Images of Andrew Garfield in the Spider-Man suit were circulating before Spider-Man: No Way Home was released, now we have an explanation as to why it was leaked.
The movie Spider-Man: No Way Home It has been a brutal success raising more than 1,892 million dollars, so the leaks and SPOILERS did not cause people not to go to the movies, quite the opposite. A few months before its premiere, there was a highly commented image where it looked like Andrew Garfield it was on a scaffold and behind it was a blue chroma key screen. That scene belongs to the final battle at the Statue of Liberty, but obviously before we saw it on the big screen we didn’t know that.
But… How could that Andrew Garfield scene in Spider-Man: No Way Home be leaked? Knowing how Marvel likes to keep secrets, it’s hard to conceive of a leak that big. The VFX supervisor of Digital Domain, Kelly Portspoke about the issue and blamed a “third-party provider.”
“It’s just thousands of people. For example, our VFX team was by far the largest team in existence, and often leaks don’t necessarily come from VFX. In this case, I think they did, or a third-party provider is where I think the leak really came from. I think the main thing that keeps people from doing it is that they’re going to lose their job forever.”
“As a studio, when Marvel/SONY sends a sequence to a visual effects studio to start work, we call it rotation. And then when they receive that, it’s usually sent as a stream, and their name is watermarked on the whole thing…That’s kind of preventative medicine.”
It seems that the leaks with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness are much more contained than in Spider-Man: No Way Home. So we will have to wait for this installment of Marvel Studios to know all the surprises they have prepared.
