Marvel Studios EP Victoria Alonso Departs

Quote:
Victoria Alonso, the longtime and high-profile Marvel Studios executive whose time with the company dates back to the first Iron Man, has left the studio, multiple sources tell The Hollywood Reporter.

The reasons for the exit are unclear but she parted ways with Marvel Friday, sources say.

Alonso had been with the company since earliest days of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, establishing an enviable 17-year run and watching the studio grow from operating above a Mercedes-Benz dealership in Beverly Hills to being acquired by Disney. During her tenure, the MCU became the highest grossing franchise in film history.

This is the dumb bimbo that was promising an X-Men movie without "Men" in the title.

This is huge. In a way, I think it’s bigger than the MCU, but I’ll just take it as an MCU win for now.

I’m officially looking forward to whatever they’re cooking now. Seems like they are getting their ass in line.

Alanso was actually FIRED

Eight days later, she was fired as Marvel’s president of physical production, post-production, VFX and animation, three individuals familiar with the matter told Variety. The shakeup came as a surprise to many in show business and within the vast Marvel comic book fandom (a community with a prominent online presence and an in-person significance, at the many multiplexes where the studio releases its films).

Quite frankly, I think she was put in charge of the special effects division knowing that would be leverage to get her out under guise, given how long people have pointed out the poor FX in any Marvel movie outside an Avengers flick.

She played the "safety by political flag waving" card that everyone employed for years and as we've been saying - woke $#!( has been on a huge decline after peaking with racist mania such as "Dear White People" and the long curve down from projects that take 2 years or so to be realized. Don't pay for woke $#!( - it's a lie. It's disingenuous. Don't pay for woke $#!().
