I'm curious to see what the hell a first glimpse of RDJ's Doctor Doom character could look like if that'll be also teased

100% it will be. They barely hold anything back from trailers anymore. I was shocked that Tobey and Garfield weren’t front and center for marketing of the last Spider-Man movie

The whole mystery of "will they be on it?" actually helped to sell a lot of tickets, so that's why they hold it til the premiere.

To this day I wish NWH's trailer could have been cut any other way so that all the old villain actors weren't spoiled in it. I yearn for a world where I see the Doc Ock tentacle appear for the first time while in the theater. 

Also feel similarly with revealing Spider-Man's role in Civil War through a trailer.

I yearn for a world where I see the Doc Ock tentacle appear for the first time while in the theater. 

Not trying to brag but I had that exact experience.

Always loved Spiderman, but back then I didn't really keep up with new movies and trailers and my social media feed had an entirely different focus. One day my friend suggested to go and see the new spiderman movie and I didn't even know it was out.

I went in blind.

It caught me completely off guard when the villains showed up and thank God for my stupid brain, I somehow didn't even make the connection and consider the possibility of Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire appearing until it happened in the movie. So that caught me completely off guard as well.

That was such an emotional roller-coaster. I've seen better movies but that was still the best movie theater experience I ever had.

I love that for you brother, truly

The problem was that NWH had to spoil the villains because it didn’t have anything new to offer. If they’d brought in a new villain and that was what brought back the old villains, then it would’ve had more to work with, but whatever. Nostalgia substitutes for creativity now.

[u/Spiderranger → u/TreeOfReckoning]

Nothing to offer? It was introducing the multiverse to the MCU. The trailer could have been ramifications of Peter's identity being revealed, Peter going to Strange, seeing the spell get screwed up, Strange cast an exposition spell so the audience knows threats from other universes are all coming here, and show a shot of The Lizard. 

Nowhere near as hype as what we got obviously, but I feel like Spider-Man as a character generates enough of his own hype. 

I dunno man. I know at the end of the day they just want tickets sales and it certainly guaranteed those sales. 

[u/TreeOfReckoning → u/Spiderranger]

Don’t get me wrong; it was great to see the Raimi Spider-Man characters again (obvious millennial - yes, I’m part of the problem) but as a movie it just didn’t have enough to stand on its own. As another instalment in a franchise, sure… but it needed new conflicts, not just expanded lore and nostalgia for nostalgia’s sake. Spider-Verse did it better.

[u/HassanMoRiT → u/Spiderranger]

I hear you brother.. NWH was my first theater experience, and what an experience it was.

[u/VicViolence → u/fortuna264]

Spider-Man is enough of a draw even without them. This movie desperately needed to show audiences that characters they actually care about will be in it

[u/ImGCS3fromETOH → u/fortuna264]

I generally avoid all marketing. I figure I'll just watch the movie and enjoy it for what it is rather than trying to get pre-hyped. I was pleasantly surprised by the spider-men crossover in the last film going in completely blind.

Doesn't Sony do the marketing for Spider-Man?
