I agree. Convenient leak timing. People love leaks or scoops/rumors. Keeps your movie or name in the news - continued exposure. Any news is good news. Applies to everything except rape or assault.When I say it’s all part of the plan i’m referring to this modern age of “spoiler” cinema where social media is a large marketing component.
The actors and their agents know very well that this is now part of their contractual duties.
It’s not about lying or being a dumbass it’s all about marketing.
If Sony/Disney wanted too they could just as easily release an official statement confirming their involvement but they calculated in their board rooms that this method will reap bigger rewards for them in the long run.
Just have fun with it.
Now if they are not in the movie, and they are, MCU rioters will make Snyder fans look like amateurs lol
