The mystery of who Jeremy Irons is playing on Watchmen was resolved fairly early in Damon Lindelof’s continuation series, but many fans surmised correctly that the actor would play Adrian Veidt (a.k.a Ozymandias) based on just the trailer. No matter, because Watchmen has raised many more questions in its first season, including whether Doctor Manhattan can take on a human form, what’s up with these “squidfalls,” and just what the hell Veidt is doing on that beautiful estate while the Seventh Kavalry terrorizes Tulsa.
