For over a decade, I avoided Marvel leakages and spoilers like the pester. I wanted to be stunned and awed by what the MCU needed to show me, and typically, Marvel Studios provided. At least, that was the case throughout the Infinity Saga, which wrapped up with Spider-Man: Far From Home in 2019. Four years later, I find myself not only less worried about being ruined but actually having more enjoyable following the leakages than the MCU itself.
Needless to say, this article will include some MCU spoilers.

It's difficult to keep in mind now, but there was once a time when the MCU was shrouded in secrecy. None of us understood what the future held for the Avengers, Thanos, or the other heroes and villains in their orbit. Gradually but certainly, the iron grip of Marvel Studios and Disney started to loosen up, and eventually, entire film plots were leaking online.
I was as invested as anyone in the MCU, so I wished to conserve the surprises for the theater. As such, I 'd do whatever I might to prevent spoilers on the web, including forcing my manager to edit the majority of our coverage of the most amazing leakages. However over the in 2015 or two, throughout Marvel's prolonged cold streak, my sensations about leaks changed dramatically.
Conserve for a couple of, Marvel's current programs and motion pictures have been underwhelming. As we've noted numerous times, all four of Marvel's lowest-rated projects-- Eternals, Thor: Love and Thunder, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, and Secret Invasion-- premiered in the last three years. In turn, my financial investment in the overarching story started to subside.
At the same time, leaks about upcoming Marvel projects grew in frequency and accuracy. There's a cast of scoopers nearly as large as the Avengers now, and they share tidbits about unreleased programs and motion pictures on a weekly or perhaps everyday basis.
(This is your last opportunity to prevent spoilers.)
In the past week alone, respected scoopers CanWeGetSomeToast and MyTimeToShineHello have actually shared the following Marvel Cinematic Universe leaks on X (formerly Twitter):
These 2 specifically are best far more often than they're wrong. Others with strong track records consist of Grace Randolph, Daniel Richtman, Jeff Sneider, and Alex Perez. In fact, Perez released a post on Monday for The Cosmic Circus in which he declares that Marvel is planning to adapt the Time Runs Out comics storyline for Doctor Strange 3.

It's clear that far a lot of leaks have actually sprung for Disney to stand any possibility of plugging them all. Similar to the smart device launches that we cover every year, it is more unexpected when the business have the ability to shock us with anything by the time they really announce the devices. The future of the MCU is as mysterious as the iPhone 15.
But as dissatisfied as I've been with Marvel's output lately, the leaks remind me that all of these tasks have possible. Time Runs Out is an actually awesome event series that leads right into Secret Wars, and provided Doctor Strange's connection to the Illuminati (who play a key role in the Secret Wars comics), a Doctor Strange sequel could be the ideal vessel for this story.
See! So much potential! Whether Marvel Studios really profits from that capacity is an issue for a future version of me. In the meantime, the leaks have actually advised me why I was so ecstatic about the MCU for over a years, even when the studio misfired.
Possibly after this strike-induced pause, Marvel Studios can discover a way to repair whatever broke in the consequences of Avengers: Endgame. Since after a while, even the leaks will begin to lose their appeal if the resulting movies and shows never ever live up to their capacity.
