LOS ANGELES — An attorney representing former Marvel Studio executive Victoria Alonso, who was fired earlier this week from the Walt Disney Co.-owned superhero juggernaut, is firing back at reports that she was pushed out over an Oscar-nominated film she produced.
The Hollywood Reporter on Friday published a story citing unnamed sources who said Alonso violated her 2018 employment contract with Disney by producing the film "Argentina, 1985," which was made by a competing studio, Amazon, and released on Prime Video.
The film was nominated for an Oscar for international feature this year. Alonso was one of multiple producers on the project.
