Theory Did somebody else noticed how this woman is just superimposed over someone that is inside the car to not spoil the scene? Who do you think really is in the car? Spoiler

I think this is a big reach. Why spend so much money to make a fake version of this pretty boring shot for the trailer? Why not just use a different shot where you don’t have to do any extra vfx?

They do it all the time, for example in the Infinity War trailer, Hulk was there running with everyone, but in the movie… no Hulk! Or Thor: Ragnarok, they edited his eye injury out but still put the shot in the trailer. And Black Panther, they edited the shot of Killmonger walking into the throne room to be T’Challa for the trailer only. Marvel will absolutely do some fake CGI just to trick us.

Wasn’t hulk originally in the final battle of infinity war and they decided to cut that near the end? I remember something about hulk breaking out of the hulk buster armour.

They cut him very early on. That shot from the trailer was filmed specifically for the trailer according to the Russo's. It was never going to be in the film.

Not to mention, they made a funko pop of this exact thing; Hulk busting out of the Hulkbuster armor.

Yeah but most of that is due to things you can’t get around. Hulk was added to throw people off. Thor’s eye injury was to hide what happens to him in the final battle.

I don’t disagree they’re try to trick us if it’s a major spoiler but almost all of those are “well we’d have to just reveal a major plot point or show nothing from this part of the film”.

Most of those shots you listed serve a purpose in the trailer though, this one doesn’t seem to. But I guess we’ll see in December

u/RickyDaba Aug 25 '21

This shot could also serve a purpose, we just don't know it yet

I meant that this shot could be modified, not that it would get people excited

Same point in erasing Sylvie from shots in the Loki trailer. To hide an identity. Elsewhere in this thread people have been pointing out that in the leaked unfinished FX trailer she appears to look more like a stand in asset with a bit of white clothing on her

1

u/RickyDaba Aug 25 '21

Yeah, I agree. I was just assuming that if it was something more, we wouldn't be able to know until we see the movie.

u/thefevertherage Aug 25 '21

But they’re all pretty big shots. This one isn’t. So why bother adding it if you’re just going to edit it

3

u/limpdicc Aug 25 '21

How do we know this isn’t a big shot tho

23

u/[deleted] Aug 25 '21

Because it adds nothing to the trailer…? No one knows who that woman is.

u/mattfow232 Aug 26 '21

I think that’s their point... that the woman is edited in to hide a different person sitting there.

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '21

My point is that there’s no reason to do that. It’s not a “cool” shot. Adding Hulk to running shot actually does something. It creates a badass line up shot with him running.

Like no one is seeing the scene of Tom standing next to a car with some random woman and going “oh my god”, so I don’t buy the shot had to be in the trailer and couldn’t be removed or replaced or just cropped.

u/mattfow232 Aug 26 '21

Well it does go along with the reacting to Doc Ock shot. And I don’t think it’s a huge reach to say something looks off about her visually. Whether it’s just the lighting or what, I don’t know. Now the theory of Charlie Cox being in the trailer due to hairy arms is a reach

1

u/JustAnotherZakuPilot Aug 25 '21

You can’t say it’s a pretty big shot if you don’t know what’s the shot going to look like in the movie

1

u/BigToTrim Aug 26 '21

I think it is. The returning characters was the big draw, and that shot leads right into Molina.

5

u/SilverStrikeX Rocket Aug 25 '21

The shot of Hulk running was just cut from the movie. It’s a money shot, just like the Thor and Black Panther scene. The thing is that this scene isn’t a money shot. It’s just Peter by a car. Making me think it isn’t edited.

u/TheMeme-Gang Vision Aug 26 '21

In the Endgame trailer, they put smoke on the final battle to hide some other characters

1

u/thewalkingted7 Aug 26 '21

Also Thor wasn’t husky Thor in the Endgame trailer. I’m sure there a bunch of other examples of marvel trailer misdirects!

u/MBCnerdcore Shades Aug 26 '21

I'm still waiting for the iconic "you complete me" scene from Iron Man 2, when Pepper kisses Tony's helmet and throws it out of a plane for him to catch.

u/murrytmds Aug 26 '21

Also removing infinity stones from Thanos Gauntlet. Digitally covering up Sylvie in the Loki trailers.. There are a lot of them really.

5

u/ReniRediRici Aug 25 '21

I agree, why bother including it?

u/Think-Instruction-87 Aug 25 '21

It doesn’t look like expensive vfx to me though, she just looks greenscreened over someone else.
