MOON KNIGHT: Marvel's Brad Winderbaum Confirms Oscar Isaac Will Return As Marc Spector - But Not For Season 2

Marvel Studios' Brad Winderbaum has confirmed that plans are in place for Oscar Isaac to return as Marc Spector down the road, but it won't be for a second season of the Disney+ series...

Rumors that a second season of Moon Knight might be in development have been doing the rounds for quite a while now, but it doesn't sound like we will be getting more episodes of the Disney+ series. Of course, this doesn't mean we won't be seeing Marc Spector (and his various other personalties) in the MCU again.

Shortly after the first season aired back in 2022, star Oscar Isaac appeared alongside EP/director Mohammed Diab in a TikTok shared by the latter's niece, who asked if we're going to get a second season of Moon Knight. "Why else would we be in Cairo," Isaac replied.

Fans took this as confirmation that the show would return, but nothing ever came of it, and Marvel Television's Brad Winderbaum shared a disappointing update while speaking to Comicbook.com about Daredevil: Born Again.

“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."

It's not all bad news, however, as Winderbaum also revealed that we will see Isaac's Fist of Khonshu in the MCU again at some point: "There are plans for Moon Knight down the road."

When and where Moon Knight will return remains to be seen, but a recent rumor claimed that he will be a part of the next Avengers movies, and is also expected to appear in the Midnight Sons film.

The season finale of Moon Knight ended with the introduction of another persona, as the ruthless Jake Lockley emerged and joined forces with Khonshu to eliminate Arthur Harrow (Ethan Hawke). We're not sure where the story could go from there, but the show's plotlines are unlikely to carry over to the big screen, anyway.

Are you looking forward to seeing Moon Knight again? How do you feel about the news that the series won't return for a second season? Let us know in the comment section down below.

Moon Knight follows Steven Grant, a mild-mannered gift-shop employee, who becomes plagued with blackouts and memories of another life. Steven discovers he has dissociative identity disorder and shares a body with mercenary Marc Spector.

As Steven/Marc's enemies converge upon them, they must navigate their complex identities while thrust into a deadly mystery among the powerful gods of Egypt.

I liked Moon Knight.

I still think it should had been a movie.

But anyway it was a good intro, incomplete but a good intro.

Lets see him on the big screen next.

For [frick]s sake

Apophis71 - 2/23/2025, 2:34 PM

@THEKENDOMAN - I am between the two on Moon Knight, as in I do think he could work best in a blockbuster film however doing the whole DID aspect justice required the runtime of at least one season of TV first (stripping him of that aspect removes one of the most interesting things about him).

I'd be down for a second season to finish that with Jake either in his own show or a midnight sons one OR with a solo film as things stand.

The only thing I am unsure of is using him much in Doomsday or Secret Wars with where they left things with his show. Certainly can be part of one or both but without properly dealing with Jake Lockley is a tad limiting as complicates matters (ie can't realy do much in the way of shifting between personas)

That all said, if he had a three episode arc as a focus in season two of Born again then that should suffice to be fully ready for anything they'd want to do with him in the Avengers films, again without it we'd probably only have a minor supporting role only.

@THEKENDOMAN - I liked it but didn't think Ethan hawks villain was great. Never read moon knight comics but I liked how Isaacs portrayed the character. definitely some loose ends I would have liked to see fleshed out in a season 2

THEKENDOMAN - 2/23/2025, 3:57 PM

@Apophis71 - Always enjoy reading your breakdowns. Well said 👊

THEKENDOMAN - 2/23/2025, 3:59 PM

@NonPlayerC - The villain needed more meat for sure, but you see that's what I was saying about a movie, the villain would have been more justified.

But then again, we can also blame the writer for that.

slickrickdesigns - 2/23/2025, 1:31 PM

I’d love to see a series of special features like werewolf by night for the Dark Marvelverse. Then make a big budget film for a midnight son’s team up.

MakeAmericaGrea - 2/23/2025, 1:32 PM

Secret War cameo.

Disney scrapping shows and second seasons.

They're just racing to the finish line and getting Doomsday and Secret War out so they can reboot the MCU.

MarkCassidy - 2/23/2025, 1:33 PM

Moon Knight: Good opener, good finale. That's it.

Latverian - 2/23/2025, 2:12 PM

@MarkCassidy - Strong disagree. Episodes 4 and 5 are among the MCU TV's finest, but its finale felt immensely disappointing.

comicfan100 - 2/23/2025, 1:34 PM

Yeah, probably either Avengers Doomsday or Secret Wars. I can't imagine having an actor at Oscar's level and not using him for your 2 biggest crossover movies post Endgame.

whatevtrev - 2/23/2025, 1:36 PM

@comicfan100 - I'm a huge Moon Knight fan and the series made me sad. It wasn't awful but it wasn't up to scratch either. Make him one of the Avengers and I'd be a happy man!

