Rumor has it that Marvel has fired all the "right people" producers in its internal purge

According to foreign media That Park Place, they heard that Marvel Pictures has begun an internal purge and fired all producers who may be labeled as "activists."

So-called "activist" filmmakers are those who hold certain social or political views in their work and try to reflect these views in their works.

The latest rumor comes from Chris Gore, founder of Film Threat. Gore said: "I do know people who work at Marvel. They have cleaned up the house. A few months ago, they quietly fired all the producers who could be labeled as activists."

Unlike Lucasfilm. Lucasfilm is lost. They’re lost. They’re doubling down on their own bullshit. You’re never going to get anything good out of Lucasfilm and Star Wars. That’s it.”

By contrast, he said: "Kevin Feige admitted...basically, he said we tried, but it didn't work. He was talking about Phase 4. It didn't work, Kang didn't work, these supporting actors didn't work, they didn't have the legacy of classic characters. If Deadpool and Wolverine are any proof, you've heard the saying 'male and pale is cliché', studios say it, but if you look at the box office this year, I would say male and pale is money. I think people should adopt that saying more."

Gore also noted: "Plus, they fired people who didn't understand comics. ... But this is going to be a seismic change that will take years. Years. That's why they're announcing this now. "We know we screwed up and failed, but look what's going to happen next... So we're going to have two bad movies, two bad TV shows, and maybe a good Fantastic Four movie."

Marvel Studios did make a major overhaul of its television division late last year. According to Borys Kit of The Hollywood Reporter, the company is "reforming its development process. Writers will be responsible for writing pilots and script outlines. Gone are the days of shooting entire series and then evaluating them, as they did with She-Hulk and Secret Invasion."

“We’re trying to marry the Marvel culture with the traditional TV culture,” Brad Winderbaum, Marvel’s head of streaming, television, and animation, told Kit. “We need executives who are focused on the medium, who will focus on streaming and TV, because they’re two different formats.”
