Beau DeMayo, a gay Black man, had been outspoken about what working on X-Men meant to him
Beau DeMayo, the creator and showrunner of Disney+’s X-Men ’97—a continuation of Fox’s iconic ‘90s cartoon—was apparently fired by Marvel Studios early last week, with the news coming out publicly just a day before the show’s Hollywood premiere and just about a week before the show is going to debut on Disney+.
He had also been fairly outspoken before this, embracing his identity as a gay Black man and talking about how that impacted his appreciation of the X-Men, who have always been used as a metaphor for any number of groups who are hated and feared by society just for being themselves. No official statements about any of this have been released, but basically all of this is unusual.
