This statement will most likely sound too controversial to some people but these days, it's almost hard to imagine cinema without giant franchises like the Marvel Cinematic Universe in existence. What started out as a make-or-break initiative for Kevin Feige and his team of brilliant people eventually became a box office juggernaut that has been dominating the world of entertainment for over 10 years now.
Fast forward to today and Marvel Studios is still a dominating presence in the film and television industry and it isn't showing any signs of slowing down. Now, as the studio finally ushered in Phase Four, there are also huge changes in the creative landscape of the production company.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Marvel Studios veteran Victoria Alonso has been promoted to President of Physical and Post-Production, Visual Effects, and Animation Production for the studio, a newly formed position at the company.
Alonso joined Marvel Studios in 2006 as Chief of Visual Effects and Post-Production, serving as co-producer on Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Thor, and Captain America: The First Avenger. Victoria worked her way up the ladder and she would later serve as the Executive Producer for all Avengers projects from the Joss Whedon-directed Avengers all the way to the Russo Brothers' universe-shattering Avengers: Endgame.

Now, before some of you assume that Feige is being replaced as the overall chief of Marvel Studios, let's just make things clear right off the bat. The quick and obvious answer to that is no, Feige isn't going anywhere as he and Alonso will be working on different areas within the studio. Still, Victoria's promotion symbolizes a true changing of the guard within the studio and if anything, creative minds like her deserve a huge break.
