10 Movie Trailers That Don't Spoil ANYTHING

10. Godzilla (2014)

Judging by the trailer of the 2014 Godzilla reboot, it was assumed that Bryan Cranston's character, Joe, would be going head-to-head with the King of Monsters. Anyone who saw the movie was surprised to learn that Joe never interacts with Godzilla at any point.

Instead, he and several other scientists attempt to stop a wave of destruction caused by a chrysalis that harbours a bat-like kaiju called MUTO (Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organism). When the Muto awakens, it destroys the facility that Joe resides in, killing him.

Seeing Muto for the first time threw off viewers since the trailer gave no indication that there were any monsters in the film save for the titular character. The final shot in the teaser is of a battle between the two kaiju but the Muto was removed so audience members would be none the wiser.

The audience was also shocked to see the film pull a Psycho and kill off the main star so early in the film. Although it was disappointing that Bryan Cranston didn't appear more, his death was all the more effective since the audience genuinely believed he would survive until the end.
