Shortly before X-Men ’97 debuted to those with a Disney+ subscription back in March, it was announced that showrunner Beau DeMayo had been fired from the critically-acclaimed Marvel series . In the months to follow, DeMayo frequently posted on social media about his work on the X-Men: The Animated Series follow-up, including opening up about the devastating events in “Remember It,” and he also clarified that he wrote “a lot” of Season 2 , but for obvious reasons would not be “heavily involved or leading” production and other aspects of the creative process. However, the circumstances that led to DeMayo’s dismissal from X-Men ’97 have largely been shrouded in mystery.
That’s starting to change, though, because several posts DeMayo shared on X (formerly known as Twitter) has resulted in the curtain not only being pulled back on what allegedly led to him being let go from the Emmy-nominated X-Men ’97 , but also information being reported concerning the aftermath of that dismissal. Here’s everything that we know about these latest developments so far. Beau DeMayo Shares Fan Art That Allegedly Got Him In Trouble This all started when Beau DeMayo went on X the evening of Thursday, August 16 to show off some fan art he posted on Instagram in June for Gay Pride that depicted him as Cyclops, though largely unclothed, with only select aspects of Scott Summers’ uniform still on him.
DeMayo said that he was “grateful” to have worked on X-Men ’97 and collab.
