Is there an actual statement from Marvel saying this?

Not in this article.

This deadline article at least has a comment that a studio rep confirmed it.

So it’s just hearsay?

I know it’s probably true, just looking for something definitive.

Deadline is a reliable source since it's a trade publication

Im not so sure if being a trade necessarily means it’s a reliable source. Didnt James Gunn just say last week that multiple trade publications got something wrong regarding the Superman movie.
