Moon Knight told the story of Marc Spector who has Dissociative Identity Disorder. He had an alter named Steven Grant and would transform into the hero known as Moon Knight, thanks to the Egyptian God Khonsu. The show ended on a cliffhanger, and there have been rumors about season 2 ever since the finale. While season 2 is still unconfirmed, a new rumor suggests that season two will return before one of the Avengers movies in Phase Six.
Moon Knight season 2 has the most uncertainty around it. Oscar Issac has denied the rumor about season 2 being in development. However, he has had “specific conversations” about where he wants the character of Marc Spector to go in the future. If Moon Knight season 2 happens, it may not release for a while, and could even be a show during Phase Six. It’s entirely possible, as there have been no shows announced for Phase Six yet.
With the introduction of Marc’s other alters, Jake Lockley during the post-credits scene of the finale, it’s not out of the question for Moon Knight’s return. Fans are hoping that the character could join Earth’s Mightiest Heroes for the biggest event in MCU history in Avengers: Secret Wars. Hopefully, season 2 becomes a reality and we get to see more Moon Knight in other MCU content.

The Star Wars franchise has been going full force for the last few years, with comics, books, and TV shows all going full throttle, the only thing not going at all is the movies. Though that might be changing, as reported for several weeks, there tends to be momentum on the rumor front that a film written by Damon Lindelof has been in the works and may start production this year. Reliable leaker Bespin Bulletin has reported alongside Hollywood Insider Jeff Sneider that Lindelof’s movie may have not one but two leads and that they are casting a person of color for the role. An exciting prospect for both diversity in Star Wars films but also to get fresh faces to create new and likable characters for the Star Wars universe.
Of course, Lucasfilm has not announced anything about any upcoming movies, the only thing we know is that Disney has an opening for a Star Wars movie in 2025. That could be the rumored Lindelof film or something else, we do not know. Hopefully will get an official update from Lucasfilm sometime soon. Even when Star Wars is booming on TV it is still at the end of the day a film franchise, and will always be one at its core. Though always in motion the future is, it will be hard to say just where the movies will go, only time will tell.

Respawn’s Star Wars FPS Game May Have Multiplayer According To A Job Posting

Fans have been awaiting more information about the upcoming Respawn Entertainment Star Wars FPS game ever since they won the license after DICE lost it. DICE fumbled the ball, so to speak, with its rollout of Star Wars: Battlefront 2 when it decided to implement loot crates in a pay-to-play fashion that saw an uproar from fans.
Now it looks like Respawn’s go at the franchise may have a multiplayer element, something well within their wheelhouse. According to EmoPulse, a job posting from Respawn Entertainment for a Senior Gameplay Software Engineer related to the Star Wars FPS game. One of the “Desired Qualifications” is experience working on a multiplayer game.
Given Respawn’s history and the listing in the leak, there’s a strong indication that their new game could have a multiplayer element. Respawn, if people don’t know, is a relatively new studio in the gaming industry, formed by former Call of Duty creators. One of their most successful games includes the Titanfall series, which was heavy on multiplayer, and the hit Jedi: Fallen Order. They are also finishing development on Fallen Order’s sequel, Jedi: Survivor, coming this March.
Could this be a sign that fans are getting what could be a new Battlefront game? Chances are good, but we’ll have to wait and see. E3 is coming in a few months, where fans will likely hear more.
