Ed\u00a0Boon is known for his clever tweets<\/a>, but sometimes the gaming community makes a big to-do over harmless posts. Is his latest post\u00a0another theory gone wild, or is the Mortal Kombat co-creator really teasing a new Marvel game? You decide.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Boon and his Twitter account are always in the conversation. Sometimes he posts things that are wildly taken out of context; other times, he cleverly hides game secrets in plain sight. Because of that, it’s hard not to look at his latest post as something other than a potential tease, especially with a new Marvel game rumor being such a hot topic.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Mortal Kombat co-creator retweeted a post from director James Gunn, a post about his latest film, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3<\/em>. Boon shared the initial post, saying, “Wow, [James Gunn] has managed to work on DC and Marvel movies. That’s impressive.” He added a thinking emoji for effect\u00a0and,\u00a0apparently, that effect worked because gamers from all over immediately clamored to see if this was a clue. Even Geoff Keighley joined in on the speculation:\u00a0<\/p>\n

Listen Ed, this is a GUARDIANS post. We love you. I love you. You can be the greatest troll ever, but IF THIS GAME EXISTS AND STAR LORD ISNT IN IT… pic.twitter.com\/nxOSY5CCJU<\/a><\/p>\n

That’s the rumor.<\/p>\n

Rumors kicked back up once more<\/a> about a new Marvel game recently, claiming that NetherRealm is hard at work on a Marvel fighting game for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.\u00a0Obviously, Mortal Kombat has dabbled in the DC-verse in the past, which is what fans are latching onto with the specific wording of Boon’s tweet.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Outside of cryptic tweaks and leakers sharing knowledge about what’s in store, neither NetherRealm nor Marvel has confirmed rumors at this time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
