10 Recent Movie Twists EVERYONE Predicted
4. Nick Turns On Donnie (But Not Really) - Den of Thieves 2: Pantera
Given that the first Den of Thieves concluded with an outrageous twist ending, where thief Donnie (O'Shea Jackson Jr.) was revealed to be a secret criminal mastermind, fans were basically expecting the recent sequel to follow suit with another bonkers twist.
But it was decidedly easier to see it coming this time - the reveal that sleazebag cop Nick O'Brien (Gerard Butler) wasn't really teaming up with Donnie. Well, not entirely.
At the end of the film, once Nick and Donnie have joined forces to pull off a heist and embarked on quite the unexpected bromance, the crew are arrested and it's revealed that Nick actually ratted them all out.
But given both Nick's evidently slippery nature and the fact that a third Den of Thieves was already said to be in the works by filmmaker Christian Gudegast, it also wasn't at all surprising when Nick helped Donnie and his team escape from police custody in the film's final sequel-baiting scene.
Needless to say, Gudegast will need to come up with a much wilder twist for the threequel to prevent folks from figuring it out beforehand.
