James Gunn, writer/director of these films and executive producer of Avengers 3, was fired by Disney from this and any other franchises due to old tweets and blog posts. It's a little surprising they were still online; Carrie Fisher's twitter and blog were cleaned up almost immediately when Disney bought Lucasfilm. Here's a rundown of all the... monkey business. At least he lasted longer than Harlan Ellison (RIP, a few weeks ago).
Ellison was hired as a writer for Walt Disney Studios but was fired on his first day after Roy O. Disney overheard him in the studio commissary joking about making a pornographic animated film featuring Disney characters.
Again I suspect Bob Iger is clearing a path to run for president. This firing is not as egregious as John Lasseter from Pixar, he'll have to explain that one to the history books.

And yet, Sarah Silverman is poised to be featured in Wreck-It Ralph 2...

It really looks like they're killing the messenger for revealing something that happened on the set of a 2001 Disney tween movie made when Iger was COO under Eisner. The incident could have generated a paper trail: child endangerment, animal mishandling, lab tests on both for airborne pathogen vector analysis (vector as in epidemiology, not physics).

Edit: you shouldn't have to wander the internet for this context.
