Marvel says X-Men ’97’s old showrunner was fired over ‘egregious’ investigation findings

Marvel has broken its silence on the firing of X-Men ‘97 showrunner Beau DeMayo.

But following DeMayo’s recent claims that Marvel unfairly pulled his credits from X-Men ’ 97 ’s upcoming second season, the company says he was fired over the “egregious” findings of an internal investigation. DeMayo, who is openly gay, implied that Marvel’s decision was driven specifically by the fan art, which depicts him as the X-Men Cyclops without his signature blue spandex and was posted during pride month on June 4th. According to anonymous sources cited by THR, “sexual misconduct” was part of why DeMayo was fired from season one, and Deadline reports that the removal of his credits is a consequence of his breaching a separation agreement with Marvel.
