Do you think the Marvel Cinematic Universe is having issues with leaks these days? It seems like the battle for leakers to get their hands on top-secret Marvel content has happened since Phase One.
During a recent interview to promote Secret Invasion, Nick Fury himself, Samuel L. Jackson, dove into a story where we see just how far people will go for these leaks.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Jackson tells a story dating back to the original Avengers film in 2012, where the actor says the script for the film was stolen from him. This led to the first actual security breach in the MCU, which is a common occurrence these days.
The actor recalls, “I remember when we got ready to do Avengers, someone printed out a copy of my Avengers script that had my watermark on it and put it online for sale. I was shooting in Canada, and Marvel came to Canada. It had been printed in the production office… They found out who it was, dude quit, left the country. They set up a fake buy for the script, dude didn’t show up. It was crazy.”
Jackson says since then, security is far tighter; they even shot down a drone during the shoot for Secret Invasion. “They shot one down,” Jackson says. “And they followed one back to where the dude was. They found him, and, yeah, they got him.”
