10 Genius Misdirects In MCU Movie Trailers

10. Bucky Shoots Rhodey Out Of The Sky - Captain America: Civil War

This one's elegantly simple and required nothing more than a sneaky bit of editing, but it sure as hell got fans talking.

The second trailer for Captain America: Civil War seemed to show Bucky (Sebastian Stan) shooting Rhodey (Don Cheadle) out of the sky, possibly killing him in the process.

Given that the film was centered around the conflict between Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) and Steve Rogers (Chris Evans), it absolutely tracked that Bucky shooting Rhodey would further heighten the emotional stakes of the fraught scenario, so what was there to doubt?

Yet as it turned out, these shots were actually taken from different scenes entirely: Bucky was firing his gun from a scene much later in the movie, while Rhodey was shot out of the sky by Vision (Paul Bettany), who did so accidentally.

For months fans were wondering how the MCU could possibly walk back Bucky either gravely wounding or outright killing an Avenger, and the truth is simply that he didn't do it.
