Unless there’s evidence he’s done something worse than just being an asshole, he may still find work. Might just go by the name Alan Smithee for a bit.

Might have been true few years ago but these days with the Twitter mob and social media/outrage/cancel culture in full swing, I doubt it

Also, I feel like what people are willing to tolerate is different today. Back years ago more people were willing to put up with bad behavior because they just saw it as the norm from people like Whedon. It's why nothing was ever said when he worked on Buffy and Angel. But today people are much less tolerant of this behavior. You're expected to act more ethical and nice.

So I do personally think this may have some effect on his career. I don't think he'll be hired to do stuff anytime soon. But after some time I do think he will make a come back. It'll also help if he goes on an apology tour and takes some anger management classes.
