Marvel's MOON KNIGHT Series Will Reportedly Connect To Their BLADE Film
A new rumor has surfaced regarding what Marvel might be planning for their Moon Knight series. According to superhero movie scooper Daniel Richtman, the highly anticipated Moon Knight series will tie into Mahershala Ali’s Blade movie.
Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has said that the Marvel shows they are developing for Disney+ will connect with the feature films that they’re developing. For example, we know that WandaVision and Loki are going to tie into Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
It’s not too far-fetched to think that Moon Knight and Blade would connect. After all, they are both Marvel characters that are on the darker side of the Marvel Universe spectrum.
There’s no information given as to how exactly they will connect, but that’s something that you can speculate about in the comment section below.
Jeremy Slater (The Umbrella Academy) is heading up the writing team for the upcoming Moon Knight Disney+ series. If this news is true, it’s going to be interesting to see how these two characters end up colliding with each other.
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, granting him a suave Bruce Wayne-style life. Yet during his last mercenary job in Cairo, 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, however, as he developed 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 his 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.
