10 Biggest Unconfirmed Rumours About 2018 Movies

9. Jack-Jack Will Be A Villain - The Incredibles 2

It's near-impossible to trace the origin of this one, but a quick Google search of the above phrase will return a boatload of YouTube videos, speculative articles, and Reddit threads about the possibility of baby Jack-Jack taking on a more villainous role in The Incredibles 2.

As bonkers as this seems, it will remain a possibility until Disney unveil the film's actual villain, or give us more details about Jack-Jack's role in the movie.

But could this even happen, and why would it happen? We know that Jack-Jack doesn't have complete control over his powers - being a baby and all - so maybe he unintentionally causes several headaches for the rest of the Incredibles? Maybe he isn't an out-and-out villain, but holds his family back in ways that prevent them from saving the day?

The Incredibles 2 will open with the titular family facing off against the Underminer, mere minutes after the first movie ended. Beyond that, the story has been kept under wraps.

Jack-Jack should be a big part of the sequel, though, since we didn't get to spend much time with him in the original. That in mind, he could have a big character arc that starts with him being a hindrance to the other heroes, before helping save the day towards the end. That wouldn't make him a proper villain, but it would also mean that this rumour wasn't a million miles away from the truth.
