10 Marvel Cinematic Universe Surprises The Trailers Ruined
4. The Winter Soldier - Nick Fury's Fake Death
In all fairness to Captain America: The Winter Solider its trailers gave none of the movie's biggest secrets away, unless you count the identity of the titular character, but it played a dangerous game throughout its promo campaign.
Earlier trailers teased the apparent death of Nick Fury - who was, of course, revealed to have faked his demise late on in the film - but it was easy to see through this ruse after studying all of the movie's teasers and TV spots.
Footage of the SHIELD agent from Winter Soldier's third act cropped up in subsequent trailers, and while fans had no real way of knowing these scenes were from later in the movie, they would have figured that out at the cinema when said footage failed to materialise before Fury's "death".
Some might even argue that suggesting the one-eyed badass dies at all was a spoiler that should have been held back for release day.
