How many times have you felt scammed after seeing something in movie trailers only for the final product to look different? Although it's not uncommon for some content shown in earlier trailers to be cut from the theatrical release, this kind of practice can be deceptive. It isn't just personal opinion either - a federal judge has actually ruled in favor of this line of thinking.
According to Variety, a federal judge ruled in favor of audiences suing movie studios under false advertising laws if they release trailer-exclusive content.
The most interesting part is the reason why this all started. If you thought it was because of Disney's penchant for using "deceptive" trailers for its movies, you're wrong. A pair of Ana de Armas fans filed the lawsuit because they rented out Yesterday, a romantic comedy film that came out in 2019 starring Himesh Patel. Apparently, the two fans didn't like that Ana de Armas isn't in the film even though a brief shot of her is included in the trailers and she's also listed as part of the movie's cast. The story here is that de Armas' part as a potential love interest to Patel's character was cut from the film because it didn't test well.
