Any theories on the new villain?

1.) Male or female? It's clear the main villains alternate, but the big question is: If Equestria Girls will have no effect on the show, will they count Sunset Shimmer in the pattern or not? She is consistent with it, but will they go by the show's previous villain (King Sombra) or the previous villain altogether (Sunset Shimmer)?

2.) Nightmare Moon? Is Luna becoming Nightmare Moon again, a second Nightmare Moon persona created from jealousy of Twilight becoming a princess, or is this just a flashback that Twilight enters when "discovering the secret of the Elements of Harmony"? (I hope it's the latter, because if Luna undergoes two NMM transformations, she'll probably have to be killed, but the "precious light" line that Twilight didn't understand still gives me hope)

3.) Defeat? How will the villain be defeated? Elements of Harmony, or something else? And what will their fate be? Villain sounds serious if he/she wants to destroy everything (kinda like Chrysalis, Nightmare Moon wanted to be dictator of Equestria and bring eternal night, Discord just created chaos, and Sombra enslaved the Crystal Empire) so I doubt he/she will be redeemed, will they be banished/imprisoned or destroyed? (I'm keeping my fingers crossed for another villain death, I'm sure fans will welcome it after Trixie, Discord, and Sunset Shimmer's redemption)

And what of Celestia and Luna? It says they disappear, obviously that wasn't because Twilight was sent into a flashback, but because they were probably captured by this new villain. With rumors they won't be in Season 4, what if this excludes the premier, and the villain destroys Celestia and Luna? (they can "destroy" characters like they did Sombra, just can't leave a body intact (or onscreen, in case of a fall), initially I thought they'd limit it to villains but maybe not)
