The announcement was warmly received on X, with fans responding with comments such as “Thanks for the advance notice — really helpful,” “Of course we’ll respect this,” “Seriously, please,” “I wish every piece of media did this,” and “No spoilers, everyone!” — reflecting a strong willingness among the fanbase to cooperate.
About the Film
