Not exactly a spoiler I would want to hear if her origin is similar to the retconned comic origin. I've been going out of my way to not read articles about merch that says "leaks confirm the name of this character will appear in the movie." You really think that's a spoiler? And the retconnned origin coming in the comics when it did isn't? For all I knew they could've introduced the new origin in the comic books to either differentiate it from the movie version, or to throw people off expecting the same origin in the movie.

I'm not surprised or spoiled personally that they would go for it in the movie, but it may be seen as a spoiler for non-comic readers, and I am surprised on Marvel's part to introduce said revised origin for the character in the comics before the movie came out (unlike with Star-Lord, which explored the 616 origin of being raised by the Ravagers, unlike the origin of the original 791 version, after the 199999 version became popular in his movie).
