If you haven't stopped looking up Euphoria fan theories ahead of Sunday’s finale, Dominic Fike’s got you covered.

On February 24, Dominic stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and took the time to discuss a few of the most eyebrow-raising Euphoria theories and his character Elliot’s future in the show. According to Dominic, Elliott will indeed be returning for season 3. When asked if he thought audiences will get to see him again in season 3, the actor and musician did not hesitate to answer: “Absolutely.” 

ICYMI: HBO announced Euphoria had been renewed for a third season earlier this month. “Sam, Zendaya, and the entire cast and crew of Euphoria have taken Season 2 to extraordinary heights, challenging narrative convention and form, while maintaining its heart," Francesca Orsi, Executive Vice President of HBO Programming, said when the news broke. "We couldn’t be more honored to work with this gifted, wildly talented team or more excited to continue our journey with them into Season 3.”

As far as fan theories go, Dominic weighed in on two of the most popular ideas making the rounds on the internet: Elliot being a figment of Rue's imagination and Elliot actually being Nate's estranged brother. The first one he seemingly debunked with a quick, “You wish.” The second one, however, ehm, well… let’s just say even Dominic has his doubts.

“I'm not even going to lie. I saw this one online,” Dominic said about the Nate theory. “I looked at it for a while, and there were so many things connecting. So many people were talking about it all through these Reddit threads. And at the end of it, I was like, ‘Am I Nate's brother?’”

Theories aside, Dominic also discussed Tom Holland’s potential cameo on the series. “I knew I was going to hear Tom's name,” he said when Jimmy brought up the topic. “What I can tell you is that Tom's a surprisingly nice guy for being Spider-Man. You know, 'cause you assume, as Spider-Man, you can do whatever you want. You can walk into any room and just point at someone's girlfriend. You know what I mean? Either way… he doesn't do that. He points at his girlfriend and kisses her on the mouth. And it's nice.” (Add that to the growing list of swoon-worthy moments from Tom and Zendaya.)

Euphoria’s highly-anticipated Season 2 finale will air on HBO and HBO Max on Sunday, February 27. Watch Dominic's full interview with Jimmy Fallon below:
