Part 4/9:
The news broke suddenly: Victoria Alonso was terminated from Marvel. Officially, Disney cited unspecified breaches of contract and violations of company policy, framing her dismissal as a necessary step due to professional misconduct. Notably, reports suggested her firing was linked to her work on Argentina 1985, an Oscar-nominated project she was involved with concurrently with her duties at Marvel.
Alonso’s lawyer, Patty Glaser, vehemently denied these claims, asserting that she was fired over her personal passion project—which Disney had supposedly approved—and not due to her work on the film. Glaser accused Disney of attempting to silence Alonso after she refused to participate in actions she deemed unethical, highlighting a battleground of conflicting narratives.
