Marvel Urges Fans to Keep ‘Thunderbolts’ Spoilers Under Wraps

by

Marvel Studios is being more relaxed with regards to potential spoilers regarding their upcoming film, “Thunderbolts.” Despite global screenings of the final Phase 5 release ahead of its official premiere, there have been whispers about significant plot details. Unlike previous releases, Marvel Studios seems to be adopting a less stringent approach to keep spoilers at bay for “Thunderbolts.

Marvel Studios requested their Instagram followers in the UK not to disclose any spoilers from the upcoming movie, Thunderbolts, during its initial weekend release. The post featured a picture of Yelena (played by Florence Pugh) seemingly holding a man captive, and a caption that read “No Spoilers.” They also advised fans to stay until the end credits.

In the blog post, Marvel requested fans not to reveal any spoilers about the movie this weekend, suggesting they should allow others to appreciate it on their own terms. The studio playfully warned that anyone disclosing spoilers might face being identified by Yelena.

Enjoy the movie without giving away any spoilers. It’s out in theaters now, and I wouldn’t want you to find yourself on Yelena’s ‘do not watch’ list…Thunderbolts* is showing now!”

*Note: The title of the film should be confirmed. “Thunderbolts” was used as a placeholder.

Audience members have been speculating for a while about potential surprises in the movie “Thunderbolts”, like whether Taskmaster’s absence from promotional materials could mean an early demise, or if the true nature of Lewis Pullman’s character Bob will be revealed, possibly answering questions about his identity that have been left unanswered until now, as the film has finally hit theaters.

Thunderbolts is steered by Jake Schreier and brings back some familiar faces from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, such as David Harbour’s Red Guardian, Sebastian Stan’s Winter Soldier, and Wyatt Russell portraying U.S. Agent. This team comes together despite their differences, collaborating under the controversial guidance of Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus).

How Marvel Prevents MCU Spoilers From Leaking

In the past, Marvel Studios has been proactive about keeping spoilers under wraps. For instance, before the debut of Deadpool and Wolverine (a pairing that famously kept many cameos secret), they delayed press screenings and social media and review embargoes as long as possible to minimize any early leaks.

Marvel Studios Vice President Nate Moore discussed changes made in inviting attendees for press screenings to minimize spoilers. Notably, there has been increased scrutiny regarding additional guests at Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) screenings.

Previously, they allowed guests. However, it seems we’ve become more restrictive, as the truth is, information can spread easily, and unfortunately, this can spoil the experience for all involved.

As a passionate fan, I must say it’s truly fascinating that Marvel Studios decided to give us a sneak peek at Thunderbolts*! They were bold enough to screen it for fans even two weeks before the official premiere, which shows great confidence in their final Phase 5 release. This early release has generated plenty of positive buzz around Thunderbolts*, but it’s also led to some spoilers being revealed prematurely.

Since the movie “Thunderbolts” has been released and is now accessible to the public, Marvel Studios’ options for managing spoilers are quite limited. One tactic they can employ is reminding people on social media. However, whether fans choose to heed these warnings is another matter entirely. Therefore, viewers who wish to steer clear of spoilers should consider watching “Thunderbolts” as soon as possible.

*Note: “Thunderbolts” is a fictional movie in this context.
