Disney is looking for the source of the leaked Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantum Mania script. The American giant is asking for help from Reddit and Google.
Earlier this year, a user of the Marvel Studios Spoilers subreddit, a community dedicated to upcoming Marvel projects, posted a leak, which is rare, especially in MCU history. A month before the release of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantum Mania, a user under the pseudonym MSSmods shared a 63-page Google Doc file, a complete transcript of the dialogue from the film. Today, Disney wants to know who is responsible for this leak and is trying to get Reddit and Google to identify the person or people behind this operation.

According to TorrentFreak, Disney’s MVL Film Finance division, a subsidiary formed by the company to aid Marvel Studios products, has filed two Digital Millennium Copyright Act lawsuits to force Reddit and Google to provide information to identify the author(s). this leak. Since MSSmods is an account shared by r/MarvelStudiosSpoilers moderators, if Reddit responds positively to this request, it will result in it providing the names of more than one person. Separately, Disney asked Google and Reddit to share any “identifying information”available on MSSmods, including names, phone numbers, and IP addresses, as well as details of any users who may have been involved in the posting.

Therefore, we do not know whether the company intends to comply with the requirements. “Reddit is committed to protecting the privacy of our users. We have strict processes in place to handle legal requests and objections when necessary,” a Reddit Engadget spokesperson said simply. Google declined to comment on this topic.
Either way, it’s hard to know what Disney is going to do once it gets to the source of the leak, if that ever happens. This is probably an independent subtitle provider or translator. The document shared by MSSmods was a translation of the Portuguese subtitles from Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantum Mania, with some dialogue not in chronological order.
