It's not that much trouble when the CGI wasn't remotely close to being finished when the changes were made. The Script leak occurred during the first week of filming. PLENTY of time to make changes.

It's a hell of a lot easier to "please" fans that haven't had the entire story spoiled by reading a leaked script online, which really is little different from piracy (the script was stolen property).

But yes, the very strong rumor for months has been that Skrulls were the original plan, but because of the script leak and also because Marvel Studios may not even have the rights to Skrulls (See: Fantastic Four rights being held by Fox), they changed it early on in production. Licensors have a longer and more "set in stone" production schedule, so couldn't necessarily change as quickly.

Thus we have:

Skrulls in the boardgame.

Something else in the action figures that doesn't exactly look like Skrulls (likely a "quick fix" of changing headsculpts without changing much else on the figures).

Something even more different in the actual television commercials (which will be what's in the actual movie).

It was probably Skrulls to start, but I'd be willing to bet money that it ain't gonna be Skrulls in the movie.
