Marvel star accidentally reveals 'Avengers: Doomsday' spoiler

Marvel goes beyond the measures to protect the surprises it has packed for fans in its projects. However, there have been instances in which actors in the franchise accidentally let slip spoilers.

Ian McKellen, who plays Magneto in Avengers: Doomsday, is the latest one.

In a chat with Jake's Takes, the star let slip a scene that may prove pivotal in the upcoming movie.

“Though I did destroy New Jersey the other day,” the actor shares, adding, “Oh, I perhaps shouldn’t have said that.”

Fans became excited about the accidental spoiler, discussing the connections of the villainous mutant to other Marvel characters based on his remarks.

For example, Scarlet Witch, who met her demise in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, is the daughter of Magneto in one Marvel Comics timeline and lives in Westview, New Jersey.

But Wanda is not the only character belonging to the city. Kamala Khan, who essays Ms Marvel, is also from New Jersey and is a mutant.

Avengers: Doomsday debuts in theatres on Dec. 18.
