15 Potential Plot Twists That Could Ruin Upcoming Movies

5. Steve Trevor Actually Survives - Wonder Woman

The Twist: Despite it being blatantly obvious that Steve Trevor's (Chris Pine) death is what sends Diana (Gal Gadot) into self-imposed exile, Warner Bros. trolls fans once again by actually having him survive the movie.

Why It Could Ruin The Movie: Trevor's death just feels like such a neat and tidy way to justify Diana's exile, so subverting this forces the writers to come up with another explanation, which perhaps won't feel quite so convincing.

Given the basic, logical character beats that fell flat in Batman v Superman, it makes sense to keep Wonder Woman's through-line simple, efficient and effective. Anything counter to that is almost certainly a terrible idea.

How Likely Is It?: Not very. Again, the DCEU is rather unpredictable when it comes to actually doing the sensible thing, but even they would struggle to screw this up, right? 2/10
