Marvel Faces Big Job Cuts as Disney Reorganizes

Disney’s latest round of layoffs has reached Marvel, cutting about 8% of its staff across both Marvel Entertainment in New York and Marvel Studios in California. The cuts impact nearly every department, from film and TV production to legal and finance teams. The biggest hit appears to be in visual development, where only a handful of artists remain to hire freelancers for future projects.This isn’t just a Marvel issue—Disney is letting go of 1, 000 employees company-wide. In an internal memo, leadership called the decision tough but necessary, framing it as part of a bigger plan to "rebalance resources" rather than a judgment on workers’ performance. The move raises questions about how the company plans to keep up its creative output under tighter budgets. Some may wonder why Marvel, a brand that still pulls in huge profits, needs such drastic cuts. The answer likely lies in Disney’s broader struggles to adapt to changing streaming trends and rising production costs. While Marvel’s films and shows remain popular, the business side of entertainment is getting harder to manage.
