Marvel has been quite strict when it comes to gatekeeping their exclusive content before its release. But actors like Tom Holland and Mark Ruffalo have made this challenging by accidentally spilling the beans on several occasions. This has forced the studio to take extreme measures to secure its secrets.
Although the duo has accidentally spilled the beans about their projects, their Marvel co-star, Kurt Russell, in contrast, has an unwavering commitment to secrecy. However, he once gave a dire warning to his family after revealing that he spoiled a major moment of his project to them.
Kurt Russell’s Dire Warning That Sets Him Apart
Kurt Russell is a Hollywood legend known not only for his iconic roles but also for his utmost dedication to keeping his major project moments to secrecy.
Starting as a child actor in the 1960s, Russell quickly became a household name, starring in a string of projects likeTombstone,Silkwood, andThe Hateful Eight.

In 2017, he joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) as Ego the Living Planet inGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. He played the celestial father of Peter Quill (Star-Lord), bringing both charm and menace to the role.
It’s a clear fact that his character is one of the complex villains in the franchise, who once again showcased his mettle with the role.
Despite his commitment to the role, he couldn’t help himself in violating Marvel’s strict no-spoiler policy, as he admitted to sharing a sneak peek with his family. Ahead of the 2017 movie release, he revealed toGood Morning Americathat he spoiled a significant moment in the movie.
The moment in question is Russell’s flashback sequence to the 1980s, where his face was digitally de-aged, making him look much like his younger self.
I saw this and I had to, I took a picture, and I sent it to Goldie and the kids.
The transformation was so impressive that Russell couldn’t resist capturing the moment. But, his spoiler moment was harmless in a way as the picture never got out. He continued,
[I] said, ‘If you show this to anybody, I’ll be dead tomorrow, so you have to not do that! But look at this.‘
Russell’s family, including his longtime partner Goldie Hawn, and his children, Wyatt and Kate Hudson, are all deeply involved with the Hollywood industry. Since, they understand the intense pressure of keeping the content strictly under wraps before its release, leaking out was never an option.
His experience is sharply contrasted byTom HollandandMark Ruffalo‘s notorious actions, who have repeatedly made headlines for violating Marvel’s policy.

The Spider-Man actor has inevitably spilled the beans during press tours before the movie’s release. Whereas, his co-star, who plays Bruce Banner/Hulk in the franchise, infamously live-streamed his movie during the world premiere ofThor: Ragnarokin LA as perTHR.
While the web-slinger actor revealedAvengers: Infinity War‘s poster to the audience, his co-star ended up spoiling a major moment from the movie when he jokingly told a reporter that everybody dies in the movie.
Their repeated slip-ups led the franchise to take drastic measures, including providing them with incomplete scripts or misleading information to prevent any leaks.
