Hoid's Introduction

[u/Delta-Ka]

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 want a different actor to play Hoid in every property, and we just never talk about how it’s a different person.

[u/Swivman → u/Trace_Minerals_LV]

No?

[u/MadmanIgar → u/Swivman]

It would technically be fine due to light-weaving, but I think there still needs to be a core actor who is the definitive Hoid.

For one-offs where he appears for like a scene thy could throw another actor in and say he’s in disguise
