Marvel Studios Veteran Victoria Alonso Exits After 17 Years

After 17 years, Marvel Studios executive Victoria Alonso stepped down from her position and parted ways with Marvel on Friday. The reasons for the exit are unclear.

Starting out in 2006, as chief of visual effects and postproduction, Alonso launched the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a co-producer on 2008’s Iron Man. She continued to serve as a co-producer on Iron Man 2 (2010), Thor (2011), and Captain America: The First Avenger (2011). Alonso became an executive producer on The Avengers (2012) and worked on numerous Disney+ TV series. In 2021, she was promoted to president, physical and postproduction, visual effects, and animation production.

Besides Alonso taking part in many behind-the-scenes projects, she was an important ambassador for the studio’s representation efforts and was outspoken during Disney’s dispute with Florida over its “Don’t Say Gay” bill. “As long as I am at Marvel Studios, I will fight for representation,” Alonso, who is gay, said at the time.
