In February, a plan was hashed out between Disney, Warner Bros., Universal, and Midjourney over discovery when it comes to their possible trial. Now, a dispute has arisen over discovery and the numerous parties need the judge to hash things out.
In June 2025, studios started to sue Midjourney. In multiple lawsuits, they claimed the AI platform was a “bottomless pit of plagiarism.” In November, Disney, Universal, and Warner Bros. consolidated their two cases into one. Their cases were similar and made similar claims against the tech company.
This case impacts the comics community as both Marvel (via Disney) and DC Comics (via Warner Bros.) are part of the plaintiffs and specifically mentioned in filings.
We haven’t see what the dispute is but will update this article with more details or a full report when a decision is made.
The date of the conference will take place on March 12.
