Marvel's Dracula is Now Rumored To Appear in Disney+'s MOON KNIGHT Series

Marvel’s upcoming Moon Knight series seems to be shaping up to be a monster fest, which would be awesome! It’s previously been reported that Werewolf by Night, Bushman, and Stained Glass Scarlett might appear in the series as villains. Now, according to Marvel scooper Daniel Richtman, Dracula is set to appear in the series as well.

Dracula, based on Bram Stoker’s novel, originally debuted in Marvel Comics in 1972’s The Tomb of Dracula #1. The character has changed a lot in the comics over the years. His most recent storyline involved uniting all the world’s vampires and going to war against The Avengers. Marvel needs to bring that story to the big screen! That would be wild!

A lot of fans assumed that Dracula might make his debut in the upcoming Mahershala Ali-led Blade movie, but the Moon Knight series is said to connect to Blade, so maybe Dracula will play a part in that connection? I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

I’m very curious and excited to see how this Moon Knight series ends up turning out. Moon Knight is currently being developed by Jeremy Slater (The Umbrella Academy) and his writing team.

In the comics, Marc Spector, a.k.a. Moon Knight, was a CIA agent turned mercenary where he made millions. His wealth from being a mercenary and investments land him anywhere between $50 million to $3 billion in net worth. Yet during his last mercenary job, Spector was left for dead by a former colleague.

Spector dragged himself through the sands of the desert to the tomb of Konshu, the Egyptian moon god. There he was pronounced dead but resurrected at the hands of Konshu. The resurrection took a toll and he ended up developing a multiple personality disorder. When he returned to New York, he created two new personalities, Steven Grant, and Jake Lockley. Grant was the millionaire womanizer, while Lockley was a cab driver.

It was after developing these other personalities when he took on the mantle of Moon Knight. Konshu granted Spector with increased physical capabilities and periodic prophetic visions at night; yet even Spector himself was unsure whether Konshu was yet another personality of his own creation. Even still, Moon Knight operates with an arsenal of technology, vehicles and costumes to suit his needs.

How do you think Dracula should be utilized in the MCU once he makes his debut, because it looks like it’s gonna eventually happen.
