Disney layoffs hit Marvel hard: 8% workforce cut targets Oscar-winning VFX team – Is AI at play?

About a week ago, The Wall Street Journal’s report on Disney layoffs stirred up a storm in the job market, suggesting that another massive shake-up at the entertainment giant would result in as many as 1,000 employees losing their posts. The nightmare has now been set in stone with confirmation coming straight from Disney’s CEO, Josh D’Amaro.

Preliminary information available beforehand didn’t provide much detail about the move’s scarring impact. Now, it has been revealed that Marvel Studios will suffer a consequential blow, with approximately 8% of the workforce expected to be fired, according to Deadline.
