13 Massive Movie Predictions For The Rest Of 2018

5. Overlord Is Still A Secret CloverVerse Movie

When this J.J. Abrams-produced World War II horror film was first announced, rumours quickly ran rampant online that it was the fourth entry into the Cloverfield franchise.

However, at CinemaCon in April, Abams flat-out denied that Overlord was a CloverVerse movie, with some even suggesting that the movie may have been disentangled from the series after the failure of The Cloverfield Paradox.

But what if J.J. is lying to us? It's obviously in his vested interest to keep the lid on the mystery box for as long as possible, and considering that Overlord still has no trailer with less than four months until its release, it's easy to believe he's trying to hoodwink audiences yet again.

After all, his Bad Robot production company isn't really in the business of making random, standalone films, so it'd be genuinely surprising if this really wasn't at least a tangential part of the CloverVerse.
