Throughout the interview, Gillen noticeably identified that to date, he’s been speaking about “act one” of this occasion. He was naturally imprecise about what awaits in act two, saying it might barely change the strategy of your entire occasion. But act three is the place issues would get “more eventy…The third act really has some of the deepest and most Starlin-esque philosophical stuff in there as well some of the biggest explosions you’ll ever see.”
