galaxy 2" on May 5, 2017, "Thor: Ragnarok" on July 28, 2017, "Black Panther" on Nov. 3, 2017, "Avengers: Infinity War Part 1" on May 4, 2018, "Captain Marvel" on July 6, 2018, "Inhumans" on Nov. 2, 2018, and "Avengers: Infinity War Part 2" on May 3, 2019.
