10 Movie Fan Theories That Became Fact

10. The Hunger Games - Effie And Haymitch's Romance 

Now this one may have come from fans, but it was helped along the way by a cast member in its journey from fan fiction to established series canon.

In the mega successful dystopia novel series The Hunger Games, the romantic chemistry between former villainess Effie Trinket and taciturn mentor Haymitch is entirely implied, and nothing ever comes of their closeness on paper.

However Effie’s actor Elizabeth Banks, who was herself a fan of the popular fan theory in question, pushed for their relationship to be made more explicit in the movies. Fans agreed as many felt the pairing was a missed opportunity in the original books, and Woody Harrelson’s chemistry with Banks was just another benefit for audiences hoping to see the two together onscreen.

As a result, the mega budget adaptations of this sci-fi series made the romantic relationship between Effie Trinket and Haymitch canon thanks to the superb chemistry between their actors, and the delight of fans worldwide was enough to get them through this otherwise grim, grey set of films.
