Sony is scrubbing a post-credits scene Spider-Man leak from X, using copyright claims after footage from Spider-Man: Brand New Day began circulating early this morning. The move matters because the film does not officially release until July 31, and viewers trying to avoid spoilers now have a shrinking window before opening day.
Tom Phillips on X removals
Tom Phillips said IGN saw multiple copies of the footage removed from X through copyright claims. He also said there were still other versions being hosted on social media at the time of writing, which means the takedown effort is already partial rather than complete.
July 27 is the other date that shapes this leak: Spider-Man: Brand New Day had its official premiere that day, and early previews were set to begin within a matter of hours. That timing helps explain why the footage is moving now, with some theaters clearly having access to the film before the July 31 release.
July 31 release window
IGN warned readers to avoid social media, reddit, and internet comments threads until they have seen the movie. That is the practical response for anyone who wants to stay spoiler-free, because the footage is already out in the open and every repost increases the odds of seeing plot details before release day.
Tom Phillips wrote that it is unrealistic to think Sony's legal team will likely catch every version of the footage. Sony can keep pressing copyright claims, but the leak has moved fast enough that the real battle now is speed: remove enough copies before the remaining ones spread further, or let the spoiler trail widen before July 31.

The source of the leaked post-credits scene footage is still not pinned down, and that missing piece matters more than the usual spoiler chase. If the clips came from a theater screening, the circulation pattern would be different from a private recording or another distribution point, but the practical result for readers is the same: the footage is online, and Sony is trying to make it harder to find before release.
