Waiting for films to release is hard. We're bombarded with news and promotion so intensely that it's impossible not to get a little too excited, yet this material generally lacks detail and substance. Often, movie rumours are the only things that passionate fans can cling to, easing those lengthy periods of anticipation. Elaborate rumours can stem from the most flippant of places, but ultimately where they come from doesn't really matter. What's important is that they're convincing, rounding up fragmented details to form tantalising speculation. Nothing is more satisfying than nailing a plot or character arc based on a slither of information, or figuring out who has been cast as who. In the end, the only way to truly find out is to wait, but it's a whole lot of fun trying to piece everything together first. With all that said, the films of 2016 have spawned some seriously convincing rumours. Here are the most telling and most fascinating so far.
