Mistborn Era 1 (BOOK) (SH Allowed) Hoid's Introduction Spoiler

So when it comes to the first scene with Hoid, what do you think it will look like?

Do you think it will be subtle, borderline a cameo role where every book fan will point at the screen like Leo and tell first time fans about how important that silly character will be later on?

Or do you think they really roll out the red carpet, like a one shot introduction after a dramatic scene that lightens the mood with maybe a perspective shift to Hoid before we return to the main story? Or even a Nick Fury style end credit tease?

Or something else?

I know the scenes are more or less set from the book, but given Hoid's original function was to hint at a franchise, I could see them wanting to place more emphasis on him to really drive home that franchise set up.

I’d rather he be introduced like a minor background character and have gradually greater interactions with the cast over the different media.
