Plot speculation

Since the film is still in post-production, and even though Bender's Game

Film

has just been released, not much is known. But its predecessors have revealed some information about its content. According to the DVD commentary of Bender's Big Score

Film

, the truth about the mysterious Number 9 Man (seen in season one and two and also Bender's Big Score) will be revealed, and he will be given a speaking role. The commentators also mention that there will be some golfing involved.

David X. Cohen released a tiny bit of plot detail:

Insert the text of the quote here, without quotation marks.

An interview with David X. Cohen also suggests that part of the film will rely heavily on Fry and Leela's relationship.

On the DVD of Bender's Game there is a teaser trailer for Into the Wild Green Yonder. In the trailer, Fry and Bender are playing poker with Leo Wong as the dealer. Fry is wearing a kind of foil hat which appears throughout the trailer worn by different people including the Number 9 Man. The Robot Mafia fire their guns at someone or something. Then, it seems that the Planet Express Crew goes missing, leaving only the Professor, Zoidberg, and Hermes. Fry gets hit over the head with a bottle by another man wearing a foil hat. Leela, Amy, and LaBarbara form a team of feminists and rebel against the remaining members of the crew. Onboard the Nimbus, the entire DOOP army, with the exception of Zapp and Kif, is wiped out in an unknown accident (Bender is aboard the ship aswell). Fry joins some sort of cult (all wearing foil hats) led by the Number 9 Man who know a secret which Fry reluctantly foot-swears not to tell anyone. At a construction facility, where the crew and Inez Wong are, Zoidberg deems that Fry is dead. Everyone is distressed over this, which does not usually occur when someone dies. However, this would not be the first time Fry has died on Futurama.

Additional Info

Trivia

  • It is also implied in the commentary of Bender's Big Score that Bender's materials will cause him to melt in hundreds of thousands of years.
  • The writers have been quoted, at Comic-Con International '08, saying that there is a "scene" containing "all of the characters" from Futurama, all clearly distinguishable. It is unclear if this is within the film itself or on one of the special features.
