The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU)

[Joe.]

This is really bad for Marvel. Their only option is to recast really. But with Loki season 2 filmed it’s a bit of a mess.

The evidence mentioned by the lawyer would prove what happened in the taxi - not necessarily before or after. There could be more to this than what TMZ has reported. If he was violent towards her earlier in the evening, any bruising wouldn't necessarily be visible that soon.

And it's common for victims of domestic violence to retract their statements.

The fact that several people were saying this tracks with rumoured behaviour outside of this incident is also notable

 

[Macanudo]

Oh wow, that is shocking. Hasn’t the talk around him been that he’s soft and kind?

Hope this woman will be ok. And I hope Marvel doesn’t do an Ezra and just sweep it under the rug if true.

So apparently the Marvel machine is rapidly trying to "clean his image", I guess they are too invested in him at this point.

How are they doing that? By doing what?

Apparently where? Like where do people get things like this? I don't think Marvel has even commented?

It's only been around 48 hours since this whole thing was reported, I really wish people would just sit and wait on concrete info rather then jumping in with tweets and rumors.

His laywer belongs to the buffet that works for Marvel...

So Victoria Alonso’s firing had nothing to do with VFX. It was for breach of contract.

 

[LetsGetToIt]

You’d never be able to pin this on Marvel, but it’s obvious that *somebody* called Olivia Pope to clean this up. This about face is screaming PR assisted coverup.

 

[Aidan]

Hmm interesting

Not surprising since several “Hulks” are suppose to appear in this and this is the age of the Multi-Verse. I’m guessing this is where one of the underdeveloped She-Hulk storylines is focused on.

Hate posting it here as 'news' but it's probably the agreed upon thread



I'm dreading the media circus and culture war lines this will draw. Especially as I can see his defense leaning into them what with the Depp precedent

 

[Macsun]

Im praying this will finally put the MCU back on track.

Justice!

This is one of my most anticipated Marvel projects in years. I miss Agents of Shield and I know this isn’t the same, but I feel like it’ll give me the same type of joy that show did.

 

[aboutyounow]

Ooh this is bad.

 

[Alphableat]

Ooh this is bad.

Article says that division focuses on ‘consumer products’ - so is that like toys and lunchboxes?

Edit:

Found a NYT article with more info.

By the end, Mr. Perlmutter’s job was limited to businesses like comics publishing, which generates $40 million to $60 million in sales annually, according to analysts. (To contextualize, Disney had about $83 billion in total revenue in 2022.) He was also involved in Marvel game licensing, certain consumer products and superhero arena shows.

So I suppose the big impact is on comics publishing.

 

[BTG]

Perlmutter should’ve been out of Disney a long time ago. The MCU only became what it was once Feige wrestled control from him. This is welcome news.
