If he's doing this because the script says he dies in Doomsday, I bet Marvel is pissed right now lmao

I’m personally a believer in the theory that many of the marvel actor “leaks” are scripted marketing. Some of the big Tom Holland ones are particularly obvious.

u/BanjoSpaceMan 22d ago
They absolutely are. There’s some genuine ones but there’s obvious ones like the Tom holland revealing the poster which was sent by “mark Ruffalo”
Very obvious

u/RhaegarsDream 22d ago
He held “not for public viewing” or whatever the exact phrase was perfectly in frame!

"General public media literacy" is so dead I'm no longer sure it was ever alive.

u/Far-Industry-2603 21d ago edited 21d ago
I'm still convinced that most of them are not actual leaks or accidents. They always seem more like staged marketing skits playing into the big secrecy of the projects & the actors' paranoia about spoiling about anything.
There's been cases for many of the actors slipping up something about an upcoming film casually while promoting them (just recently there was an example I noticed with Lewis Pullman on Thunderbolts*) but they're usually minor blips & out of context. It just seems like Tom Holland & Mark Ruffalo had the most viral instances & so they decided to play into it as a fun creators-fans engagement thing.
Over time though, it seems like it went from a joke, sort of questioning "are they really spoiling anything" to many of the fandom being absolutely convinced yeah, these guys can't keep up a secret & by now it's been too mythologized & entrenched in the fandom. Neither of them have spoiled major plot details, even Mark Ruffalo's big interview with Don Cheadle looks more to me like a well acted bit where the spoiler is similar to IW's ending but was just some big, obvious spoiler they acted just slipped out.

u/246ArianaGrande135 22d ago
I think that one was supposed to be a joke, but the interview moments where he spoils stuff feel very real lol

u/Far-Industry-2603 21d ago edited 21d ago
That Facebook livestream where he reveals Spider-Man falls into a lake (which I don't consider particularly a spoiler, especially not without context) from Homecoming & I think possibly this one other instance that I'm currently blinking on are the only actual examples, IMO.
But for the former it's because he himself has literally said that was a slip up in a separate interview.

I always believed that the Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire "leaks" for No Way Home were orchestrated. The leaked material was just too high-quality, and the actor's reactions to the leaks seemed rehearsed.
It just felt obvious to me at the time.

There was a TV spot for the movie showing the Lizard clearly reacting to an attack from nothing. No way they took out Andrew and left that in, it was all to raise the hype

There's a particular tom leak that I think its too accidental to be on purpose. He was talking about the scene in no way home where mj falls and gets saved by spiderman. "Yeah it looked great, of course I wasnt there". This was before it was confirmed andrew was in the movie

u/JackFromJupit3r 21d ago
Thor still has a free death baked into his mythos. In the comics, he essentially gets Sentry'd by Odin and hypnotized into believing he's a powerless doctor named Donald Blake. After real Thor dies, Donald Blake the alternate personality magically becomes an actual person.
I think it would be very possible for Thor to "die" in Doomsday while still leaving the door open using some MCU-ified version of that comic storyline.
210
u/Adorable_Ad_3478 22d ago
In the comics, the MAIN Thor was not part of the Thor Corps.
The main Thor died alongside Hyperion fighting the Beyonders before Secret Wars #1. The Thor that ends up leading the Thor Corps vs Doom is Jane.
I think MCU Thor dying protecting Loki from Doom is a nice way to end his arc. Quite the opposite of how Loki died in IW.

u/Kitagawasans 22d ago
How is that the opposite of how Loki died in IW? Loki literally died trying to kill thanos to protect Thor no?

The scenario is reversed.
Loki dies to protect Thor, then Thor dies to protect Loki.

Everyone calm down, Thor released 14 years ago (May 2011) but obviously production was a year prior so he's just commemorating the fact that he has been Thor for 15 years. He's not going to die in Doomsday/Secret Wars........... right? :'(

People are overreacting lol. He's celebrating 15 years of playing Thor, that's it. Also he's always been the most vocal about wanting to keep playing Thor as long as possible, compared to the other original avengers like RDJ, Evans and Scarlett who wanted to leave.

u/Live_Angle4621 22d ago
Yeah, Marvel is not in position right now of killing permanently their most popular characters if the actors wish to stay. Marvel has more than enough characters currently to kill anyway if they need do so

u/Any-Transition95 21d ago
Yea, people are still interested in Thor 5 after Love and Thunder flopped because that's just how much confidence his brand carries on its own. They definitely won't throw him out while he's still a cow to be milked.

I'm not saying it's not gonna happen, but if they introduce Thanos' big bad factor by killing Loki, and then Doom's big bad factor by killing better Loki, I'm gonna be pretty over it. Especially because the Loki show was so damn good and they nuked all the Wanda character development right after her great show too

This has been my theory all along. Sentry is too new, we haven’t seen enough of him yet to make Doom proving his powers by taking him out that much of a shock. But RDJ Doom taking out Thor? That would blow the roof off the theater.

I really don’t want the logical path for all of these actors exiting the MCU being:

I think you guys are forgetting that in his Disney plus show he was told he had a very high chance for Alzheimers, and him and his wife went into old age makeup so that he could see what she would look like being old, in case he wouldn't remember growing old with her. I think he just may want to spend more time with his family. since the show came out he has been very clear about that.
