Frank Grillo, who played Crossbones in the MCU, was nearly fired by Marvel Studios multiple times for leaking news and spoilers during his tenure in the franchise.

With the MCU being the biggest movie franchise of all-time, and with scoopers and paparazzi endlessly desperate to leak footage, secrecy is of the upmost importance to Marvel Studios, and it nearly cost Grillo his job.
