Sony is reportedly working to remove leaked footage of the post-credit scene from "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" from social media platforms, utilizing copyright claims to take down the content. The footage, believed to have been recorded in a theater, began appearing on X, formerly Twitter, on July 27. While the film does not officially release until July 31, its premiere took place on July 27, with early previews starting shortly thereafter. Several copies of the post-credit scene have been observed being removed from X due to copyright assertions, which some interpret as confirmation of the leak's authenticity.
It remains unclear how the footage initially surfaced, but its presence indicates that some theaters have already gained access to the film. Although Sony is pursuing the removal of this content, other versions of the leaked scene are still visible on social media. It is considered unlikely that the studio's legal team will be able to identify and remove every instance of the leaked material.
For audiences hoping to avoid spoilers, this situation serves as a caution to steer clear of social media, Reddit, and internet comment sections until they have seen "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" in theaters. Failure to do so risks exposing major plot elements before the film's official release.
In related news, "Spider-Man 2" on PlayStation now features a costume inspired by Tom Holland's "Brand New Day" iteration of the character. Earlier coverage has also delved into fan speculation surrounding Sadie Sink's role in the film, a topic previously teased by Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds and seemingly contradicted by Tom Holland, with further mystery surrounding deciphered footage.
