The news began to come in earnest in the second month of the year. Here are some entertainment news tidbits that dropped in February.
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Now Available to Stream on Netflix
Although it was not a box office hit, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is a BELOVED movie. And it really does Dungeons & Dragons justice, whether you’re a casual or committed fan of the game. And now Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is available to stream on Netflix. While previously available on Paramount Plus, this move to a more common streamer will hopefully see new audiences discovering it. And maybe that boost of love will get Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves the sequel that we and Chris Pine deserve.
Moon Knight Will Not Get a Season 2 (But the Character Will Return)
Alas, it’s bad news for those hoping for a Moon Knight season two showcasing more of Oscar Isaac’s take on the multifaceted character. Although a season two of Moon Knight was briefly teased, Marvel Television head Brad Winderbaum shared the following update about Moon Knight, “So I think Marvel Television has happened in waves, and I think Moon Knight happened in a wave of shows that were going to establish characters that would tie-in to the future. And moving forward, our priorities have shifted. We’re making shows as shows that can exist as annual releases, more like television. I would love to see a Moon Knight Season 2, but there are plans for Moon Knight down the road.”
So, while there won’t be a Moon Knight season two, at least there will definitely be more Moon Knight.
Black Panther Spinoff Series About Okoye Is Scrapped
And there’s more bad news for those hoping for their favorite characters to showcase in a Marvel TV series. For a while, it seemed like a Black Panther spinoff series focusing on Danai Gurira’s Okoye was imminent. However, the Okoye MCU TV series appears to have been scrapped. Brad Winderbaum told Pay or Wait, “I love Okoye. I think fans of Okoye are going to be excited to see her come back. But I don’t think it’s going to be on a television show. I can’t say where or when, but I think there’s a lot to look forward to.”
We absolutely do want more Okoye, so please MCU gods, get her into another movie soon!
Harrison Ford Joined the MCU Without Reading a Script
Via Variety, we learned that Harrison Ford joined the MCU with “no script” and didn’t even know he would turn into Red Hulk. Ford shared, “Why not? I saw enough Marvels to see actors that I admired having a good time. I didn’t really know that at the end I would turn into the Red Hulk. Well, it’s like life. You only get so far in the kit until the last page of the instructions is missing.”
He previously noted of the role that it involved, “being an idiot for money, which I’ve done before.” But assured fans that he had “a great time.”
Mackenyu Joins Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Live-action Netflix One Piece‘s Roronoa Zoro and well-known Japanese martial arts movie star, Mackenyu is making his video game debut. Mackenyu will be lending his voice to Assassin’s Creed Shadows, where he’ll portray Gennojo, “a charming individual who crosses path with Naoe and Yasuke while they are tracking a crucial target.” Additionally, a release notes, “Players can recruit him in the Shinobi League to aid in their fight against the forces of corruption that are rampant across the land. Mackenyu will be doing both the Japanese and English voice over for this character. “
We have no doubt Mackenyu will absolutely slay in this Assassin’s Creed Shadows role.
