Warning: this article contains some spoilers for Watchmen’s third episode, “She Was Killed by Space Junk.”
Ever since actor Jeremy Irons was first revealed to be joining the cast of HBO’s Watchmen, the prevailing rumor has been that he’s playing an older version of Adrian Veidt, aka Ozymandias. That theory has been in play so long it was accepted as fact even before the series debuted. At this point, it’s easy to forget HBO never actually confirmed the identity of Irons’ character, and that said character is never specifically named in the first two episodes.
