Marvel Says ‘X-Men ’97’ Creator Beau DeMayo Was Fired for ‘Egregious’ Misconduct After He Alleges Disney Stripped Credit Over Gay Pride PostMarvel Studios has issued an official statement saying that “X-Men ’97” creator and head writer Beau DeMayo was fired from the series in March 2024 for “egregious” misconduct. The studio released the statement shortly after DeMayo posted on several social media accounts, claiming that he was stripped of writing credits for the show’s second season because of a gay pride post he shared to social media.
“Mr. DeMayo was terminated in March 2024 following an internal investigation,” the studio said in a statement. “Given the egregious nature of the findings, we severed ties with him immediately and he has no further affiliation with Marvel.”
A source with knowledge of the investigation said evidence was discovered of sexual misconduct, and that DeMayo repeatedly violated his termination agreement, which led to the removal of his credits for Season 2.
