10 Predictions For 2019 Movies That Everybody Got Wrong

Maybe the fans don't know everything after all.

In 2019, at the height of the movie industry's spoiler culture, details around the biggest movie releases are always finding their way onto the internet. Every official clip and trailer are watched and rewatched, paused and picked apart by fans and even when studios are extra careful and give nothing solid away, fans are still able to take educated guesses, and theorize over what will happen in any and all upcoming movies. To some, this is even more fun than watching the movies themselves, with popular YouTube channels dedicated solely to discovering these secrets.

Some of these predictions are certainly easier to make than others. In 2018, for example, it was no real stretch to realise Thanos would assemble the infinity stones and snap his fingers to wipe out half of humanity's existence, just as he had in the comics.

However, for every successful theory, there are dozens that miss the mark. Fans that believe they have read the clues correctly are proved wrong all the time. Sometimes red herrings are even slipped into the marketing material with the sole purpose of throwing would be theorists off the scent of the real story, and in 2019, there was no shortage of people missing the mark.

10. Peggy Carter Would Appear - Captain Marvel

In the run up to its release, Captain Marvel gained a lot of hype and publicity for several reasons. The tease at the end of Infinity War raised a lot of eyebrows, the titular character is one the strongest to have ever graced the MCU, and it was the first female led movie in the entire cinematic universe.

Since Captain Marvel was set in the 1990s, it led many fans to theorise that none other than Hayley Atwell's Peggy Carter might appear. The character, aside from her appearances in both Captain America: The First Avenger and The Winter Soldier, had already featured in a flashback scene in Ant-Man, so why not again in 2019?

Having already been established as a strong, smart, bad ass female character, what better place to bring her back to the MCU than Captain Marvel? The timeline would make sense, as the 90's would find Peggy alive and well, and any reason to bring back Atwell's fan favourite character should be reason enough.

However, despite the heavy presence of SHIELD throughout the movie, the organisation she was instrumental in establishing, Peggy Carter still did not appear in Captain Marvel, proving many fans and their theories wrong.
