Fantastic Four star Paul Walter Hauser is giving Marvel spoiler aficionados Mark Ruffalo and Tom Holland a run for their money, as he's admitted to telling a lot of people about his MCU role in advance.

"For the most part, I was zip-lipped, and everybody understands at this point. They all know if you do Star Wars or Marvel, you can’t talk about it," Hauser told GQ. "But if I'm being honest – and I pride myself on my honesty nowadays – I probably told 70 or 80 random people, be it family members or fans.

"I'm not gonna lie and say I told literally no one. I told several dozen people," he continued. "But at the same time, they weren't blabbering it out, or giving it to news outlets. They were respectful, and excited, and what-have-you. But if a little kid comes up to me in a wheelchair with a comic book, and they're like, 'Are you Mole Man?' I would say something like, 'I don't know man, I hear there is a mole…' And wink at them, just to get them excited."
