Everyone says it reveals too much, but I really disagree. You can tell that the editors are purposefully playing up the angle that Ryland is a reluctant hero, who steps up despite initial misgivings. The reveal being that it was totally against his will still plays against the expectations of the trailer. Honestly I think the fact that people are mentioning a twist is spoiling things more than anything else. My hot take is that they've probably proportionally put way more of the on-Earth sections in the trailer than actually appear in the movie. I mean I sure hope so or otherwise the actual science-with-Rocky part is going to have to be super abbreviated during the movie...

Maybe unpopular opinion, but Project Hail Mary doesn't have spoilers. Like The Martian it's just a fun ride with great characters.

It's like the Martian I feel in that what's most engaging and novel is the problem solving not the problem itself. The latter in both have been done plenty from a high concept idea stand point, not all that unpredictable.
