What can Marvel do to prevent spoilers? 

If any film company in the world would show adulterated movie trailers to fans and use "warnings" such as "snipers" and "prisons" to prevent actors from spoiling the plot before the film is released, Marvel would probably it.

Fans are just loving/hating their spoiler-proof actions.

On the bright side, if the content of the film can be kept completely secret before it’s released, the watching experience will be much more exciting.

Unexpectedly, Marvel's spoiler-proof even deceives its own fans!

So, what on earth did Marvel do in order to prevent spoilers? Let's check it out!

1. Primary spoiler-proof method: Fake Trailer!

Fans tend to disassemble the details in the trailer.

After all, no one can resist the "mystery game" of analyzing the main plot from all details.

But if you ask any Marvel fans these days, they'll tell you to not care about movie trailers, because they deliberately confuse the public!

After the release of “Avengers: Infinity War”, many fans found out that there was a big difference between the film and the trailer after watching them.

For example, in the trailer, there is a classic scene of Captain American leading the team running out of the woods, but there is no such scene in the film at all.

Also, Hulk appears in the trailer, but we did not see him in the movie.

In Thor: Ragnarok, the trailer shows a scene in which Hela crushes Thor's hammer. The background is obviously a wall in the city, but in the movie, the character appears by the seaside.

It can be said that this kind of "fake news" has been used in many Marvel movies, and the biggest it the IP, the falsest these elements will be.

What's more, Marvel will also mix real footage into the trailer, so that you can't tell which part to believe.

For example, before the Avengers go to the quantum shuttle, a group of people pass through the hall.

Comparing several versions of the trailer, you will discover that the characters and costumes are different, which directly makes the fans confused.

2. Intermediate spoiler-proof method: Do not give actors the scripts!

This is actually one of the more interesting ways to prevent spoilers in Marvel, because they not only show fans fake trailer, but also deceives their own actors.

Not giving actors the scripts is a relatively elementary method, because more often than not, actors would read fake scripts.

Marvel, you really pay too much to prevent spoilers.

During the period of shooting "Avengers: Infinity War", only three of the more than 40 actors had really seen the real script, and even for individual actors, they had to be cheated if they wanted to see the real script.

In an interview with the actor who played Vision, Paul Bettany, he talked about one of Marvel's spoiler-proof tactics: he read the fake script five times.

When he really couldn't understand the script, he had to call Russo brothers and they told him directly that the script he had read was fake!

Of course, this is not even the worst, because later, when he said he wanted to see the real script, he was taken to a small dark room by the director to read it.

Who would have thought that he would read the fake script again?

Now, you can imagine what kind of amazing things Marvel will do for the two who love to spoil, Holland and Mark.

Other actors' scripts, whether true or false, are at least available, but for Holland, by the end of shooting, he had no scripts to read.

The following is a Holland’s grievance in an interview:

Holland: Russo Brothers told me, “you stand here and fight with that guy, play as you like, and I said, OK, who shall I fight with?
Russo Brothers: Well, we can't tell you, it's confidential!

Holland: What does he look like?

Russo Brothers: Oh, we can't tell you, you'll spoil it!

Holland: How old is he?

Russo Brothers: We can't tell you, you'll spoil it!

At the end of this conversation, Holland wore a Spider-Man costume and fought into the air for 15 minutes, not knowing who his opponent was!

In the past, Marvel also gave Holland the script (although it was still fake), but they only allowed the actors to read it under the monitor, and they were not allowed to take it home, Once Holland took it back, so that he was forced to burn the script in live, which put Marvel at ease.

3. Advanced spoiler-proof method: No selfies on the set!

Captain America once joked in an interview: "Now there are snipers waiting outside! As soon as I open my mouth, a red crosshair will appear on my forehead!" It proves how serious Marvel is about spoiler-proof.

As a result, the meme of the Marvel Sniper has been adopted by more and more Marvel actors, such as Vision: "If I say something, I will look back to see if there's a scope on the roof aiming at me.".

Tom Hiddleston: "Let me see which window the bullet will come through."

And the funniest one about Marvel snipers is War Machine, Don Cheadle was just about to spoil it when he actually had a red dot on his head!

Although this is only the effect of the program, it can be seen that Marvel's attitude of spoiler-proof scares all the actors.

Emma Foreman, who plays Cassie, the daughter of Ant-Man, revealed during the shooting of “Avengers: Endgame” that she was called to the office by the head of Marvel's security department for an interview because she posted a sunset photo on her social media account. This anti-investigation consciousness is shocking.

4. Super spoiler-proof method: seal Holland's mouth!

Yes, Marvel's highest level of spoiler-proof is to seal Holland's mouth. This scene happened in an interview for “Avengers: Infinity War”. Star-Lord personally sealed Holland's mouth with tape.

Basically, there are always several actors around Holland to prevent him from spoiling every time there is an interview.

Like Doctor Strange:

Or Mantis:

5. Super advanced spoiler-proof method: when shooting a funeral, tell the actors it’s a wedding scene!

This description, which seems to be a joke, actually happened on the set of Iron Man's funeral in “Avengers: Endgame”. When shooting this scene, the director told some of the actors that they were going to shoot a wedding scene.

So, don't be surprised if you find that some actors have unnatural expressions when watching movies. Maybe they don't know what they are playing.

Of course, there are more ways to prevent spoilers than that.

Take Holland, for example. After a successful audition, Holland didn't know he had been chosen as Spider-Man until he received a message from his fans on Twitter.

Because Marvel didn't inform him at all.

Mark, who had a similar experience, was also directly informed by his agent who said:

"Pack your bags tomorrow morning and look out the window at 5 o'clock. If there's a car coming to pick you up, you've got the role. If there's no car, go back to sleep."

Although it seems outrageous, Marvel fans can understand that this is to ensure the audience can have the best experience when watching movies, so these methods of spoiler-proof are tolerated.

It seems that most people understand Marvel’s "good intentions", doesn’t it?
