Talking with Empire Journal, Onah mentioned he doesn’t consider there was ever an choice of hiding Pink Hulk from Courageous New World’s trailers as a result of the entire thing would have been spoiled in another manner. He mentioned:
“Whenever you’re making a film like this, an announcement goes out that Harrison Ford goes to play Thaddeus Ross, and you’ve got a fandom as large and as passionate because the MCU fandom is, you’re toast at that time, you realize? In a perfect-case state of affairs, it might have been superior [if ] that [had been] an in-theatre shock, however I believe it might have been very troublesome. Someplace alongside the way in which, a toy would have been discovered, or any person would have leaked a trailer. It’s simply so exhausting to maintain something secret in at this time’s day and age.”
