15 Potential Plot Twists That Could Ruin Upcoming Movies

6. Deckard Is A Replicant - Blade Runner 2049

The Twist: Some 35 years after Ridley Scott teased fans that Deckard (Harrison Ford) might not be human...it's finally confirmed that, indeed, he has been a replicant all along.

Why It Could Ruin The Movie: Director Denis Villeneuve is in something of an awkward position here: answering the mystery of Deckard's humanity (or lack thereof) will disappoint fans either way, but revealing Deckard to be a replicant simply invites a litany of questions that the film may not be able to satisfactorily answer (especially regarding replicants' life spans).

How Likely Is It?: Given Villeneuve's penchant for dramatic restraint, it's much more likely he'll simply refuse to answer the question altogether, which will frustrate many fans but at least keep one of cinema's most engrossing mysteries alive.

If Deckard is indeed revealed to be a replicant, it would be nothing short of shocking. 3/10
