‘Avengers: Endgame’ Directors Admit Trailers Are Lying To You
If you were worried that the trailer for Avengers: Endgame had been manipulated to make you think certain things are happening in the upcoming movie that are, in fact, red herrings and lies, guess what? You’re right! This week, directors Anthony and Joe Russo confirmed that the various trailer for Avengers: Endgame are intentionally manipulated to not only preserve big twists in the movie but to misdirect fans ahead of time.
“The thing that’s most important to us is that we preserve the surprise of the narrative,” Joe Russo told Empire. As pointed out by SlashFilm, he also said something similar last summer, when questioned about the fact that the trailers for Avengers: Infinity War differed significantly from the final film, saying: “At our disposal are lots of different shots that aren’t in the movie that we can manipulate through CG to tell a story that we want to tell specifically for the purpose of the trailer and not for the film.”
The question now, remains, what can fans believe? Just how much of these trailers are misleading? The famous “running” shot from Infinity War never appeared in the movie, and not just because it was a deleted scene. Famously, that scene actually represented a version of a huge climactic battle scene that couldn’t have happened; the Hulk never Hulks-out in Wakanda. So which of these scenes in the Endgame trailer won’t be in the movie?
Fans already freaked out about the “missing gap” between characters in one trailer. Meanwhile, all the Avengers walking purposefully in those new white-and-red-suits also feels slightly suspicious. Is there a character there who won’t be there in the final film? The newest Endgame trailer was the first time we see Tony Stark reunited with the rest of the Avengers since heading into space in the last movie. So, what’s the deal? Does this actually happen, or has Tony been digitally inserted into this scene?
Until the movie comes out, the reality is, we will never know exactly what’s “real” and what’s “fake” in an Avengers trailer. For now, the reality stone isn’t just wielded by Thanos. It looks like Marve Studios publicity and marketing is casting all sorts of illusions. Hopefully, they won’t destroy us!
------------
Brilliant! Create some hype, satisfy our need for trailers, but preserve plot points / surprises!

If that shot of them walking together in quantum realm suits isn't in the movie, I'm rioting.

They've been doing this for years. Why are people acting like it's new to this trailer?

It's basically false advertisement, a bait-and-switch to get customers to come in expecting 1 product only to give them a different product. But it shouldn't be surprising that you support false advertising, since you support all that cheating by Shady Brady and the Cheatriots.

Hardly a deal-breaker but I hate that shit. I liked this Endgame trailer because it's kind of conservative, unlike most trailers lately that attack you with way too much movie. By the time I get to the theater, half the experience is checking off scenes from the ad. It sucks. It's a wasteland of moments better spent in the movie.
The first Infinity War trailer. I doubt there will ever be a truly satisfying explanation for why they had Hulk running alongside everyone into battle. It's one of my favorite trailers and movies from the MCU but that was bullshit. Not even bullshit in the sense that it makes me angry; I just thought it was superfluous and stupid.

I'd rather be lied to than see the whole movie in the trailers. One of the many problems with Batman v Superman was the feeling that I was checking off boxes throughout the whole movie. "Saw that in the Trailer, that too, and Oh here comes that other scene"

Forget it, I'm out. No longer want to see this. Seriously though, I thought this might be the case. It's still a great trailer and nothing was given away, sounds like a win/win to me. Can't wait!

It's better this way. Seeing as you already know that everyone is going to revived, it's best they keep the rest as much of a mystery as possible.

They did this with Infinity War, especially the first trailer. Remember Hulk running with them in Wakanda? Wasn't in the actual film.
I have no problem with it. It gives us more surprises in the actual film.

Also like the Infinity War trailer it still had footage from the film. So i'd imagine it will be the same with Endgame.

They are actually giving you the gist of the movie without giving anything away. False advertising would be if Superman was in the trailer helping them fight.

Good. In today's day and age, you have to. I used to love discussing theories and even rumors. But in the era of leaks and spoilers, not only is the fun gone, you have to avoid having a movie ruined for you.

Fascinating. Usually it annoys me when parts of the trailer aren't in the movie. This is the exception.

...most trailers lately that attack you with way too much movie. By the time I get to the theater, half the experience is checking off scenes from the ad. This is exactly why I stopped watching trailers. I used to sit there and say “This is going great, but how are they going to fit Scene X from the trailer in? We haven’t seen Scene Y or Z yet from the trailer either, so I have to wait for those.” It ruins the experience. That’s why I truly think they should’ve released a simple minute-long teaser followed by small information releases such as runtime and ticket presale dates and other things like that. Let the mystery build. People are going to want to see it even more in that case.

Almost every coming attraction I see could easily shave 30-40 seconds off and actually be better.

Movie posters have been "lying" for decades, why should trailers not try it.
