In "Rumor Mill," we share the hard to buy rumours that don't come from reliable sources like the trades, but are still more believable (just) than what you might find on Reddit.
It's been confirmed that season two of The Mandalorian will premiere on Disney+ this October, and that has to mean the show's marketing campaign will soon kick in. The streaming service could release nothing more than a premiere date and the series would still be a hit, but a first look of some sort would certainly be welcome in these dark times.
If a rumour shared by LRM Online is to be believed, a trailer for the show will drop during the first round of the NBA playoffs either on August 21st or August 22nd.
This does make sense; Star Wars Celebration was set to take place that weekend before being cancelled due to COVID-19, and Disney has a habit of dropping big trailers during sporting events. Throw in the fact that DC FanDome is now scheduled for that same weekend, and it wouldn't be remotely surprising for Disney to do something to overshadow Warner Bros.' online event.
We'll have to wait and see whether this pans out, but a first look at The Mandalorian season two can't be that far away. We can but hope that we get to see at least a glimpse of Ahsoka Tano and Boba Fett.
Do you think a trailer debut is likely later this month?
