Sometimes being silent on it is louder, especially when there is a major source that's already pointing towards it.

I find it surprising how much of the average movie-goer, don't look up things before going to see a movie. At most they look up when it comes out, review scores on sites like Rotten Tomatoes, and the trailer, either online when it first comes out, or in the theaters in front of a different movie (which my sister does, although she says she doesn't watch trailers online to avoid spoilers, even though she has no problem catching them in the theaters).

Sometimes with the trailers, that's all the info they have. Like with the 'Ant-Man and the Wasp' trailers, people were asking "Is T.I. even in this movie?" just because he wasn't in them, even though casting news confirmed before that he was. So with the average movie-goer, they will see Law is in it and ask "Who's he playing?", and when it's (presumably) revealed to be Mar-Vell, they'll be surprised and be like "Oh, so he's the namesake!".
