The MCU spoilers subreddit shuts down after Marvel Studios and Disney take legal action against those who leak details about their projects.
Marvel Studios and Disney are cracking down on Marvel Cinematic Universe leaks, forcing a popular Marvel Spoilers sub-Reddit to shut down. Known for going to great lengths to keep specific plot details for their projects tightly under the lid, information about MCU films and TV shows have leaked numerous times over the years. Now, Kevin Feige's Marvel Studios is taking action to hold leakers accountable.
Per Variety, Disney filed a request on Friday on behalf of Marvel in a federal district court in California. They asked the court to issue a subpoena that would mandate Reddit to identify the users who were involved in a dialogue leak about story details about Ant-Man 3 on the r/MarvelStudiosSpoilers subreddit around Jan. 20, 2023.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY “Reddit is committed to protecting our users’ privacy. We have rigorous processes in place to assess legal requests and object when appropriate,”How Leaks Ruin The Public's Moviegoing Experience From the get-go, Marvel Studios has been known to keep certain aspects of its films a surprise. It all started with Nick Fury's unexpected cameo in Iron Man's iconic post-credits scene, and over the course of the next 15 years, this has continued.
Unfortunately, Marvel Studios has been the victim of one too many leaks in the burgeoning MCU Multiverse Saga. They're detrimental to the moviegoing experience. For starters, it's difficult to verify the authenticity of these leaks. Most of the leakers include disclaimers that safeguard them from being held accountable once their supposed scoops don't pan out.
Whether or not this endeavor becomes productive is currently unknown. Based on Reddit's statement, it doesn't seem like they are eager to heed Disney's legal request. In the meantime, Marvel Cinematic Universe will move forward amid this, hopefully with fewer leaks down the road.
