Given how twisty Jordan Peele's movies are known for being, it's only right that the speculation around NOPE is already well and truly underway.

Appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday, actor Steven Yeun had some of that speculation put to him directly in the form of Reddit fan theories, which he had to do his best not to react to.

These included: "NOPE is actually an acronym: Not of planet Earth" (Yeun widened his eyes); "The horses are a symbol similar to how Chris saw himself as the deer on the side of the road in Get Out" (Yeun looked confused); And "The ranch owners are actual aliens themselves and the UFOs have come to bring them back home." (Yeun gave an unimpressed head shake).

So, not giving too much away, but maybe that head shake was a double bluff?
