Victoria Alonso's Firing from Marvel Sparks Legal Action and Controversy.
Victoria Alonso, a longtime executive at Marvel Studios, has been fired by Disney for allegedly breaching her employment contract by working on the Oscar-nominated film "Argentina, 1985" produced in part by Amazon Studios. Alonso's attorney claims that she had Disney's "blessing" to work on the film and that she was "silenced" by the company. However, sources say that Alonso was reminded repeatedly in writing that she was in violation of her contract but continued to promote the film. Her work on "Argentina, 1985" was a culminating event for the executive's tenure at Marvel, which had become increasingly fraught due to criticisms of the studio's approach to visual effects.
