Marvel has long been plagued with spoilers.
So, ahead of the franchise's tentpole feature, Avengers: Doomsday, the studio has tightened security to avoid leaks.
Wyatt Russell, the actor of Thunderbolts*, who portrayed John Walker/US Agent, told Comic Book, "Media training for Doomsday is they just hold a knife to your neck and said 'You say anything, and it's over.'" This demonstrates how serious Marvel is about preventing spoilers.
In another part of the interview, David Harbour, reprising his role Alexei Shostakov, stated, "It's the most terrifying stunt imaginable, doing a bunch of interviews where they go, 'So we hear you're in Doomsday?' and he's just like harnessed up."
However, those who were unrelated to Doomsday, such as Thunderbolts* director Jake Schreier, were not intimidated.
“You know what’s funny is that I feel like I never got taken into the back room and really given the talking to,” the director remarked.
"I think maybe they know it's out in the world now and you just learn not to to reveal anything," Jake speculated.
Avengers: Doomsday will be released on May 2.
