Reportedly, Victoria Alonso was fired from Marvel Studios over her involvement with ‘Argentina, 1985’.
Last week, news broke that Victoria Alonso, the executive who had served Marvel Studios for nearly two decades, had exited her post within the company. Alonso's top-tier standing within Marvel meant this news came as a massive shock within the industry. Today, The Hollywood Reporter released a story detailing the reasons for Alonso's sudden and surprising departure.
It appears her involvement with the Oscar-nominated drama Argentina, 1985 was the catalyst for her swift departure. Alonso was one of the eight producers of the international production that was distributed by Amazon. It is noted, however, that her involvement with the film at this level was a breach of contract - something which occurred multiple times.

The report adds that sources stated Alonso didn't ask for permission to work on Argentina, 1985 nor did she give notice but did the film of her own volition.
Alonso had been a long-time advocate for more diversity within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, in particular striving for more female leading roles and more representation for the LGBTQ+ community.
Alonso's career at Marvel Studios began in 2006, where she played a pivotal role in production until her exit earlier this month. She is listed as an executive producer, and her name will be listed as such on James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 3, the next film to be released by Marvel Studios.
