A big spoiler for a major part of “The Amazing Spider-Man” was revealed in some toy packaging, and now it appears that some more packaging has given rise to some spoilers about “The Avengers.” (CLICK AWAY IF YOU DON’T WANT TO READ SPOILERS!)

CinemaBlend via DigitalSpy is reporting that a HeroClix preview has given some details to a new villain that will be terrorizing the heroes in “The Avengers.”

The product announcement states that the Red Skull (portrayed by Hugo Weaving in “Captain America: The First Avenger”) will join Loki (Tom Hiddleston) in the fight against good. “Charging straight out of theaters and on to your tabletop, Marvel’s the ‘Avengers’ Movie HeroClix set features heroes like Captain America and Thor as they battle the villainy of the Red Skull and Loki,” stated the announcement. It remains to be seen if Weaving returned to the role of the Red Skull.

Another rumor is that the Skrull race will be a part of the film as well, however that hasn’t been confirmed (will it show up on some packaging as well?)

Again, I’m not sure why all of these toy leaks are coming out all of a sudden. Is this a new thing? Generally, I have never read a lot of toy leaks until now. If I see it a third time, then I’ll call it a new thing in movie marketing.

What do you think about the Red Skull coming to battle The Avengers”? Give your opinions below.
