      You can actually specify in your website what images should be used for embeds like this. They’re called Open Graph Tags.

      They’ve specified one that isn’t in the article. (probably to make you scroll more for it and see more ads, or less maliciously this preview was generated when this image was in the article and it has since changed)

      The image itself is a screenshot from the trailer.
