Amidst all this, a new video has surfaced online, purportedly showing the movie’s sets. It was reportedly filmed by a fan who allegedly snuck onto the premises. The clip — the authenticity of which has yet to be confirmed — first appeared on TikTok, posted from the handle @TheyNeverSawItComing. It shows the ‘intruder’ walking around the sets, capturing several short videos from various points. The video begins with him meandering through deserted lanes adjacent to the location before he spots an apparent entrance. Asking, “Where are the Avengers, man?” he proceeds to enter the area and casually strolls around while recording. Wearing a face mask and a hooded jacket, he is seen passing by the cast trailers and even claims to have “seen some actors.” The clip also includes images of certain sets still under construction.

Although the footage doesn’t reveal anything particularly groundbreaking, eagle-eyed MCU fans were quick to identify what appears to be the set of the Madripoor bar, which was first introduced in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. A fictional island in Southeast Asia with deep ties to the criminal underworld, Madripoor has connections with various MCU offerings, including Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Moon Knight, and Echo. “Up the security; too easy,” the fan states as he signs off.

While the original video was later taken down, it has since found its way to various social media platforms. However, it remains unclear whether the individual actually trespassed onto the set or if the video was part of a carefully planned publicity stunt by the filmmakers. “Disney is so desperate they’re paying people to break into the set for hype,” a user wrote on X (formerly Twitter). Another one pointed out, “He walked around with a backpack on, phone out like he’s recording, and that’s how someone looks if they’re supposed to be there?”

“I don’t believe this. Bros walking around recording and I’m almost positive all crew would be wearing uniforms so they know who’s who. I think this was an ‘intentional’ leak. Not like we got any interesting info out of this anyway,” a Twitterati pointed out, while another one added, “Yeah, that’s definitely not staged.”
