10 Upcoming Movie Twists Everyone's (Probably) Already Guessed

Plot twists can make or break a movie - if they're ingeniously executed and actually make sense for the story they can elevate it to the heavens, but if they feel forced and undermine everything up to that point, they can kill all audience enthusiasm.

And then there are twists which, whether good or bad, viewers see coming a mile off, as certainly appears to be the case with these 10 upcoming movies. 

From what we've glimpsed so far, it seems like a rug-pull is not so subtly waiting in the wings, and audiences at large have already cottoned onto what's coming.

Now to be clear, it's entirely possible we're wrong about at least a few of these movies, and the marketing might even be deliberately misleading us all to anticipate these outcomes, but more often than not, most trailers give a pretty straight-up indication of what the final film actually is.

And so with that in mind, we've likely already guessed the big plot twists for these 10 impending movies, enough that there won't be much surprise at all when they finally drop - unless they've got another, additional twist surprise us with, of course...

The rumour mill has been working overtime for Alien: Romulus, which we know will be set between the first two Alien movies, and center around a group of young colonists who are attacked by a Xenomorph while scavenging a derelict space station.

Once the teaser trailer dropped, eagle-eyed fans pointed out that the brief glimpses of the Xenomorph look incredibly similar to the original "Big Chap" Xenomorph design, with some suggesting that Romulus could in fact reveal that the Xeno from the original Alien somehow survived being jettisoned into space by Ripley (Sigourney Weaver).

It sounds ridiculous and fan-serving, but consider that some social media versions of the teaser opened with a few extra blink-and-you'll-miss-it shots, one of which appears to show scientists huddled around a Xeno's remains on a stretcher, and it becomes much easier to believe.

In a franchise that seems as bereft of good original ideas as Alien, why not just undo the ending of the original movie? It makes a bewildering amount of sense.
