Evangeline Lilly Criticizes Marvel Studios Layoffs and Use of AI
Evangeline Lilly has sharply criticized layoffs at Marvel Studios, according to The Hollywood Reporter. In her comments, she argued that the artists who helped bring the Marvel Cinematic Universe to life are losing their places as artificial intelligence takes over work they previously did.
The remarks put a public face associated with the MCU on one side of a wider industry debate about staffing cuts and the growing use of AI in film and television production. Her criticism focused on the human cost for creative workers, presenting the changes as a replacement of experienced artists rather than simply a shift in tools or workflow.
The report does not, in the material available here, include a response from Marvel Studios to Lilly's specific claims. Her comments are likely to draw attention because they come from within the Marvel orbit and address both the layoffs themselves and concern about how new technology is affecting the people behind the films.
