If there's some sort of tricksy loophole that gives double meaning to "it's impossible," I'd believe you, which would mean they're being clever again with a Mystery Box, both of which they've denied doing. Heh. In that case, they're be liars any way you look at it, just like Benedict Cumberbatch lied to the press prior to release of "Star Trek Into Darkness," stating unequivocally that John Harrison wasn't Kahn. Payne & McKay were disciples of JJ Abrams, infamous for his Mystery Box (and lens glare). All that said, I'm leaning toward the guy being a "blue" wizard - not Saruman. How's this for a loophole? They might be lying; it happens a lot in the entertainment business. The simple fact is, if it's not impossible for Gandalf to be the Stranger, it's not impossible for the Dark Wizard to be Saruman. However, it would be a clever subversion of audience expectations for the Istar to be a different wizard (as long as he isn't Radagast). I don't necessarily expect the show to give him any of the names that have already been attributed to the Blue Wizards unless, of course, they get permission to do so!
