Several actors who play roles within the
Marvel Cinematic Universe have often joked about the team of "snipers" the company employs to keep plot and character details quiet, though the company has a reputation for being highly efficient with this measure.
Luke Cage star Mike Colter dropped by Conan O'Brien's show last night to discuss the Netflix series, and offered a glimpse of what it's like to be under the Marvel magnifying glass.
"Yeah, I mean they had a few little incidents back in the past where actors would like have their script and they would leave it accidentally on like a bench or something at a park, and then someone would find it, and not someone, a marvel-like person would find it, because they follow us, you know that right? They follow us. I'm never alone, ya know, like even now someone in the audience works for Marvel," Colter joked.
"So after awhile they got past that and they started putting them into the computer, so, if you wanted to do something you had to like put your fingerprint on there, you had to put like a little swab of your saliva, you had to put it inside this little thing, you had to send it away. I mean that's what you have to do to get the computer to open up, and then you leave it for 10 seconds, it closes again, and you have to do it all over again, so it's like this whole thing where you have to do all these passwords just to get to your own files."
While Colter may only be partly joking, Marvel's secretive and protective nature is well-documented. Just last week, UFC fighter Tyron Woodley explained how his
reveal that he had a role in
Spider-Man: Homecoming led to some trouble with the company.
