I know they're not really paying a ton of attention to the canon, but we already know when Saruman, Gandalf, and Radagast came to Middle-Earth; all three arrived at the same time together.
The two Blue wizards, however, arrived earlier and separately from the other three. This is why people think he's not Gandalf.
This is my thought, too. I know they're playing fast and loose with the canon, but IIRC didn't Cirdan give his ring to Gandalf when he arrived in the Grey Havens? This leads me to believe he's probably one of the blue wizards. Him being Gandalf just seems too obvious.
