‘Quantumania’ Was So Bad Marvel Forgot About Hunting Down the Leaker

The autopsy was underway on Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania long before the Marvel Cinematic Universe blockbuster landed on Disney Plus last week, but even the option of revisiting the divisive blockbuster on streaming hasn’t softened many stances.
It’s easy to see why when the Quantum Realm caper disappointed on virtually every conceivable front both onscreen and off, with a muddled narrative and turgid CGI soup joining forces with non-existent stakes and oodles of expository world-building to deliver one of the franchise’s worst-performing titles ever on both a critical and commercial level.
Writer Jeff Loveness has regularly been dragged over hot coals for the screenplay – which may or may not have ended with his removal from Avengers: The Kang Dynasty depending on whether or not you choose to believe internet whispers – but the criticism of the script has completely overshadowed Marvel attempting to root out the source of a leak that ended with one of Reddit’s most popular forums being shuttered.
Plenty of jokes flew in the aftermath about Kevin Feige sending his snipers after the culprit, but since the story first broke back in mid-March, we haven’t heard so much as even a minor development.
It might sound a touch on the conspiratorial side, but maybe the studio decided that there was no point mounting legal action and doling out punishment for the sake of one solitary person dropping a near-complete copy of Quantumania‘s pages for the world to see, for the sole reason that the end result took such a trashing it instantly became a moot point the day it hit theaters.
