However, as a quick look at any big movie&#8217;s credits will reveal, a major Hollywood endeavor is rarely a uniform monolith. Instead, it&#8217;s a sprawling sphere of tiny entities that consist of various individuals and companies pulling more or less in the same direction.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">This, in turn, means that not all of those entities are as big and financially secure as the parent company. Still, it&#8217;s surprising to find out that one of the MCU-adjacent smaller companies has now folded, despite having a hit Marvel show under its belt. Per documents obtained by <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/carolinereid\/2025\/09\/28\/inside-the-bankruptcy-of-marvels-eyes-of-wakanda-animation-studio\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Forbes;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Forbes<\/a>, said company is Axis Studios, a\u00a0Scottish animation house that\u00a0provided the visuals for 2025&#8217;s eye-popping &#8220;Eyes of Wakanda&#8221;\u00a0miniseries. The &#8220;Black Panther&#8221;\u00a0spin-off was a critical darling that rose to the top of most viewed shows on Disney+. It was also a mere cherry on the top of the studio&#8217;s extensive r\u00e9sum\u00e9, which makes the fall particularly disheartening.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Read more: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.slashfilm.com\/1939289\/buffy-the-vampire-slayer-cast-actors-now\/?zsource=yahoo\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Buffy The Vampire Slayer Cast: Where The Actors Are Now;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Buffy The Vampire Slayer Cast: Where The Actors Are Now<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Axis Studios worked on many excellent projects, but ultimately, it just wasn&#8217;t enough<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Winnie Harlow&#8217;s Noni looking angrily at Cress Williams&#8217; The Lion on Eyes of Wakanda &#8211; Marvel Studios<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">If the name Axis\u00a0Studios rings a bell, it may be because many consumers of popular culture have bumped into the studio&#8217;s work at some point.\u00a0It has worked on video games like &#8220;League of Legends,&#8221;\u00a0&#8220;Halo,&#8221; and &#8220;Gears of War,&#8221; as well as numerous TV shows \u2014 notably <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.slashfilm.com\/936381\/the-best-love-death-robots-episodes-that-you-need-to-watch\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Netflix's must-watch anthology show &quot;Love Death + Robots.&quot;;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Netflix&#8217;s must-watch anthology show &#8220;Love Death + Robots.&#8221;<\/a>\u00a0It was also known for visual effects and trailer work.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Despite such a great CV, the reason behind Axis Studios&#8217; downfall was ultimately simple: Money trouble. The studio wasn&#8217;t big enough to handle very many projects at a time, which meant its income depended on large individual paydays. Such paydays were fewer and further between after the dual impact of the COVID-19 pandemic \u2014 which caused the video game industry to tighten its outsourcing belt \u2014 and <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.slashfilm.com\/1584974\/2023-summer-box-office-bad-hollywood-strikes\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:the 2023\u00a0Hollywood strikes;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">the 2023\u00a0Hollywood strikes<\/a>,\u00a0which in turn took a toll on production schedules.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While work was still coming in, rising costs and assorted delays started hurting Axis Studio&#8217;s cash flow. The situation spiralled until the summer of 2024 made it clear that filing for bankruptcy was the only viable solution. The studio folded with over $2.5 million on the red. Sadly,\u00a0$608,000 of this hefty sum is owed to its 151 former employees, who are unlikely to ever see the money.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">If you&#8217;re looking for the easiest way to keep up with all the major movie and TV news, why not <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/subscribe.slashfilm.com\/newsletter-syndicated\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:sign up to our free newsletter;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">sign up to our free newsletter<\/a>?<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Read the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.slashfilm.com\/1989947\/marvel-tv-series-eyes-of-wakanda-studio-closing-bankruptcy\/?zsource=yahoo\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:original article on SlashFilm;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">original article on SlashFilm<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been on a downfall in recent times, but overall, it&#8217;s still a multi-billion juggernaut franchise that&#8217;s owned by Disney \u2014 a company that you&#8217;d expect to be able to eat the occasional loss with little issue.
