Trailers That Gave Away Major Plot Details
Trailers, a delicate dance of enticing glimpses and subtle revelations, possess the power to both captivate and inadvertently divulge. It's an art often traversed on a tightrope, where the challenge lies in balancing allure with restraint. In the world of cinema, sometimes there are instances where these previews, in their eagerness to lure audiences, end up revealing major plot details or unforeseen twists. This double-edged sword can take away the element of surprise. Check out the times when trailers gave away major twists or hype moments in the film. Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice: In ‘Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice,’ it was pretty obvious that Batman and Superman teamed up after their showdown, and they also revealed Wonder Woman entirely in the trailer. The whole third act was spoiled. How to Train Your Dragon 2: The trailer reveals Hiccup's mother's return, which kind of ruins the emotional impact of the movie. The way they show Valka's return seemed very awkward to the audience. Thor: Ragnarok: Thor: Ragnarok's promotion spilled the beans about the Hulk's appearance, taking away the excitement of a surprise. Picture the scene: the movie starts, green smoke swirls, and suddenly, the audience gasps in surprise at the unexpected sight of the Hulk. That moment could have been legendary if it wasn't spoiled beforehand. Kingsman: The Golden Circle: The revival of Colin Firth's character in ‘Kingsman: The Golden Circle’ spoiled the big reveal in the movie.
Halle Berry Was Tricked Into ‘X-Men’ Role
Hollywood is no stranger to behind-the-scenes stories and controversies, and the world of superhero films is certainly not exempt. Recently, director Matthew Vaughn, known for his work on ‘X-Men: First Class’ and as a writer and producer for ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past,’ spilled some beans at New York City Comic-Con. He claimed that Halle Berry, who portrayed the iconic character Storm in the X-Men franchise, was "tricked" into her role in the third installment of the series, ‘X-Men: The Last Stand.’ The story begins with Vaughn's involvement with the X-Men series. He had initially signed on to direct ‘X-Men: The Last Stand,’ but eventually withdrew from the project. His decision to step down was attributed to a rather unusual script he stumbled upon. Vaughn recounted the incident, stating, "One of the main reasons I quit 'X-Men 3,' and this is a true story, I went to an executive’s office and I saw an 'X3' script. It was a lot fatter." Curiosity piqued, Vaughn read this mysterious script. To his surprise, he discovered that it contained an additional scene involving Halle Berry's character, Storm, in Africa, where she would use her powers to save children from a lack of clean water. Vaughn found this concept intriguing and inquired about it. The response he received was: "This is the Halle Berry script because she hasn't signed on yet. This is what she wants it to be. And once she signs on, we'll throw it in the bin." This left Vaughn taken aback, prompting him to reflect on the treatment of an Oscar-winning actress like Halle Berry. It's important to note that Berry eventually returned to reprise her role as Storm in ‘X-Men: The Last Stand,’ but the film did not include any of the scenes Vaughn mentioned.
