The Himalayan Times seems to have assumed this was an official Marvel one-sheet considering it featured the fake poster in print as well as on its digital copy, as one Reddit user pointed out.
The poster was created by artist Mike Mitchell back in May, itself a spoof of the official Marvel poster which raised several eyebrows due to its crowdedness.
