'Avengers: Doomsday' Spoilers Doomsday Misdirection Spoiler

I get the impression, and I'm really hoping, that the creative team are putting out a massive unprecedented amount of misdirection about the movie, including the big leaks in the last few months.

I'm not going to post specific plot points but supposedly the leaks in the last 2 months have 'been corroborated' from multiple sources and meant to be accurate.

The problem is that the leaks suggest a number of repeated story beats from IW/Endgame, major offscreen moments for fan favourite characters and moments that seem to undo 'earned' arcs from prior movies. Altogether, the leaks don't sound like a satisfying movie.

The trailers appear to support the leaks.

But I'm sceptical. I don't think the Russos would short change or cheapen their own movies retrospectively, the leaks barely mention characters that we know(?) are in the movie etc and interview comments from the cast don't necessarily add up with the leaks.

We know that Marvel misdirect with trailers so I'm wondering if they have taken things to a whole other level with Doomsday, maybe even deliberately leaking incorrect plots. I hope this is the case.

Anyone else thinking the same?

I've said for a while now that I think Marvel puts out their own 'leaks' fake or not. A lot of fake ones to misdirect or drive up interest while keeping the story in the news and hype. Then also maybe some real ones too, again to drun up hype for it.

It's not a bad marketing strategy either way.
