In a twist from what fans might anticipate, Moon Knight may reappear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) through an unconventional route rather than immediately returning for another season on Disney+. The series, titled Moon Knight and debuting on March 30, 2022, marked the beginning of new characters joining the MCU’s small screen lineup, including Ms. Marvel and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. However, it seems like we won’t see a second season featuring Oscar Isaac in the near future.
In an update about Marvel’s future plans, it appears that Brad Winderbaum, who oversees Comic Book, Television, and Animation at Marvel Studios, mentioned that Moon Knight is on their agenda. However, instead of a second season, they currently don’t have immediate plans for one. Instead, Winderbaum suggested that the way Marvel has developed its television shows has been in stages, with Moon Knight being part of an earlier phase designed to introduce characters for future connections. For now, they are focusing on creating standalone series more akin to traditional television. Despite this, Winderbaum expressed his desire to see a second season of Moon Knight in the future, but there are other plans for the character in the pipeline.
Winderbaum hasn’t completely dismissed the possibility of a second season for Moon Knight, as in Hollywood they rarely say never. His past statements about potential continuations of shows like Hawkeye and Agatha All Along hint that Moon Knight could potentially return. However, at this point, it seems that Moon Knight Season 2 isn’t aligning with Marvel’s current strategy for TV series, which favors long-running, annual shows. Plus, scheduling around a busy actor like Oscar Isaac doesn’t make things easier. This could potentially impact other solo MCU series such as She-Hulk: Attorney at Law and Ms. Marvel, but only time will tell.
Where Moon Knight Could Return
In a surprising turn of events, the final episode of Moon Knight left fans hanging with a major twist: Marc Spector and Steven Grant share a third persona, Jake Lockley, who continues to serve the Egyptian deity Khonshu. This revelation happened three years back, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe has yet to explore this plot thread further. The character of Moon Knight has made an appearance in an episode of “What If…?” set in a different reality, but the main storyline remains unaddressed.
If a second season of “Moon Knight” isn’t planned, the query transforms into ‘where might Moon Knight make his next appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe?’ Given that “Avengers: Doomsday” is scheduled for release in May 2026 and features Oscar Isaac as part of the superhero team, introducing such a well-known character could be a significant move. Previously, Moon Knight has been an Avenger in the comics, making it plausible that he might catch Sam Wilson’s attention to join his New Avengers squad post the events of “Captain America: Brave New World.
It’s possible that Moon Knight would align with the mood of Daredevil: Born Again, potentially appearing in the upcoming Season 2 slated for 2026. Given that Daredevil: Born Again is planning a more adult-oriented, R-rated feel, fans may appreciate the grittier Moon Knight battles they felt were missing from his initial Disney+ series. Notably, both Moon Knight and Daredevil are commonly linked to the mature Marvel Knights line of comics. If this collaboration occurs, these two characters, along with The Punisher, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Echo, could contribute to a distinct segment within the MCU.
Another plausible scenario is that Moon Knight might serve as the main character in an upcoming film focused on a supernatural team-up. Originally introduced in the comic “Werewolf by Night”, it’s worth noting that Werewolf by Night will also star in a special release this Halloween of 2022. Marvel Studios seems to be expanding their roster for supernatural and horror genres, with films like the long-awaited Blade movie on the horizon. Characters such as Moon Knight, Werewolf by Night, Man-Thing, Blade (and potentially Ghost Rider) could form an extraordinary team. Similar to the Hulk, Moon Knight has a knack for appearing in various titles rather than starring in his own solo title again.
