MVL Film Finance, a subsidiary of conglomerate The Walt Disney Company and financial backer of Marvel Studios productions, has filed a lawsuit against Google and Reddit to force the companies to investigate the leaked transcript of ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’.
Earlier this year, a user named MSSmods posted on a Reddit community, Marvel Studios Spoilers, a 63-page transcript of dialogue from “Ant-Man 3” (which was hosted in a Google Doc account). The leak occurred a month before the film’s Feb. 16 premiere, though investigations point out that excerpts from the document had already been made available since October 2022.
Second TorrentFreakMSSmods is a shared account among community moderators, so Disney’s request to Google and Reddit to reveal the leaker could mean exposing several users’ data, as well as a major legal problem for the chain of spoilers.
“Reddit is committed to protecting the privacy of our users. We have rigorous processes for evaluating legal requests and disputing where appropriate,” a Reddit spokesperson said Engadget, without providing details of the intention to fulfill the order. Google is yet to comment.
The script shared by MSSmods contained translated Marvel film dialogue with Portuguese subtitles: both Portugal and Brazil are cited as sources in the text.
A Disney anti-piracy analyst even sent a copyright infringement notice to Google after discovering that the contents of “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” had been uploaded to a system operated by Disney. great technology.
However, Google reported that although it received the warning, when it accessed the site for removal, the content no longer existed. It is not yet clear what measures Disney (and Marvel) will be if the companies decide to expose the data of the users involved.
