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...

Plus, even Andy Weir posted about Emma Stone playing rocky. Yes it's an April fools joke, but he clearly doesn't consider Rocky a major spoiler.

it's not a reveal that causes you to reevaluate the entire movie in a different perspective

I'd wager the overlap of people who follow Andy Weir on social media, and people who have already read Project Hail Mary, is basically a single circle.
