Evan Rachel Wood reveals what 'Westworld' fan theory she got right

Evan Rachel Wood was not immune to conjuring her own fan theories while shooting "Westworld." "I was certainly the main geek on set coming into the hair and makeup trailer every day going off on some tangents," said Wood, who plays humanoid robot Dolores Abernathy, when she stopped by The Times' video studio. "I think I had about 100 theories and four were right," she said. "The running joke on set was that everyone thought they were Anthony Hopkins. Wood became enthralled with a group text chain with cast members about their ideas on the intricate twists and turns in the show. She took personal satisfaction in correctly guessing the Man in Black twist as early as Episode 2. However, the difference between her and the fans was that her theorizing and revelations happened while shooting the futuristic western rather than after it aired. I had done the scene with Ed [Harris] in the pilot where he picked up the can and gave it to me, tipped his hat. And I just had a déjà vu. I was doing the same scene with Jimmi [Simpson]. And I could just tell the energy on set was very specific, and they were being very specific about how we were shooting, and how he was picking it up. The first time he did it and I took it, I looked in his eye, and I just went, 'Oh, that would be messed up. Which means, that's what it is.' But then it wasn't confirmed and I kinda threw it out."
