There is a slim chance.

I could see black holes that were formed during the early moments of the Universe being wormholes; they could have formed wormhole links to their neighbors that were then stretched out during the cosmic expansion. Assuming the wormholes could even survive that long.

Speaking of which, the latest conjecture is that planet nine may actually be a primordial black hole:

Sounds like it'd be interesting to explore.

The math supports a “planet nine.” It is someone out in or beyond the Kuiper Belt. The hypothesis is it about the size of Neptune and ten to twenty times the mass of Earth. The orbit is thought to elliptical and takes anywhere from 10,000 to 20,000 years to complete.

The math supports a planet that hasn’t been discovered. A small black hole could be possible. A planet seems more plausible.

That is plausible. It is amazing, something that is roughly the size of a grapefruit that is four or five times as massive as the earth. Way out past Neptune. Takes 10,000 years to complete an orbit. It would solve several of the issues that show up when the calculations are run.

I honestly have a hard time wrapping my head around how Planet 9 could be a black hole, unless it came from an object that was several times the mass of the sun.
