15 Actors That Let Details From Their Projects Slip While Promoting Them

It’s so fun to see actors excited and passionate about their upcoming projects, especially when they’re ready to share them with the rest of the world.

On occasion, that excitement can spill over and before you know it, spoilers slip out.

Sometimes, it’s not that big of a deal and it goes relatively under the radar. In this day and age, it tends to blow up a bit bigger though.

Most people only slip up once or twice, but some actors have reputations as serial offenders. Here are the best of both.

1. Tom Holland, spoiler-in-chief, has reportedly had information restricted from him for fear he might slip up during a press tour.

Even though there were rumors of a cast member leaving and a character death was being teased during the season, OC fans were straight-up not okay with Marissa Cooper’s demise.

3. Michael Keaton gave away a pretty major Batman spoiler THE DAY BEFORE the iconic film was released on Late Night With David Letterman.

Since he only slipped to a local newspaper and social media and fandom weren’t things yet, it went mostly unnoticed.

6. Ian McShane was talking about his character in Game Of Thrones and revealed he’d only be in one episode, AND that he was bringing back a character everyone thought was dead.

Thankfully, the press honored the request to keep the reveal under wraps.

8. Dave Bautista revealed he was filming a fourth Avengers film before it was officially announced.

Like, she basically gave away the whole movie’s plot…

10. Mark Ruffalo failed to end a live stream he did before a Thor: Ragnarok screening and ended up leaking audio of the first 10 minutes of the movie before realizing his error.

13. Anne Hathaway wasn’t responsible for David Letterman spoiling the end of The Dark Knight Rises, but she couldn’t turn the moment around either.

“This whole journey of him going to become the king,” Momoa said, without realizing what he’d said. “I think the last, last frame of this movie of this movie, you’re gonna see him actually become what he’s destined to be.”

15. An extra named Tyler Nelson revealed soooo many details about Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull to a local paper, prompting a lawsuit from Lucasfilm for violating his non-disclosure agreement (NDA).

They ultimately settled, but it was hard for the extra, who was entirely edited out of the film, to get work after it.
