Due to Disney and Marvel's crackdown on MCU spoilers, the popular Marvel Spoilers sub-Reddit has been taken down.
Information regarding MCU films and TV episodes have frequently leaked over the years, despite the fact that the studio has a reputation for being extremely secretive about the plots of its productions.
Kevin Feige's Marvel Studios is now taking measures to punish anyone responsible for leaking information.
Variety reports that Disney has filed a petition in a California federal district court on behalf of Marvel on Friday, March 10.
They requested the court issue a subpoena compelling Reddit to disclose the identities of those responsible for the January 20, 2023, disclosure of conversational spoilers regarding Ant-Man 3 on the r/MarvelStudiosSpoilers forum.
The subreddit's "u/MSSmods'" and "any other user(s) responsible for publishing, modifying, and/or maintaining the content" are named as defendants in this case, which covers the time period from January 15 to February 15.
This request has been made under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of the United States (DMCA).
The website Reddit has issued a statement in reaction to the controversy.
Marvel Studios has always been known to keep some of its films' plots and characters a secret.
It all started 15 years ago with Nick Fury's surprise debut in Iron Man's famous post-credits sequence.
Actors say they aren't given full scripts (or are given false scripts) to prevent spoilers from leaking out early.
There have been one too many leaks in the developing MCU Multiverse Saga, unfortunately for Marvel Studios.
They detract from watching a film in theaters.
To begin, it's tough to tell if these leaks are legit.
Most leakers have disclaimers in place to protect them in case their "exclusive" turns out to be a hoax.
Second, when information about a film leaks out, audiences form expectations based on that information and may be let down if those expectations aren't met.
The outcome of this effort is presently unknown.
As seen by their statement, Reddit appears to have no interest in complying with Disney's legal demand.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe will continue production despite the situation, and perhaps there will be fewer leaks in the future.
