Power on... Marvel's new X-Men movie cast reveal at D23 Expo 2026 — and why it proves leak culture is broken

Following the 2026 D23 Expo, Marvel has officially announced the cast for their upcoming X-Men movie reboot, which has reignited discussions about the reliability of industry leaks. TechRadar's Tom Power reflects on these revelations, expressing disappointment in the widespread dissemination of incorrect information and the subsequent attempts to salvage reputations.

He emphasizes the importance of not blindly trusting anonymous sources, given the fast-paced nature of the entertainment industry and the prevalence of unreliable leaks. Power highlights a rare instance of integrity among insiders, noting only one person who publicly admitted to a mistake, despite being one of the more trusted names in the field.

He argues that until official announcements are made by reputable sources, it's prudent to approach all rumors with skepticism, as the entertainment landscape is rife with misinformation.
