Mari's relationship with Fuyutsuki, Yui and Gendo

In the right, there is a person that looks like Mari

In a scene in Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo where Shinji and Kozo are playing Shogi, Kozo tell Shinji that if he missed her mom, to which Shinji replies that he don't, then Kozo showed a photo of Shinji (as a baby), Yui and other people around her. Interestingly, it had a person that looked like Mari, which may implied that it was her. However, it was shown that her hair is brighter in the photo and didn't wear a headband. So it's unknown that it was her or soomeone else. However, it is that this is not an only time we see strange connections between them. In many scenes of [[Mari refers to Gendo as "Gendo-kun". Interestingly, "kun" is used for younger man but it also used for a person with the same age. In Gendo's flashback, we see "Mari" with Gendo. She also introduced Fuyutsuki and Yui and they got along with each other.

Curse of Eva

Another Evidences to mention is about Curse of Eva. We see that she has an apperence of a 16-year-old girl but way have knowledges about Nerv and relationship with Fuyutsuki, Yui and Gendo which is mentioned above. It may impled that she had curse of Eva before the event of Rebuild of Evangelion. However, if she actually had that, why Nerv has to recuit Rei, Asuka and Shinji in the first place? As they can know about her curse and take that as an advantage due to her relationships above people.

Theory

Thanks to those above speculations, many fans created many theories, but there are two most popular theories among the fans:

Mari is (one of the) first victim of Curse of Eva before the event
