X-Men '97 Creator Battles Marvel: Chaos Intensifies

The ongoing saga between X-Men '97 creator Beau DeMayo and Marvel has taken a sensational twist as DeMayo publicly criticizes the studio on his OnlyFans account following his controversial firing. This chaotic situation has escalated since Marvel's findings of "egregious" misconduct were made public, complicating discussions surrounding the series' production. DeMayo claims he was wrongfully let go due to sharing LGBTQ artwork and alleges a smear campaign against him. Despite the positive reception of X-Men '97 season 1, this drama has overshadowed the show's success. Season 2 is slated for release in late 2025, amid the continuing turmoil surrounding Marvel and DeMayo's contentious claims.

Beau DeMayo, the showrunner for X-Men '97, was fired amid controversies over alleged misconduct and creative disputes.
