The Marvel fan who snuck onto the set of Avengers: Doomsday and shared a now-viral video has now received a formal warning from the MCU, according to their latest update.
It’s no surprise that details surrounding Avengers: Doomsday are being kept tightly under wraps, although we do know the upcoming MCU movie will bring together every superhero but the kitchen sink for an Endgame-style battle.
What’s more, Robert Downey Jr. will be returning to the franchise, only as Doctor Doom instead of Tony Stark. However, with filming taking place in London, UK, as we speak, one fan managed to break onto the set.

Operating under the handle @theyneversawitcomingg, they shared a video of the set on TikTok, which quickly went viral. When it was removed, they reuploaded it to Instagram, and now Marvel has reportedly stepped in.

On Wednesday (May 21), the leaker added an Instagram Story to their account, stating, “Received my first ‘formal threat’. I might be cooked.” Marvel has yet to publicly comment on the situation, although it wouldn’t be surprising if the studio had taken action.

In the bio, they also wrote, “Video got removed, posting on Instagram.” It’s received hundreds of comments, with fellow fans warning them to be cautious.
“If it’s real, be careful, they can sue you and you know it,” said one, while another wrote, “Bro is getting sued to pieces.”
A third added, “Yeah Kevin fiege is definitely going to come find you,” and a fourth chimed in, “Yeah you’re cooked buddy.”
As well as the video, which showed a bar situated in the Marvel location of Madripoor, the user shared what appeared to be a blueprint of the home of Annie Reynolds – the mother of Thunderbolts’ Bob Reynolds. However, this appears to have been removed.

Although many of the comments are tongue-in-cheek, leaking footage from a Marvel set can carry serious legal consequences. Disney and Marvel Studios are notoriously protective of their intellectual property, and leaking unreleased content could land a person in court.

Depending on how the footage was obtained, the individual could face criminal trespassing charges, copyright infringement claims, or even civil suits over the disclosure of confidential material.
This wouldn’t be the first time Marvel has pursued leakers. In 2023, the studio filed a DMCA subpoena against Reddit to uncover the identity of users who leaked dialogue from Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania ahead of release.

In a similar incident, The Expendables 3 was leaked online weeks before its debut, prompting Lionsgate to sue the anonymous uploaders for damages, claiming it impacted the movie’s box office performance. Whether Marvel or Disney will escalate this new case beyond a warning remains to be seen.
