Carrie Coon Leaves MCU Over Pay Dispute

Carrie Coon, known for her role in HBO's The White Lotus, declined to reprise her character Proxima Midnight in Avengers: Endgame due to a pay dispute with Marvel. Her husband, Tracy Letts, revealed on The Big Picture podcast that Coon was invited back but refused to participate when told she would not receive a pay raise, despite her role in the box office hit Avengers: Infinity War. Letts recounted Coon's response to Marvel's offer, highlighting that they suggested she should feel fortunate to be part of the Marvel Universe. This decision did not hinder Coon's career, as she continues to receive acclaim for her work in various projects. The couple has notably not watched either of the Avengers films, emphasizing their indifference towards the situation. Coon's next appearance will be in the finale of The White Lotus Season 3, airing on April 6.
