RDJ is in the latest Incredible Hulk TV ad.  Hardly a spoiler.

I am aware of this, but not everyone here watches TV. I know at least one forumite who doesn't watch TV and isn't aware of that scene to my knowledge. I don't see why it's such a big deal to be a little cautious about spoilers for a movie that's not even out in wide release yet. Shit, I've already seen it, I'm a notorious douche and I still think it's the courteous thing to do.

rynne:
My point was that it's not a "spoiler" if Universal Pictures is using the cameo as part of the film's marketing.  Just 'cause a particular person hasn't seen the ad doesn't make it a secret.  Universal wants people to know that RDJ is in the film.

"A published piece of information that divulges a surprise, such as a plot twist in a movie."

Said moment is most definitely a spoiler, but hey, what do I know? Fuck common courtesy, it takes too long to modify a post. I am clearly the douche here.

rynne:
I'll just say that I'm at a loss to reconcile how Stark's cameo can be both 1) a surprise and 2) intentionally emphasized the film's promotional materials.

In that ad, Stark is shown and named before Edward Norton/the Hulk gets his first appearance.  Universal is not only revealing Downey's cameo, it's deliberately using Downey's cameo to bank on Iron Man's success.
