Ah, yes, the rifle and the camtono.
But Favreau says the franchise cross-pollination won’t end there.
“I love this character,“Monaghan told EW.
“They’re starting to explore him through other mediums we have a novel coming up.
People are looking at games and seeing they’re incredible and moving and significant.
So my priority right now is to check that we have a satisfying arc within the games.
So we’ll see.”
Hopefully, we will.
