Deadpool Creator Rob Liefeld Will No Longer Work with Marvel After ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Premiere Indignities

The writer-artist describes several perceived slights, such as being denied access to the afterparty, and makes a head-turning claim: "Kevin Feige does not treat comic book creators well."

Liefeld laid out his decision in a 90-minute episode of his Robservations podcast as well as in a follow-up interview with The Hollywood Reporter, where he detailed a series of perceived slights at July’s New York premiere of Deadpool & Wolverine. Liefeld said that his discomfort with Marvel began in early 2023, when he learned the company made the controversial decision to change the credits on Wolverine, awarding co-creator status to editor Roy Thomas. A year later, on June 3, 2024, Liefeld fired off an email to Marvel asking if he could receive a special credit on Deadpool & Wolverine, and inquiring what else might be offered to him, in terms of access to movie premieres and other promotional opportunities.
