If you mess with the Mouse, you get the ears — or the entire suite of lawyers at the Mouse’s disposal. Disney and Marvel Studios are fed up with anonymous accounts sharing “exclusive” leaks that may or may not be real. In the case of unauthorized first looks of Anthony Mackie in the next Captain America installment, the leak was very real as evident by the DMCA takedown issued by the company.

Meanwhile, everyone and their mother is blaming Donald Glover for holding up production on Peacock’s Community: The Movie. But the rapper-actor-boba-shop-owner wants you to know he is not to blame — this time at least. Back in March, co-star Joel McHale told Deadline that the movie will shoot “this year,” and the cast and crew are “basically working around Donald’s schedule.” Yet, while supporting Mr. & Mrs. Smith in the thick of its Emmy campaign, Glover insisted that he is no longer the reason Greendale Community College’s doors haven’t been reopened. Or as he himself told Deadline, “Everybody is hating on me on the internet and it’s not me. Maybe I was last year — maybe — but not this time.”
With Glover shirking responsibility, it looks like the gang will have to find another scapegoat: Things aren’t looking too good for you, Ken Jeong.
