Until 2015, the CEO of Marvel Studios was Ike Perlmutter, who was later a major Trump donor and a Trump advisor who was spotted at both Mar-a-Lago and the White House. Until 2015, Kevin Feige had to answer to Perlmutter and couldn't do anything that he forbade, as Perlmutter held the power of the purse at Marvel Studios.

In 2015,, Kevin Feige had Bob Iger remove Perlmutter from his place of authority, keeping him in only a nominal position at Marvel with almost no power. This integrated Marvel Studios directly into the Disney command structure (it had been under Perlmutter's separate command before). Since then, Feige has answered directly to Disney's Alan Horn. In 2020, Perlmutter was fired from even his remaining nominal position, possibly because of how his Trump donations became heavily publicized around that time.

Both Feige and Iger have admitted that Perlmutter's opposition to their plans to add "diversity" to the Marvel Cinematic Universe were part of the reason that they decided to get rid of him. Almost directly after Perlmutter's authority was taken away in 2015, wokeness started to pop up in multiple MCU movies and has now completely taken over the MCU.
