US Edition‘Surpassing All My Expectations’: Midjourney Releases First AI Video Model Amid Disney, Universal Lawsuit
- On June 18, 2025, Midjourney launched version 1 of its AI video model, V1, available for $10/month through Discord and the web.
- The launch followed a copyright-infringement lawsuit filed days earlier by Disney and NBCUniversal, accusing Midjourney of unauthorized use of copyrighted characters.

- Midjourney’s launch signals a shift toward multimedia content but faces ongoing legal challenges that could influence AI training practices and platform operations.
