As a long-time Marvel fan who has seen countless superheroes come and go, I must say that Moon Knight has truly captivated my attention with his intricate storyline and unique character dynamics. The way the series delves into the life of Marc Spector, a man plagued by multiple personalities and a deep-seated connection to ancient Egyptian gods, is nothing short of mesmerizing.
Movie director Mohamad Diab’s restricted action series “Moon Knight” is one of Marvel Cinematic Universe’s most powerful streaming ventures. Though it boasts high quality, unfortunately, it has been overshadowed by the franchise, leaving several plot threads unresolved or untied.
A substantial number of enthusiasts eagerly anticipate further installments, whether Season 2 or a cinematic sequel, that could expand upon the intriguing plotlines initially presented in Moon Knight. Here are the top ten Moon Knight storylines left unexplored within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
10 Will Layla and Marc Stay Together?
In the storyline of Moon Knight, Marc Spector, who has a shared identity with Steven Grant and suffers from Dissociative Identity Disorder, is married to Layla. However, it’s Layla (played by May Calamawy) who seems drawn towards Steven. As the series concludes, the fate of their relationship remains uncertain.
Could Marc and Layla Ever Reconcile?
A significant number of fans are imagining a reconciliation between Marc and Layla, and Episode 6 appears to suggest that this might occur. One fan on Reddit commented that while Layla and Steven make a charming couple, they hope to see Marc and Layla resolve their differences. Other viewers in the discussion mentioned that although Layla dates everyone in the comics, the series’ Marc carries too much jealousy to accept Layla’s feelings for Steven.
9 Frenchie
While Jean-Paul Duchamp, or “Frenchie,” doesn’t play a significant role in Moon Knight as of now, the series subtly suggests his potential future involvement. In other words, his presence within the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been confirmed, as evidenced by a brief yet crucial telephone scene where he places a call to Marc Spector.
Head Writer Said Frenchie Will “Hopefully” Be Explored in the Future
Jeremy Slater, the main writer, shared with ComicBook.com that Frenchie didn’t have a significant role in Moon Knight because when he appears prominently, it requires careful handling. He elaborated, “We want to give him a genuine…character, and a purpose within the plot….mentioning his name on the phone was our way of signaling to fans, yes, Frenchie is part of this universe.
8 Midnight Man
In disguise, “Midnight Man” is actually Anton Mogart, a cunning art thief, who has earned his nickname due to his consistent appearances at midnight. Equipped with advanced martial arts skills and both a handgun and a dagger, he makes his first appearance in episode 3 of the miniseries.
Midnight Man’s Story Cut Short by Sudden Tragedy
The talented actor Gaspard Ulliel, known for his role as Midnight Man, delivered exceptional performances before tragically passing away due to a ski accident at the young age of 37. Fans speculate that the executives of Marvel Cinematic Universe were keen on developing more stories surrounding Midnight Man, and might have been interested in exploring a storyline about his son, Jeff Wilde – an adversary of Moon Knight who becomes a cyborg in the comics.
7 Will Layla Continue as the Scarlet Scarab?
In the series Moon Knight, it concludes with Layla assuming the role of Tawaret’s avatar. This transformation gives her a fresh persona as the MCU adaptation of Scarlet Scarab, a well-known Marvel Comics hero. Yet, due to the nature of the characters’ ability to change form, it is uncertain whether she will maintain this identity indefinitely.
Layla’s Next Moves
Some supporters think Layla’s new role as an avatar will allow her to carry on with her previous objective of safeguarding Egyptian artifacts. On the other hand, some viewers see her avatar duties as a short-term task aimed at stopping Arthur Harrow. Since there’s no word yet about more episodes of Moon Knight, these and other speculations remain unanswered.
6 The Gods of Egyptian Mythology
The rich folklore of ancient Egypt has often been a captivating aspect in various film productions, and it significantly contributes to the plot of Moon Knight. The protagonist, Marc Spector, alias Moon Knight, is not just an ordinary superhero; he devotes himself to the Egyptian moon deity, Khonshu. Additionally, there are connections to Ammit, the entity that consumes the deceased, and Anubis, the god associated with death.
Is It All In Marc’s Head?
Regarding the storyline, there’s a certain vagueness intertwined with the role of mythology, which some viewers interpret as an extension of Marc’s mental instability, given his struggles with dissociative identity disorder. Others, however, argue that Marc’s connections to different Avengers teams suggest that the Egyptian gods’ presence could be authentic.
5 Layla’s Superpowers
The enigma surrounding Layla’s extraordinary abilities has sparked a lot of debate among fans, fueling the desire for another season. Following her connection with the Egyptian deity Tawaret, Layla acquired the talent to control energy, even forming protective shields. It remains unclear if these powers transform Layla into the Scarlet Scarab and if this transformation is long-lasting or temporary.
Can Khonshu Give Superpowers to Layla?
It seems some fans have pondered if Khonshu might grant abilities to Layla. Evidently, it seems he could, but with a condition: he can only bestow powers on one person at a given moment. However, Marc is hesitant because Layla becoming his avatar, as Khonshu desires, poses potential risks that he wants to avoid.
4 Harrow’s Past as Khonshu’s Avatar
In a retelling, here’s how it could sound:
Is Arthur Harrow Telling the Truth?
In the second installment of Moon Knight, titled “Summon the Suite,” Arthur Harrow makes an intriguing disclosure – he claims to be the embodiment of Khonshu. This aspect of his character isn’t delved into deeply, leaving some viewers speculating about the authenticity of his past and questioning whether Harrow is truthful about his identity.
3 Ammit’s Tomb
As a cinephile, I found myself captivated by the enigmatic character of Ammit, the crocodile deity who served as one of the principal antagonists in this riveting series. The anticipation among viewers was palpable as we journeyed together towards the unveiling of Ammit’s tomb – a pivotal moment that had been teased throughout the show. Our heroes, with their backs against the wall, were on a mission to locate this tomb before the cataclysmic power source within it could be activated, causing chaos and devastation that would have reverberated across the entire narrative landscape.
Why Couldn’t Khonshu Locate the Tomb?
It was Steven Grant who managed to find the tomb, leaving some fans puzzled as to why Khonshu couldn’t do it. A plausible theory is that the tomb was concealed from divine intervention through magic. Another possibility could be that Khonshu simply wasn’t aware of the fact that the burial site was linked to the celestial bodies.
2 Jake’s Origin
As a movie enthusiast deeply engrossed in the Marvel universe, I can’t help but be intrigued by the elusive character of Jake Lockley in Moon Knight. With the internal battle between Steven and Marc, Jake’s sudden appearance only adds another layer to the turmoil within Moon Knight’s psyche. The question on everyone’s lips is: who is this enigmatic figure and what role will he play?
Although Steven is working to aid Marc in overcoming his past wounds, it remains unclear what Jake’s current role is. Jake stands out as an enigma in the Moon Knight series, leaving many Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) enthusiasts eagerly anticipating any future revelations about him. After Jake’s debut, fans have been closely watching for additional details in post-credit scenes, hoping to gain insight into his character and backstory within the MCU.
1 Is Jake Evil?
It’s generally agreed among Moon Knight fans that we can anticipate the reappearance of Jake in future Marvel Cinematic Universe projects. However, the specific role he will play is still undetermined. In Moon Knight, we were introduced to Jake in a post-credits scene, suggesting a complex and possibly dark persona who serves Khonshu, adding another layer to the already intricate relationship between Marc Spector and his multiple identities. With the maze of Marc’s various personalities, fans are likely looking forward to exploring new mysteries as each solved puzzle opens up more possibilities.
