Head of Marvel TV Confirms We Will See MOON KNIGHT Return to the MCU but Not in a Second Season of His Show
Fans were fairly divided on whether they loved or hated season 1 of Marvel’s series Moon Knight. It was obscure, and different from anything else Marvel had made before, and some didn’t know how it fit in the MCU. But despite the series, many were united in their faith in Oscar Isaac’s portrayal of the lesser known Marvel character.
It was just reported a few months ago that Moon Knight was rumored to be preparing for an MCU return in three upcoming Marvel movies, including Avengers: Doomsday, Avengers: Secret Wars, and the long-rumored Midnight Suns movie. Now, that possibility is seeming more and more plausible.
During a recent interview with ComicBook, Marvel Television head Brad Winderbaum explained that the Marvel Cinematic Universe absolutely has future plans for Moon Knight — they just likely won’t come in the form of another TV season.
Winderbaum explained, “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.”
Marvel has already brought Moon Knight back into the fold once since the first season of the standalone series was released, but it wasn’t quite in the way fans had hoped. Isaac returned to voice Moon Knight in an episode of the third and final season of Marvel’s What If…?, which aired on Disney+ at the end of last year.
While it was certainly nice to see Moon Knight involved in the action in some capacity, many have been hoping he’d come around again in one of the live-action titles.
Now it’s looking more and more likely that Moon Knight will be returning to join some of the bigger event films we are expecting in the next two years. I look forward to seeing how his character is utilized moving forward.
