Walt Disney Co. terminated the employment of Ike Perlmutter, the chairman of its Marvel Entertainment unit, as part of a broader cost-cutting effort.

The executive was let go along with others in the unit, which handled comic-book sales and related consumers products, according to the New York Times, which reported on the changes earlier Wednesday.
