Summary
- Moon Knight is rumored to return in two high-profile MCU projects, potentially Avengers and Midnight Suns.
- Fans speculated on Moon Knight's future after the series finale's Jake Lockley reveal.
- Moon Knight's return in Midnight Suns aligns with Marvel's rumored supernatural saga post-Secret Wars.
Oscar Isaac's Moon Knight hasn't been seen or heard from since his solo Disney Plus series in 2022. However, a new rumor claims fans will see Moon Knight return in at least two high-profile MCU projects.
Moon Knight ended with Isaac's Marc Spector and Steven Grant (the two alter-egos of a man with dissociative identity disorder) being released from Khonshu's service, freeing them from the ancient Egyptian moon god at the expense of the powers of Moon Knight. However, the Moon Knight finale's mid-credits scene reveals there is a third personality, Jake Lockley, who continues to serve Khonshu and is willing to murder without hesitation. Fans understandably believed this revelation would be explored in a future MCU project, but there hasn't been any concrete news on Moon Knight's return since the series concluded.
Agatha All Along Star Casts Doubt on a Second Season
Agatha All Along season 2 may not be a sure thing, as Kathryn Hahn's recent comments suggest her future in the MCU isn't planned yet.
Now, scooper MyTimeToShineHello has provided an update on when fans will see Moon Knight return to the MCU. The news was revealed after MyTimeToShineHello responded to an X post featuring a GIF of Moon Knight's transformation, positing that they may have been too harsh on the series. In response, another X user asked if fans will ever see Moon Knight again, noting that they haven't heard any concrete news in 2 years. MyTimeToShineHello gave a short and simple answer: fans will see Moon Knight return i n Avengers and Midnight Suns.
Notably, MyTimeToShineHello didn't specify if Moon Knight would appear in Avengers: Doomsday, Avengers: Secret Wars, or both. Considering the MCU has seemingly abandoned Moon Knight, his inclusion in either Avengers: Doomsday or Secret Wars may be surprising. However, his inclusion in a Midnight Suns project is fitting. In Marvel Comics, the Midnight Sons are a team of supernatural heroes whose roster frequently includes characters like Blade, Morbius, and Ghost Rider, a group Moon Knight wouldn't be out of place with.
Moon Knight's return in a Midnight Suns project lines up with rumors that Marvel Studios is planning a supernatural saga after Secret Wars. However, it should be noted that Midnight Suns and Moon Knight's return has not been confirmed by official sources. Isaac is reprising the role in What If...? Season 3, but that animated series takes place in different corners of the multiverse and likely won't involve the version fans already know.
Of course, many fans want Moon Knight to return for another solo project before he becomes part of an ensemble Avengers cast. The Moon Knight finale's Jake Lockley reveal raised questions that are arguably too complex to be covered in a film that must service as many characters as an Avengers film and too important to ignore until a later project. So, people may be excited to see Moon Knight return for a superhero team-up (assuming the rumors are true), but many view Moon Knight season 2's uncertainty as proof that Marvel Studios doesn't care about its fans.
Moon Knight is available on Disney Plus.
