Why was Victoria Alonso Fired From Marvel?

Victoria Alonso, a longtime Marvel producer, was reportedly fired due to a contract breach.

Victoria Alonso was one of eight producers of the Argentine historical drama, which was distributed by Amazon and was nominated for an Oscar for the best international feature.

According to sources, she breached her contract several times by taking on that role. After repeated warnings, the situation came to a head the week after the Academy Awards in March 2023, resulting in her dismissal.

Alonso’s attorney, Patty Glaser, released a statement after the initial publication of this story. Said the attorney: “The idea that Victoria was fired over a handful of press interviews relating to a personal passion project about human rights and democracy that was nominated for an Oscar and which she got Disney’s blessing to work on is absolutely ridiculous.”

“Victoria, a gay Latina who had the courage to criticize Disney, was silenced. Then she was terminated when she refused to do something she believed was reprehensible. Disney and Marvel made a really poor decision that will have serious consequences. There is a lot more to this story and Victoria will be telling it shortly in one form or another.”
