X-Men '97 Creator's Lawyer Issues Statement Over Disney Firing

As a long-time fan of the X-Men universe and someone who has witnessed numerous behind-the-scenes dramas, I find myself deeply intrigued by this latest turn of events involving Beau DeMayo and Disney. The allegations against Disney, as presented by DeMayo’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, seem to echo similar stories that have surfaced in the past about the company’s questionable business practices.


As a passionate gamer and avid X-Men fan, I’ve been following the recent developments regarding Beau DeMayo, the showrunner of X-Men ’97. Last week, Disney took away his credits for Season 2 without providing any explanation. I’ve noticed that DeMayo has been pretty quiet about it all, except for a few comments here and there on social media about various X-Men ’97 episodes and the overwhelmingly positive fan response.

As a seasoned gamer who’s tackled many Disney games, the playbook usually doesn’t change – it’s all sunshine and rainbows on the surface, but beneath that, they sneakily try to embed hidden clauses in contracts that aim to muzzle the truth and restrict me from exercising my fundamental rights. That’s what attorney Bryan Freedman of Freedman Taitelman + Cooley pointed out in a statement to Variety.

In March 2024, Mr. DeMayo was let go from Marvel after an internal probe, as stated by a representative from Marvel (as reported by The Hollywood Reporter). Due to the seriousness of the results, we cut ties with him right away, and he no longer has any connection with Marvel.

You can read the full statement by Beau DeMayo’s attorney below:

With extensive knowledge of Disney’s operations, their playbook is consistently predictable. On the surface, they maintain a family-oriented image, but behind closed doors, they covertly try to insert unlawful and immoral clauses into contracts to suppress truth and prevent employees or customers from exercising their fundamental rights. We will demonstrate this through numerous examples, gradually revealing each case in detail. Disney’s approach is persistent and illegal, and when confronted or exposed, they resort to gaslighting and shifting blame onto anyone who speaks the truth using a sophisticated global public relations machine.
