Why it's trending
The leak of the post-credits scene on social media, combined with Sony's aggressive takedown efforts, has sparked widespread discussion and warnings to avoid spoilers.
Sony is battling a major leak of the post-credits scene from 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day,' using copyright claims to scrub the footage from social media. The leaked video, seemingly recorded inside a theater, began circulating on X early on the morning of July 27, according to IGN.
IGN reported that multiple copies of the footage have been removed from X via copyright claims, which only confirms its legitimacy. While Sony is removing some instances, other versions remain hosted on social media, making it unrealistic for the studio to catch every copy.
The leak comes just hours after the film's official premiere on July 27, with early previews beginning the same day. It is unclear where the footage originated, though some theaters had access to the film. The movie's official release is set for July 31.
Fans hoping to avoid spoilers are advised to stay off social media and comment threads until they see the film. The leak underscores the challenge studios face in containing pre-release content in the digital age.
