Andy Park, Marvel’s director of visual development, has left the studio after 16 years as part of Disney’s layoffs.

Park took to social media to announce his departure. He wrote, “Marvel Studios Visual Development: 2010–2026. End of an era. I was there at the start of a team that broke the mold. 16 years, 40+ films, and 15 films led as Director of Visual Development, I couldn’t be prouder of the history we made.
