11 Times Movie Studios Stupidly Spoiled Their Own Secrets

4. Marvel Spoiled The Vision One Day Before Age Of Ultron's Release

The Secret: Though brief glimpses of Paul Bettany's new hero The Vision have been glimpsed in the marketing for Avengers: Age of Ultron, Marvel have been pretty determined to keep these appearances brief. The nature of his role in the movie was kept almost completely secret. How It Was Spoiled: On April 22nd, merely a day before the movie was due to release in the UK and other countries, Bettany appeared on The One Show, where a clip of The Vision's entrance was shown, including his brief tussle with Thor (Chris Hemsworth). Given that The Vision was hardly a selling point for the movie, it seemed totally pointless for Disney to give this clip away so close to release, and why did they only give it to The One Show anyway? Bizarre and totally unnecessary given that it demystifies what turns out to be a significant part of the film.
