Oscar Isaac’s anti-Disney sentiment was on full display recently, as he publicly declined to autograph a Marvel-related Spider-Verse collectible despite signing other fan items at the Egyptian Theatre. The actor’s stance has drawn fresh attention to his ongoing issues with Disney, reinforcing his public position and sparking new debate over his future with Marvel.
Isaac Rejects Spider-Verse Collectible During Fan Event
Oscar Isaac’s recent appearance at the Egyptian Theatre quickly became a talking point for fans when a new video surfaced showing the actor refusing to sign a Spider-Verse item linked to his character, Miguel O’Hara. While he was seen signing various other memorabilia, including posters from his upcoming Frankenstein movie, Isaac made a clear exception for anything associated with Marvel. The fan filming the video asked,
Oscar, can I get you on this one, please?
expecting a signature on a Spider-Man 2099 Funko Pop. Isaac took a moment to examine the collectible and replied,
No. I’m not going to sign that.
His focused refusal stood in contrast to his otherwise friendly interactions with fans, particularly as he only drew the line at the Spider-Verse piece bearing Marvel’s branding.
Fan Shares Experience and Context Behind the Refusal
The video, posted online, captured not just the autograph snub but also the emotional reaction from the fan, who recounted their efforts to meet Isaac and secure the autograph for themselves and their sister. In their message, the fan explained that the Spider-Man 2099 and Moon Knight merchandise, both connected to Marvel, were refused, while Isaac happily signed other items. The fan further commented,
@eladiioenrrique 11/16/2025 – On Sunday, I got a last minute tip that Oscar Isaac was going to be at the Egyptian Theatre, (I know I told you this through DM but thank you again!), (you know who you are lol), so I tried to get him to sign my Spider-Man 2099 Funko Pops along with a Moon Knight Funko and a Spider-Man 2099 mini poster for my sister, of course in the video you only see the pops, but unfortunately Oscar stopped for the kid Grapher to sign Frankenstein items but he didn’t want to sign Marvel items. It was great to see him in person and honestly I don’t blame him at all, it was a long shot especially after hearing that he isn’t on good terms with Disney after that whole Kimmel incident but I was hoping he would sign the merch at least because imo he is still the most badass Miguel O’Hara and Moon Knight out there, he makes both characters, I’m sorry lol. I’m definitely going to get backlash for that lol. But anyways, thought I would share my interaction with him, and if Oscar sees this somehow, Oscar I understand and hopefully one day I can still get your autograph on the Spider-Man 2099 as well as my sister’s mini poster ! Oh and if Disney sees this, please fix things with Oscar, we need him back in marvel, there is no Moon Knight or Spider-Man 2099 without him. #spiderman2099 #OscarIsaac #fyp #Disney #Frankenstein ♬ original sound – eladiioenrrique
The post not only acknowledges Isaac’s contribution to Marvel properties like Moon Knight and Spider-Man 2099, but also suggests the actor’s reluctance isn’t without background context related to Disney.
The Marvel and Disney Connection Creates Tension
The specificity of Isaac’s refusal has underscored ongoing issues between the actor and Disney. While Spider-Verse is technically produced by Sony Pictures, the central character of Miguel O’Hara/Spider-Man 2099 is owned by Marvel—making the branding inescapably connected to Disney. This distinction seems crucial, as Isaac has previously spoken out against working with Disney, hinting at unresolved disputes. Recently, he was quoted as being
not so open to working with Disney
until the company can
figure it out and not succumb to fascism,
highlighting a firm stance against the studio’s direction. This incident at the Egyptian Theatre illustrates a deepening divide and a refusal to associate even with Marvel-linked merchandise, whether or not Disney was directly involved in the production.
Impact on Isaac’s Future with Marvel and Disney
The autograph incident builds on a trend of public distancing by Oscar Isaac. Only days before, he revealed to GQ his intention to boycott Disney, raising serious doubts about the continuation of his role as Moon Knight, which is co-produced by Marvel Studios. Fans who hoped for Isaac’s return as the character now find themselves confronting the reality that creative disputes may keep him away from future Marvel collaborations. The fact that Isaac’s stance also includes Marvel-branded Sony projects only highlights the complexity of corporate entanglements faced by actors navigating high-profile franchises.
Oscar Isaac’s refusal to sign the Spider-Verse item cements his anti-Disney position in the public sphere. As fan reactions circulate and speculation mounts over his possible absence from forthcoming Marvel projects, the incident offers a pointed reminder of the ongoing rifts in Hollywood between talent and studios. With the significance of his roles as Moon Knight and Miguel O’Hara, the future remains uncertain—for Isaac, for Marvel’s cinematic plans, and for fans hoping for reconciliation between the actor and the entertainment giant.
