Disney, Warner Bros., Universal and Midjourney Discovery Dispute Kicked to Late May

Posted on May 11, 2026 by Brett Leave a comment

In February, a plan was hashed out between Disney, Warner Bros.,Universal, and Midjourney over discovery when it comes to their possible trial. In March a dispute was brought up by the various parties over discovery and the numerous parties need the judge to hash things out.

While a conference was take place on March 12, it now looks like that has been moved until March 22. From a filing released today:

The parties have requested an informal discovery conference with Magistrate Judge A. Joel Richlin. Counsel for each party has submitted their respective positions and the issue will be adjudicated in accordance with the Magistrate Judge’s procedure.

Date/Time: May 22, 2026 at 09:00 AM

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.

Below is the original dispute document as well as the latest filing:

Gargoyles/Darkwing Duck #4

POP GOES THE WORLD! Time has run out for the stalwart champions of New York City and St. Canard, as Demona unleashes the diabolical Paddywhack from his jack-in-the-box confinement and directs him to destroy all of humanity — and all of duckdom as well, just for good measure! Can Goliath and Darkwing hold Paddywhack at bay long enough for reinforcements to arrive in the form of Gosalyn, Launchpad, Morgana, and the rest of Manhattan Clan? And even if they do, will all of their combined strength be enough to overcome Demona’s Quackronomicon-enhanced chaos? Find out in the explosive finale that is Gargoyles/Darkwing Duck #4 — energetically encoded by creative companions GREG WEISMAN, TAD STONES, and CIRO CANGIALOSI, with properly portentous covers provided by STONES, CANGIALOSI, CARLO LAURO, and IVAN BIGARELLA!

Disney Villains: Gaston #2

ALL FOR ONE, AND ONE FOR… HIMSELF, REALLY! After completely innocently stumbling into the King’s private hunting ground and being most unjustly arrested for trespassing, Gaston — the world’s greatest tracker, in case you hadn’t heard — finds himself pressed into service by the cunning Comte du Soufflé and tasked with retrieving an amulet from a mysterious alchemist. Quite uncharacteristically, Gaston bungles the job (no doubt the fault of his oafish sidekick, LeFou) and is transformed into a squirrel for his trouble. But the joke will be on his detractors, for nothing, not even radical reductions in stature, status, and species, can hold back the greatness that is Gaston — a certainty that he will easily demonstrate just as soon as he evades the horde of angry animals now pursuing him! Dedicated dramatists GREG PAK, FRED VAN LENTE, and MILENA CICCARELLO exhaust their supply of superlatives in capturing the glory that is Disney Villains: Gaston #2 — featuring deservedly doting covers by CICCARELLO, LESLEY “LEIRIX” LI, TED BRANDT & RO STEIN, and WILL ROBSON!
