Why Marvel hasn't allowed Tom Holland to see Black Widow yet

Tom Holland, is infamous for not being able to remain tight-lipped. He previously could not contain the excitement for his movie Spiderman: Far From Home and ended up revealing the title much before he was supposed to. The actor is known to have publicly shared the official poster of the Avengers: Infinity War film and now MCU executives think he cannot be trusted because they're afraid he will talk about Black Widow if he watches it!

It is being said that the Black Widow film is going to reprise some old characters like Yelena, and also bring up some new characters that could definitely have the potential of holding up the MCU in the future.
