Tom Holland — with the help of Mark Ruffalo — accidentally revealed a poster for the much-anticipated The Avengers: Infinity War on Instagram Live.

(It’s worth noting that the incident could very well have been staged, but it’s amusing nonetheless.)
The video shows that Ruffalo, who plays the Incredible Hulk, had sent Holland a gift — and the young Spider-Man actor thought it would be fun to open it on Instagram Live to his 4.5-million followers.
“Yo, that’s dope!” he exclaims while showing his viewers the poster. Holland then takes out an attached note, revealing to the audience the back reading “CONFIDENTIAL DO NOT SHARE” while he, blissfully unaware, reads it aloud.
Holland quickly realises his mistake and rushes to turn off the camera — but it was far, far too late. Marvel has since released the official poster, which in all fairness doesn’t reveal much at all.

The issue is reminiscent of a similar mistake by Mark Ruffalo in October, when the actor forgot (or so he says) to turn off his Instagram Live stream during a premiere of Thor: Ragnarok. Viewers were subsequently granted access to the first few minutes of audio.
The Avengers: Infinity War trailer will be released Wednesday, 29 November.
