I don't think that was Shinji (just a theory)

I don't think that this is actually Shinji, I think Shinji is still trapped inside the eva some where. In the beginning when Shinji walks on the bridge of the Wunder Misato and Ristsuko say some very strange things. I remember heading his DNA is almost 100% identical to the third and something about his teeth have developed properly-I don't remember that line correctly-so I really don't think this is Shinji. I think this might just be a reproduction of Shinji, think of how Rei is a vessel, this might be the same deal instead this Shinji has all the memories of old Shinji. I might be completely wrong but the real Shinji might still be such in that cross that fell to earth.

I will not fear, fear is the mind killer

The read cross that fell to Earth was Eva Unit 01. Shinji and Rei were both trapped in their the failed Third Impact happened, but because of the 14 year gap they are kept in a space coffin for some reason.

The opening of the movie is Asuka and Mari fighting some sort of SEELE Guardian and rescuing the EVA, because they plan to use it to power the Wunder ship.

I think it really is Shinji, as he woke up only when Unit 01 was returned to Earth.

They really pressed the reset button this time around. Characters have had their connections completely severed.

I hope more will be explained in Evangelion Final

My theory is that Shinji and Rei fused.

I don't think that's true. If you've seen the anime,

spoiler

Shinji and Rei's relationship is reset when she detonates herself to defeat the spiral Angel.

This mirrors the third movie. This is the point in the story for Rebuild where Shinji and Rei go back to square one.

Hmm... that's possible too. Though just conjecture. But Shinji is already a 'bit' effeminate, so if he 'absorbed' Rei... that makes sense him being somewhat drawn to Kowaru. Though he was more drawn towards Rei trying to figure out was wrong with her...
