People are excited about Emilia Clarke and Henry Golding's upcoming romantic comedy, "Last Christmas"— so much so that they're taking to Twitter and sharing theories about what they think might be the movie's plot twist.
The trailer for the Emma Thompson-written film dropped on Wednesday and follows the story of Kate (Clarke), a woman who works at a Christmas shop and meets a man named Tom (Golding) after a chance encounter. The pair keep meeting and eventually fall for one another. The trailer also reveals that Kate "used to be really sick" and "nearly died."
But many people don't believe the plot could really be that simple. On Twitter, people are already abuzz with theories on what the twist ending of the holiday romantic comedy might be.
One of the most common theories is that Tom might be a ghost or an angel sent there to help Kate turn her life around.
is he a ghost? is SHE a ghost? https://t.co/SbRcQEm7D2

he literally sounds like he's guiding her throughout the movie, like her guardian angel

Expanding on this theory, people are arguing that Tom could have been an organ donor for Kate, who says in the trailer that she was very sick. The theory goes further to suggest Kate was given Tom's heart and he is now a ghost or an angel visiting the woman whose life he helped save thanks to the transplant.
Further assisting this line of reasoning is the classic song "Last Christmas" from the '80s band Wham! with George Michael which is featured in the trailer. The song's famous lyrics go: "Last Christmas I gave you my heart."
#LastChristmasMovie theory: Henry Golding is an angel, and Emilia Clarke received his heart in a transplant when she was sick. 🎵 Last Christmas I gave you my heart 🎵

I’m not still not over this! “last Christmas I gave you my heart” so Emilia Clarke’s character needed a heart transplant, Henry Golding was the donor and now she seems him everywhere. Ugh see you all in November!

Probably the twist, right? Like, Emilia Clarke's character probably got the heart of Henry Golding's character the previous Xmas and now has visions of him. I think she's the only one who interacts with him in the trailer? #LastChristmasMovie
But some users are hoping that Tom is just a great guy who helps Kate become a better person and the two fall in love and live happily ever after — all in the spirit of a cheerful holiday rom-com.
What if the twist in LAST CHRISTMAS is that both the audience and Emilia Clarke become convinced that Henry Golding is an angel/a ghost/all in her head but actually he's a real dude who's just improbably perfect

Also, last Christmas is inspired by the Wham! Song
Also it's Paul feig, and maybe that's all a red herring and there's a different twist! 🤞
"Last Christmas" will hit theaters on November 8. You can watch the trailer again here.
