Overview
- A trailer/clip matching footage shown at CinemaCon began circulating on social media on Friday, and multiple outlets report widespread reposting despite removal attempts.
- Observers say the leaked material resembles the restricted CinemaCon presentation, which was shown to theater owners and press in April but was not cleared for public release.
- Sony Pictures is actively issuing takedown requests and investigating the source of the leak while copies continue to be reuploaded by dataminers and fan accounts.
- The circulating clip bears a visible watermark that reads “Apocalyptic Horseman, Do Not Share,” but the account named in the mark has denied being the origin and asked followers to report reposts, leaving provenance unresolved.
- Verification is complicated by advances in AI and by the film’s recent production history — including 2023 strike delays and reports of difficult working conditions — and the leak risks spoiling a high-profile movie that is set for release on June 18, 2027.
