Mark Ruffalo Leaks Part of 'Thor: Ragnarok'
by EG
Marvel Studios has gone to great lengths to prevent early leaks of the upcoming Thor: Ragnarok, going so far as to take away mobile devices from viewers at screenings. It seems that they also need to keep a closer eye on the movie's stars, one of whom let fans listen to part of a screening of the film. Mark Ruffalo forgot to turn off his Instagram Live feed before the Los Angeles premiere of the movie began, leading to a hilarious situation.
Mark Ruffalo on Tuesday night accidently streamed (audio only) a portion of Thor: Ragnarok from the Los Angeles world premiere when he forgot to turn off his Instagram live.

To introduce the screening, the Bruce Banner/Hulk actor, who stars in the new film, hit the stage to huge applause at the El Capitan Theatre when he and his co-stars were announced by a recording of castmate Jeff Goldblum (in character as the Grand Master).

Ruffalo was pointing his phone at the audience to capture the moment, but apparently, he put his phone in his pocket while the social media platform was still running after using it to give fans a closer look at the event.
About 2,500 people were on the stream, listening and commenting over how long it would take before Ruffalo ended the broadcast.
Ruffalo and the crowd could be heard laughing at scenes. Audio from the film was clearly audible.
Around 8:15 p.m., Ruffalo stopped the live feed. It is unclear if someone told him it was still running or if it cut out on its own.
