I saw Quantumania once in theaters on its opening weekend back in February before I came down with Covid. Granted, it has been a couple of months. But I definitely don't remember anything Pride-related in the movie. Although I don't like the idea of censoring it, I'm not sure if that...

Disney has reached a settlement with Victoria Alonso following her firing. "While details between Alonso and Disney are confidential, there was a multi-million financial compensation, we hear. The deal between the parties was reached in the past few days."...

A near $500 million movie can still be a financial failure if the budget was such that that total won't make money. Ant-Man had never been in an Avengers movie before Endgame. He had a brief appearance in Civil War, mostly for the airport sequence, but was not really at the center of that...

Yeah - there is a lot we don't know (and probably won't know) and a lot that doesn't make sense. Either more will come out over the course of the court case or it won't. It is an unfortunate way to leave a company where she had spent such a long part of her career though.

Deadline (which is also owned by the parent company of Variety and The Hollywood Reporter) is weighing in now with their own reporting and details. They say that "Alonso was even asked late last year by a prominent director to speak out for a Marvel film, but she stayed mute. Then the...

That is a good point. I guessed from the context that this was a reference to Alonso refusing to stay silent on the bill in Florida. But Disney has already come out against that, so it wouldn't make any sense to fire her for that. (I'll leave it there because we're flirting with politics...

Variety has a story about the Victoria Alonso/Argentina 1985 situation which includes a denial from her attorney. https://variety.com/2023/film/news/victoria-alonso-fired-marvel-argentina-1985-1235564419/ This whole situation sounds so weird and messy.

For the purposes of this post, I'm going to assume that the reporting in The Hollywood Reporter story I posted above is accurate. If it is not, then obviously this is moot. I understand why Victoria Alonso would be interested in working on Argentina, 1985. But I don't understand why she would...

The Hollywood Reporter has more about Victoria Alonso's firing. According to this, she produced and promoted Argentina, 1985 (which was released by Amazon) despite exclusivity in her contract...

Quantumania had a $200 million budget. It is currently sitting at $461 million worldwide. $205 million of that has come from North America. Given this, it seems like it will struggle to make a profit in theaters. Credit where it is due. These charts come from Dan Murrell, a professional...

Variety has new details about Alonso's exit and says she was indeed fired. https://variety.com/2023/film/news/victoria-alonso-marvel-exit-kevin-feige-1235561995/

Edit: Joe beat me to posting this.

This, in particular, feels like a weird choice to me. I know there has been talk of Marvel slowing down, which I actually think is a good idea because there has been a lot of stuff over the past couple years. However, I would think Ironheart should be a priority for them. She was just in...

November is filling up too. The Marvels will now open a week after the next Dune and a week before the next Hunger Games. I would still bet on The Marvels being a huge hit, but it is going into a crowded window.

I can't speak for Rose but I think it means "sci-fi." At least that's what made sense to me. That is a good point. Maybe it was moved back. I don't really mind. I'm sure I'll watch the shows, but I'm not on pins and needless waiting for a schedule announcement.

My understanding is that it will be sometime this year but they haven't set a date yet. As far as I know, none of the Disney+ shows coming this year have been officially dated yet. The studio seems focused on launching Quantumania right now. I'm sure news about the TV side of things will come...
