  (#13) The Vehicles In 'Cars' Overthrew Humanity

  Cars creative director Jay Ward essentially confirmed a long-running theory about Pixar franchise in 2017. According to Ward, the cars overthrew humanity when they realized they were no longer needed. Ward explained his reasoning in an interview with ScreenCrush:

  If you think about this, we have autonomous car technology coming in right now. It’s getting to the point where you can sit back in the car and it drives itself. Imagine in the near-future when the cars keep getting smarter and smarter and after one day they just go, "Why do we need human beings anymore? They’re just slowing us down. It’s just extra weight, let’s get rid of them." But the car takes on the personality of the last person who drove it. Whoa. There you go.

  (#7) Chief In 'Wonder Woman' Is A Demi-God

  During Wonder Woman, the title character meets with a man known as Chief. They chat to each other in a foreign language that isn’t subtitled. Fans went into intense research mode and discovered the language is Blackfoot, which is spoken by several indigenous tribes living in the Canada and the United States. 

  Once Native speakers translated the speech, it was revealed Chief introduces himself to Wonder Woman as Napi, a demi-god in Blackfoot culture. Some speculated this meant Chief was really a deity. Actor Eugene Brave Rock confirmed the theory on Twitter.

  (#9) Dumbledore From 'Harry Potter' Is Gay

  Few franchises are as popular as Harry Potter; it's not surprising there are hundreds of fan theories about the series. One of the leading ideas is that Dumbledore might be gay. Very little is known about his past, other than the fact he had a close and deep friendship with Gellert Grindelwald. Some felt the relationship may have been more than strictly platonic. 

  As part of a book tour in 2007, J.K. Rowling confirmed Dumbledore is gay, revealing the wizard fell in love with Grindelwald. She even removed a reference to Dumbledore's past female loves from the sixth film, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.

  (#2) Peter Parker Is In 'Iron Man 2'

  Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe have speculated for some time that Peter Parker makes an earlier appearance than his official role in Spider-Man: Homecoming. A scene from Iron Man 2 featuring a young boy standing up to the rogue robots at the Stark Expo raised eyebrows, with some believing this is actually a young Spider-Man.

  Tom Holland, who portrays the web slinger in Spider-Man: Homecoming, confirmed the theory in an interview with Huffington Post in 2017. Holland said Kevin Feige, the president of Marvel Studios, told him the young boy is definitely Peter Parker:

  I can confirm that as of today. I literally had a conversation with Kevin Feige only 20 minutes ago. Maybe I’ve just done a big, old spoiler, but it’s out there now. It’s cool. I like the idea that Peter Parker has been in the universe since the beginning.

  (#8) Deckard is A Replicant in 'Blade Runner'

  Ever since Blade Runner was first released, fans have contended that the protagonist, Rick Deckard, is actually a replicant himself. These theorists point to various pieces of evidence, including the origami unicorns left behind for him after he has a dream about the creature.

  While Deckard actor Harrison Ford might not agree, director Ridley Scott has gone on record a number of times saying he believes Deckard is a replicant. In 2017, the director once again let his position on the matter be known, albeit in a more roundabout manner:

  Tyrell is a trillionaire, maybe 5 to 10% of his business is AI. Like God, he has created perfect beings that, for all intents and purposes, there is no telling the difference from humans. Then he says, “You know what? I’m going to create an AI. I’ll have a male and female, they will not know that they’re both AIs, I’ll have them meet each other, they will fall in love, they will consummate, and they will have a child.” That’s the first film.

  (#1) The Peddler At The Start Of 'Aladdin' Is The Genie

  Ever since Aladdin was released in 1992, fans have argued the peddler working at the bazaar at the start of the film is the Genie. The peddler's appearance and voice are eerily similar to that of the Genie, and fans were convinced they were one and the same. One of the co-directors of the film, Ron Clements, granted fans' wish when he confirmed their hypothesis was true to E! News:

  That was the whole intention, originally. We even had that at the end of the movie, where he would reveal himself to be the Genie, and of course Robin [Williams] did the voice of the peddler. Just through story changes and some editing, we lost the reveal at the end. So, that's an urban legend that actually is true.
