No one could have possibly foreseen this.

The mishmash of floating heads prompted plenty of complaints about the design (“Did someone win a competition on Reddit?”), the preponderance of Iron Man (“Iron Man 8 poster promises big supporting role for Spider-Man.”), and the two-time appearance of three characters (Spider-Man/Peter Parker, Iron Man/Tony Stark, and The Vulture/Adrian Toomes).
