MOON KNIGHT Creator Says Character's MCU Future Is All in Kevin Feige and Oscar Isaac’s Hands
It’s been a while since Moon Knight wrapped its six-episode run on Disney+, and fans have been left wondering when (or if) we’ll see Marc Spector and his many alter egos again in the MCU.
According to series creator Jeremy Slater, your guess is as good as his. When asked about the future of the character in the MCU, he told ComicBook:
“Oh, God, I have no idea. If we do, I probably would not be involved. I am trying to launch my directing career. I am hoping to shoot in August.
“We are out to an Oscar-winning actor right now and waiting on his response, so it’s very exciting. TV takes you off the board for two or three years.”
Slater made it clear that the future of Moon Knight isn’t something he’s been looped in on.
“If there is another Moon Knight, the ball is in Kevin Feige and Oscar Isaac’s court. I don’t know the details of their contract.
Once Kevin figures out the best way to use that character, what is the right story and who are the right storytellers to bring that to life, I would be shocked if we didn’t see him again at some point.
“But, that’s me speculating as a fan. I have no inside knowledge. I haven’t talked to anyone at Marvel in a couple of years.”
Moon Knight debuted in 2022 during Marvel’s Phase 4, and since then, the character has been noticeably absent from the larger MCU, aside from a cameo in What If...? Season 3. No signs of him in Avengers: Doomsday, and Oscar Isaac has been quiet about the role ever since.
With Marvel now staring down the barrel of Phase 6, and other shows like Loki and Daredevil: Born Again getting multiple seasons or major crossover moments, it’s curious that Moon Knight hasn’t made another appearance, especially given the show’s unique mythology, unique tone, and Isaac’s layered performance as a man navigating dissociative identity disorder while also moonlighting as a vigilante wrapped in Egyptian mysticism.
For now, all roads point back to Feige and Isaac. Whether or not they choose to bring Moon Knight back into the fold, Slater’s words suggest we shouldn’t rule him out just yet.
“I would be shocked if we didn’t see him again at some point.”
Marvel Television head Brad Winderbaum previously 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.”
It’s been rumored that the character could return for three Marvel movies with Avengers: Doomsday, Avengers: Secret Wars, and Midnight Suns. We’ll just have to wait and see if there’s any truth to those rumors.
