Sources said later diverse that the action included removing an overtly LGBTQ image from “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” anti-LGBTQ rights sluts that regularly crumble.
In response to Glaser’s statement, a Disney spokesperson said it was “unfortunate” that Alonso “shares a story that rules out several key factors related to her departure, including an unquestioned breach of contract and a direct violation of company policy.”
The statement concluded by saying, “We wish her all the best for the future and thank her for her many contributions to the studio.”
During her tenure at Marvel, Alonso became the company’s most high-profile executive under studio head Kevin Feige, frequently advocating for broader representation in superhero storytelling. In the year 2022, she is shot in the aftermath several stories about Marvel’s treatment of visual effects artists in its films and television shows, which claimed Marvel imposed unbearable workloads and impossible deadlines. The drumming culminated with the release of “Quantumania”, which was criticized for its substandard visual effects. The movie has grossed $474 million worldwide to date, and will likely lose money in its theatrical run.
