Rob Liefeld Leaves Marvel Over Disrespect Concerns

Rob Liefeld, the creator of Deadpool, has announced his departure from Marvel after over 30 years, citing disrespect at the premiere of 'Deadpool & Wolverine' as the final straw. Liefeld was upset by not being invited to the afterparty and felt ignored by Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige. He also claims photos taken with the creative team were deleted. His grievances include Marvel's decision to grant co-creator status of Wolverine to Roy Thomas and his request for more prominent film credits being ignored. Liefeld expressed that Disney's acquisition of Fox changed the working relationship and that he felt undermined and unappreciated in the process. Despite cutting ties, Liefeld will still benefit financially from his creations, like Deadpool, as he maintains authorship and creative rights.
