Kevin Feige thinks Doctor Strange 2 trailers revealed too many spoilers

It’s tough to keep the plot details of a major blockbuster under wraps, but the folks at Marvel Studios have their work cut out for them. Over the years, we’ve seen leaks from various sources — toys, concept art, and even slips of the tongue, but sometimes it’s the movie’s marketing that reveals a little too much. While on the red carpet for the world premiere of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (via ScreenRant), Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige said that he thinks that the trailers for the film have revealed too many spoilers.

There’s been too much in the trailers, I don’t want to talk about anything else. But I will say, Sam has made this movie to be experienced on as big a screen as possible, and it’s even the first one in a long time that 3D was really taken into account, too, because the first Doctor Strange film I think was our best film ever in 3D, and this one now will be right alongside that.

On the road to the release of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, trailers and TV spots have teased members of the Illuminati among other tidbits that probably would have been best left for the theater. As unpleasant as spoilers are for some, Kevin Feige is aware that at the end of the day, the movie needs to work “regardless of what has been spoiled or not.“

Starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Elizabeth Olsen, Benedict Wong, Xochitl Gomez, with Michael Stuhlbarg, and Rachel McAdams, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness finds Doctor Strange traversing the mind-bending and dangerous alternate realities of the Multiverse to confront a mysterious new adversary with the help of mystical allies both old and new. Our own Chris Bumbray released his review of the Doctor Strange sequel this morning but found that it wasn’t one of Marvel’s best. “Truth be told, this isn’t one of the A+ Marvel movies,” Bumbray wrote. “It’s not meant to be the epic Spider-Man [No Way Home] was, with this living up to Kevin Feige’s promise that this would be the Marvel version of a horror movie. In that vein, it succeeds at times, thanks to the inspired choice of Sam Raimi to direct. But, just like a lot of the solo MCU movies, it feels like a bridge before the next huge Marvel movie, and it gets off to a plodding start.” You can check out the rest of Bumbray’s review right here.
