13 Upcoming Movie Plot Twists Everybody's Already Guessed

A wild yet oddly plausible fan theory has been doing the rounds for months online, that Credence Barebone's (Ezra Miller) companion, known only as The Maledictus (Claudia Kim), will in fact turn out to be the human form of Voldemort's (Ralph Fiennes) pet snake Nagini.

We know that Kim's character has a blood curse which transforms her into a beast, and in the movie's first trailer, the circus at which she works featured a poster depicting her wrapped up by a giant snake.

There's sure to be division among fans as to whether this is a creative expansion of the Harry Potter mythos or an origin story we really didn't need, but the evidence presented is extremely convincing, so it'd be totally shocking if we were all being swerved.
