Didn't see a thread for this, so apologies if it is being discussed elsewhere on the forums. However, the latest bit of news doing the rounds is that a person/persons employed at Marvel in a senior position is about to find themselves out of a job. Of course, this is all conjecture at this point.
Here is a link to the original article posted over at Bleeding Cool -

Supposedly this is a response to the recent spate of negative publicity the company has weathered this year from the comments surrounding diversity across the line and the X-Men Gold antisemitic controversy. All of which have been levied as reasons for the less than stellar critical reception towards Marvel’s publishing line.
Interestingly enough, this rumour makes mention that Kevin Feige may have pulled some strings to set the wheels in motion. However, it is worth mentioning that Disney was made moves of late to restructure divisions under their ownership that haven’t been performing to expectations.
Whatever transpires, seems we are in for a wild ride over the next few days. Perhaps even weeks or months.
