Beau DeMayo Accuses Marvel and Disney of ‘Egregious Prejudicial Misconduct’ on ‘X-Men ’97’ and ‘Blade’


Beau DeMayo, showrunner of “X-Men ’97,” has accused Marvel and Disney of “egregious prejudicial misconduct” on the animated series and the upcoming film "Blade."

A source with knowledge of that investigation further told Variety it was for sexual misconduct, and that DeMayo’s credits were stripped because he violated the terms of his termination agreement. “But more concerning is that they’re a smear campaign designed to discredit my credibility in order to cover up egregious prejudicial misconduct stretching from select crew members on ‘X Men ’97’ all the way to the top of Marvel Studios.” DeMayo alleges that he both experienced and witnessed misconduct while working on “X-Men ’97” in his capacity as showrunner, and during a brief stint as a screenwriter on the long-in-the-works feature film “ Blade,” set to star Mahershala Ali.
