Trailers are something that makes one get excited for watching movies hence why it’s used by advertising companies to promote any movie.
Trailers are movie clips that are usually released before movies are released to advertise the movies to the audiences. These short movie clips show audiences what kind of movie they will get to watch and what characters are present in the movie.
Audiences are influenced by these short clips of movie trailers to go watch the whole movie in theaters. This results in the movies earning revenue from the movie and also promotes the production house to the audiences.
Some movie trailers can be very short for 3 seconds while others can be 5 minutes long. The length of short advertisement clips of movies depends on the movie genre. In this article we have listed the top 23 movie trailers that revealed major plots, twists, characters and scenes from the movie.
23 Movies Trailer That Revealed Major Twists In The Movie
Here are 23 movie trailers that revealed major twists in the movie including plot points, scenes, characters and twists. When Reddit user WikipediaBurntSienna asked a question “Which movie trailers spoiled their movie the worst?” on Reddit and people had a lot to say.
Here’s what they said about movie trailers that relieved major points from the movie.
Batman vs Superman: Dawn Of Justice
u/mithridateseupator says, “Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice. It very blatantly showed them teaming up after their fight, and also did a full reveal for Wonder Woman.”
Another reddit user, u/Timmah73 shares similar view about the trailer saying, “Showing Wonder Woman’s surprise entrance to block Doomsday’s laser eyes was a two-pronged WTF, spoiling the moment where she comes in to save Batman as well as showing everyone ‘Oh BTW Doomsday is in this,’ so clearly they will be teaming up to fight it.”
Castaway
u/Funandgeeky says, “Castaway gives away that he makes it back home.” u/Dymarob says, “I’ve never seen the movie in its entirety, but even so, I know about the kiss in the rain and the ‘I KNEW you were alive!.”
How to Train your Dragon 2
u/Sad-Artichoke-2174 says “How to Train your Dragon 2. They show Hiccup’s mother returning, and spoil the entire emotional punch of the move.”
The Truman Show
u/Squeezings1 says, “The Truman Show. It literally shows him leaving in the trailer. Totally ruined it for me.”
u/SonofMightyJoe says, “Knowing he made it out completely ruins the entire thrill of knowing if he’ll make it out and completely ruins several scenes.”
Thor: Ragnarok
u/jopausl says, “All the promotion material for Thor: Ragnarok gave away that the Hulk was gonna appear in the movie. How hype would it have been if you didn’t know the Hulk was going to be in the movie?”
u/Bardmedicine says, “I usually avoid trailers. Thor: Ragnarok reveals not only the Hulk being in it, but in what role killed what should have been an all time audience pop moment. Imagine that moment where you come to realize it as the green smoke rises and then you see some masks in the audience.”
Captain America: Civil War
u/Qwerkie says, “This is exactly how I feel about Spider-man being in Civil War. How wild would it have been to go in not knowing that? After that, I swore I’d never (intentionally) watch an MCU trailer again.”
Interstellar
u/Hyperion-Cantos says, “My friend and I still agree that the ‘those aren’t mountains…they’re waves’ scene in Interstellar would’ve been the most mind-blowing moment in a movie that had a number of memorable ones, had it not been entirely spoiled by the trailer. To this day, it’s still the reason I avoid all trailers except for the occasional teaser.”
Terminator 2
u/WikipediaBurntSienna says, “For Terminator 2, it was spoiled that Arnold’s Terminator wasn’t a killer robot. As I watched the movie, I felt like they could have made it a mind-blowing twist that he was actually there to protect the Connors rather than kill them.”
Terminator: Salvation
u/ItsArseniooooooooooo says,”Terminator Salvation kept the trend going by revealing Sam Worthington was a Terminator in the trailer.”
Terminator: Genisys
u/Timmace says, “Terminator: Genisys spoiled that John Connors was a Terminator in it for some reason. Terminator and revealing trailers are an iconic duo,” just like the other Terminator movies.
Kingsman: The Golden Circle
Reddit user, u/hank28 says, “Kingsman: The Golden Circle. Showing Colin Firth coming back to life took all the weight out of the reveal in the movie.”
Blade Runner 2049
u/SculpinIPAlcoholic says, “Supposedly Dennis Villeneuve wanted it to be a surprise twist when Deckard showed up in Blade Runner 2049, but the studio said they needed Harrison Ford on all of the promotional material to sell the movie.”
The Amazing Spider-Man 2
u/spaceraingame says, “The Amazing Spider-Man 2 showed a ton of shots of Gwen falling that mirrored her death scene in the comics (as well as with her wearing about the same outfit as her character wears during her death in the comics), as well as shots of Peter crying over what looks like it may be blonde hair, and Peter at a funeral.”
Another user u/FightTheFlower says, “It also spoiled that Rhino would be in the film — showing footage from literally the last scene in the movie.”
Get Out
u/National-Salt says, “The trailer for Get Out has a shot from near the end of the movie where his girlfriend Rose has her hair slicked back and aims a rifle at someone outside the house with a menacing look. It was quick, but enough to confirm to me that she would be a villain.”
Star Wars: Episode I
“The Phantom Menace. People would have shit bricks seeing Maul’s double saber for the first time,” says u/bishop375.
Quarantine
u/Dymarob says, “Quarantine’s trailer showed the final scene of Angela being dragged away by the infected. I haven’t seen the movie, but my brother told me he was so disappointed when he realized while he was watching it that it was the final shot of the movie.”
Oblivion
Reddit user u/domin8r says,”Oblivion was a big one for me. It’s not the only twist of the movie but in the story the protagonist has to deal with aliens, but then it turns out to be humans. Quite an interesting twist in the story if they had not shown the whole thing in the trailer.”
The Godfather Part II
u/Doc-Spock reveals the trailer for The Godfather Part II saying, “The Godfather Part II shows Hyman Roth get shot.”
Avengers (2012)
u/GILx87 says, “2012’s Avengers. Hulk caught Iron Man when he returned back to earth from the wormhole. I imagine how much more powerful that moment would’ve been had I not seen it in the trailer.”
Ransom
u/Binary101010 says, “Ransom. [The trailer gave away] the mid-film twist, wherein Mel Gibson’s character decides to take all the money he’s accumulated to pay the ransom and instead posts it as a bounty on the kidnappers. That really feels like something that should have been held back.”
Soylent Green
u/porkchopexpress76 says, “What is Soylent Green?’ Proceeds to show body bags on a conveyor belt…” about the movie trailer of Soylent Green.
Superman III (1983)
u/watchman28 says, “An older one, but the trailer for Superman 3 literally shows the end of the movie, with Richard Pryor’s character, who up to then has been a villain, albeit a mostly accidental one, saying ‘thank you brother’ to Superman after he saves him.”
Sing
Reddit user u/lanceturley says, “The trailers for both of the Sing movies give away every major plot beat and character arc for the entire ensemble cast. Literally every scene is a side character telling one of the leads they won’t achieve their goal, followed immediately by a shot of said character achieving the goal.”
