4. How Will It Tie Into Cloverfield? - God Particle

The Question: God Particle is set to be the third entry into the Cloverfield universe, and with ties to at least the original movie being damn-near guaranteed, what exactly will be the nature of its links to the 2008 found footage flick?

The Likely Answer: Though little is known about the film beyond the basic plot (a space station's experiment causes Earth to disappear, and a mysterious space shuttle suddenly shows up), the smart money is on the shuttle containing some version of the alien race seen in the two Cloverfield movies to date.

There's also a fan theory online that the film will end with a satellite getting knocked out of orbit, linking into the final shot of Cloverfield where a satellite can be seen falling from the sky and presumably waking the monster up.
