The executive closed a financial compensation with Disney. There is still a mystery about his departure and the role of the movie Argentina, 1985.
One month after his abrupt dismissal of Marvelthe Argentina Victoria Alonso reached an agreement with the company of Disney. According to the Hollywood press, the executive He closed a multi-million dollar deal.
“Although the details between Alonso and Disney are confidentialwe have been told that there was multi-million dollar financial compensation”, described the specialized portal Deadline this Thursday. Details about Alonso’s dismissal are inaccurate with twists and turns around her role as producer of the film nominated for an Oscar: Argentina, 1985.
Shortly after his dismissal was announced, The Hollywood Reporter reported that Marvel had prohibited him from giving interviews sponsoring Argentina, 1985, because it belonged to a rival company, Amazon Prime. His lawyer Patty Glaser sought to deny that these were the reasons true: “The idea that Victoria Alonso was fired for a handful of press interviews related to a personal passion project on human rights and democracy who was nominated for an Oscar and for which he got Disney’s blessing to work It’s absolutely ridiculous.”

Glaser points out how Alonso was silenced and subsequently fired, by refusing to do something that she considers reprehensible. Victoria Alonso, a gay Latina who had the courage to criticize Disney, was silenced,” said the lawyer. “Then she was fired when she refused to do something she thought was wrong,” she continued.
At the time, other anonymous sources confided to the Variety portal that this action referred to Alonso refusing to remove LGBTQ images in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Disney would have requested it so that the film couldto be released in territories hostile to the rights of that community.

A Disney representative responded to Glaser that it was “unfortunate” that they shared “a narrative that leaves out some clues in connection with your departure, including an unobjectionable breach of contract and a direct violation of company policies”.
The executive joined Marvel in 2006 as head of special effects and post-production. With the beginning of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, she co-produced many of the company’s greatest hits and in 2021 she was promoted to president of post production, special effects and animation”
