Actually [tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BaitAndSwitch bait and switch] is a bit different, it's used in jokes where you imply something but it turns out to be the opposite, and unlike here it's supposed to be funny.

What they did hear is called [tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WolverinePublicity Wolverine Publicity], where you deceptively promote a popular character as appearing in a show or episode in order to attract attention, but when it's actually released it turns out the character was barely in it (or in this case not at all).
