Marvel Shocker: ‘X-Men ’97’ Creator Beau DeMayo Fired Weeks Before Premiere
In an unusual situation on the eve of a project's debut, the writer-producer, who worked on 'Moon Knight' and 'Blade', will no longer be promoting the show or moving forward with future seasons.

There was no explanation given at all, nothing about "creative differences" or any of the usual moving on spiels coming from publicists. It was also reported that his company email account was deactivated immediately and that his teams/co-collaborators were informed that he no longer was part of the project.
Basically, he wasn't able to say goodbye and everyone else on X-men '97 didn't know what happened, either. He will also not be attending any of the press events and he didn't attend the premier, which is unusual as writers for Marvel projects always walk the red carpet even if they were taken out of the project.
From what can be observed, this seemed like quite an acrimonious split. And it looks like Marvel/Disney+ is doing its best to stay as far away as possible from Beau Demayo.
Meanwhile, Demayo's instagram account was also
deleted.
