One person who works at Disney traces Perlmutter's most recent loss of territory back to a period leading up to the 2015 Marvel Studios split when he began to side with executive Alan Fine, a longtime lieutenant of his, over Feige. Fine was a member of Perlmutter's "creative committee," which provided input on Marvel films and was considered responsible for several projects being delayed. [...] The creative committee was eventually disbanded, and Fine is no longer with Marvel.
