By the hollywood reporterAfter 17 years of working at Marvel Studios, originally as executive vice president of visual effects and post-production before becoming department president, Alonso left the company last Friday for reasons that aren’t entirely clear. As a co-producer of several of Marvel’s early films, such as the first Iron Man, thorand Captain America the First AvengerAlonso played a key role in the formation of the MCU in its infancy, and in 2012 avengers it marked the beginning of her work as an executive producer on all of the studio’s features and series.
While neither Marvel nor Alonso have announced a reason for their departure, as THR notes, it comes at a time when Marvel movies like Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and series like She-Hulk: Lawyer they have been criticized for their less than stellar applications of VFX. Alonso’s departure also comes just months after CEO Bob Iger made it clear that his plan for Disney’s long-term success involves reigning in content spend and that Marvel might not be in the business of putting out third or fourth franchise installments for much longer.
