9 “Shocking” Movie Twists Fans Figured Out Before Seeing The Movie

4. Mutt Is Indiana's Son - Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull

It€™s hard to remember just how much excitement surrounded The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull before release; the trailer instantly went viral, news of Karen Allen€™s return led to international days of celebration and every announcement was poured over with a microscope. The fact the end product was so very, very lame has dampened those memories, replacing them with lead-lined fridges and CGI monkeys. The story was kept under lock and key by Spielberg throughout production, so naturally numerous theories popped up regarding the plot. One thing that was immediately obvious to anyone with a working brain was that Shia LaBeouf €“ playing a new character named Mutt €“ would be Indiana€™s son. Fans knew he was the son of Karen Allen€™s character, he€™d be Indy's sidekick and it was clear he had spin-off potential; it made too much sense. People involved with the production still denied it up until release day, where the €œrevelation€ surprised exactly no one.
