This page explains how 9to5marvel reports the news: where our stories come from, how we label them, and what we do when we get something wrong. It is the standard we hold every article to, in English and in Hindi.
Sourcing and attribution
Every claim in our reporting is attributed. Confirmed news cites the studio or the trade that broke it, with a link. Scooper claims name the scooper and link to the original post. We never present someone else’s reporting as our own, and we only use the word “Exclusive” for stories that are genuinely ours.
What our stamps mean
Every story carries one stamp: Confirmed (studio or trade verification), Report (credible sourced claim), Rumour (unverified), Leak (material that surfaced early), Theory (fan speculation, framed as such), Explainer, Box Office or Review. The stamp is assigned when the story is written and upgraded when the facts change, a Rumour that gets trade confirmation becomes a Confirmed story with a note on how it developed.
Rumours and leaks
We report notable rumours because pretending they do not exist serves nobody, but we report them honestly: who is claiming it, whether anyone else corroborates it, and our own view of how plausible it is. We keep score publicly, when a rumour we covered is confirmed or debunked, we say so. For leaked images and footage we link to or embed the original source; we do not host leaked material ourselves, and we honour takedowns of copyrighted material.
Spoilers
Plot details from unreleased projects sit behind a clear spoiler warning at the top of the article. Headlines and featured images avoid giving away major spoilers for at least the opening weeks of a release.
How we write
Our newsroom uses AI-assisted research and drafting tools to move at wire speed. Every article is reviewed and approved by a human editor before publishing, and every editorial judgment, what to cover, how to stamp it, how much to believe it, is a human decision we stand behind.
Corrections
When we get a fact wrong, we fix the article and add a correction note stating what changed. When a developing story moves, we update the piece or publish a follow-up rather than quietly rewriting history. Spotted an error? Tell us via the Contact page and we will act on it quickly.
Independence
9to5marvel is independent. We are not affiliated with Marvel Studios, The Walt Disney Company or any studio. Advertising on the site never influences what we cover or how we stamp it.
