Marvel President Victoria Alonso Fired Amid Visual Effects Criticisms and Phase 5 Preparations

Victoria Alonso, the longtime Marvel president in charge of physical production, post-production, VFX, and animation, has been fired at the behest of Disney co-chair Alan Bergman, according to a new report by Variety. This news has come as a surprise to many observers, as Alonso had been with Disney since 2006 and was known as one of the company’s most influential producers. Her work dates back to 2008’s Iron Man, where she was a co-producer and visual effects producer.

It is unclear why Alonso was fired, but problems around Marvel’s visual effects have been in the news for some time now. The latest MCU project to garner criticism is Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania. Alonso was reportedly “blindsided” by the decision, and Kevin Feige, who was her direct boss, was apparently not involved in the decision.
