The unheralded legal drama that caused chaos, firings, and lawsuits for Marvel celebrates awards season glory

And it's got no chance of being the film's lasting legacy.

Even though it won near-unanimous critical acclaim to rack up a 95 percent Rotten Tomatoes score, before going on to win a Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film and secure a nomination in the corresponding category at the Academy Awards, the lasting legacy of Argentina, 1985 more than likely won’t have anything to do with the movie itself.

Instead, history may well choose to it as the production that led to longtime Marvel Studios executive being fired from her position after almost two decades due to a breach of contract, which in turn led her to publicly blast the Mouse House with some unsavory accusations, before a settlement was eventually reached prior to either side airing any more dirty laundry.

Kevin Feige’s right hand was in the bad books for agreeing to produce Argentina, 1985 without notifying the right people at Disney, who have a special committee that either approves or denies requests for employees to work on outside projects. Disobeying the mighty Mickey anyway, Alonso ended up paying with her job.

The good news is that the incendiary historical drama has secured some brand new trophies, after it took home six trophies at the Platino Awards including Best Ibero-American Fiction Film, Best Screenplay, Best Actor, and the Audience Award. It may not be enough to distance it from the contractual and legal shenanigans that followed in the aftermath, but it’s already started to look as though the headlines indirectly emanating from Argentina, 1985 have encouraged audiences to check it out.