TheVisionary25 - 2/23/2025, 1:49 PM

@comicfan100 - yep

He’ll if it’s true they are also working on Midnight Sons movie , that could be a part of the plans aswell.

S8R8M - 2/23/2025, 1:39 PM

I feel like a lot of the shows could have been movies. Someone out there must be like Topher Grace and edit the shows down into better movies.

OrgasmicPotatoe - 2/23/2025, 1:48 PM

@S8R8M - There's a Moon Knight fan edit, it's about 4hrs. It's not bad, but not much better than the show itself.

S8R8M - 2/23/2025, 2:29 PM

@OrgasmicPotatoe - Cool. I will be up for watching that. Cheers bud.

MakeAmericaGrea - 2/23/2025, 4:55 PM

@S8R8M -

Do you guys know each other in real life?

Are you members of a facial hair enthusiasts club?

IronDean2099 - 2/23/2025, 1:43 PM

Could have been better but I still liked it. Love the character and there's a lot of potential for some fun appearances and interactions with him in other projects.

Apophis71 - 2/23/2025, 2:42 PM

@IronDean2099 - It certainly could have been better, if they had simply opted not to do another cut away from Jake in the final episode for instance opinions all around would likely have been more unanimously positive. After teasing Jake throughout and the other two suspecting each other to only pay that off with an end credit was a daft option to go with. I feel they actualy did DID more justice than is the norm even if due to the nature of the character it still comes with issues regarding how it actualy is as a condition IRL the way they went and mostly good to great but needed a stronger landing not a to be continued tease.

ModHaterSLADE - 2/23/2025, 1:44 PM

Good, it's been long enough. Now hopefully we get a Werewolf By Night crossover like the comics.

OrgasmicPotatoe - 2/23/2025, 1:49 PM

If he's only featuring, they could get away with him not being present for more than half of it, unlike the show.

harryba11zack - 2/23/2025, 1:52 PM

who gives a shit about moon man now that we have the first egyptian superhero

Latverian - 2/23/2025, 2:20 PM

@harryba11zack - Does that annoy you?

DarthOmega - 2/23/2025, 2:58 PM

@harryba11zack - I claaaaapped I claaaaaap when I saw her.

Finally, after all of my hopes and prayers we finally got an Egyptian, Phoenix based, strong woman of color.

So many felt seen by this. All 4 of them who watched this show.

OrgasmicPotatoe - 2/23/2025, 3:31 PM

@DarthOmega - I mean...

She's pretty cute I wouldn't mind seeing her again. But she needs her own identity. This is the Scarlet Scarab.

DarthOmega - 2/23/2025, 3:44 PM

@OrgasmicPotatoe - Very cute

Batmangina - 2/23/2025, 4:11 PM

@OrgasmicPotatoe - YES! Frank Robbins in The Invaders - Marvel Bronze Age awesomeness

MakeAmericaGrea - 2/23/2025, 4:58 PM

@harryba11zack -

She's alright.

But I'd rather they abandoned her and got Tigra and Squirrel Girl in there, for starters.

CaptainAwkward - 2/23/2025, 1:52 PM

Moonknight is underrated. It’s the best original limited tv series within the MCU. I liked the show it felt fresh, Oscar was great in the role. I love the dualistic nature of the character as well as its mystical origins. The show had a good amount of subtext concerning mental health, schizophrenia, abuse etc. The middle section dragged a little but overall I felt it was well rounded and a great introduction to one of marvel’s B-level characters. Look forward to seeing his next appearance.

Polaris - 2/23/2025, 1:57 PM

@CaptainAwkward - I thought it was great too. Probably my favourite along with Wandavision and Loki S1.

Apophis71 - 2/23/2025, 2:45 PM

@CaptainAwkward - He doesn't have schizophrenia, everyone always gets that wrong, that is a form os psychosis and NOT multiple personalities.

https://www.nhs.uk/mental-health/conditions/schizophrenia/overview/

Otherwise I agree

RolandD - 2/23/2025, 4:21 PM

@Apophis71 - Dissociative Identity Disorder to be precise.

Apophis71 - 2/23/2025, 4:45 PM

@RolandD - Yup, used to be called multiple personality disorder but they changed in the main from that to DID in part due to the incorrect association with media representations of what they tended to refer to as schizophrenia but also to connect it more closely to the other Dissociative conditions.

https://www.nhs.uk/mental-health/conditions/dissociative-disorders/

RolandD - 2/23/2025, 4:56 PM

@Apophis71 - Are you in the field too? I’ve never seen an actual case of it, but it is supposed to be pretty rare.

Forthas - 2/23/2025, 2:08 PM

I highly encourage Marvel to revamp the character and ditch the multiple personalities angle. The potential there for a larger than life super hero in the mold of Daredevil is really strong but it is hindered by the story elements that now exist specifically his mental state.

Say YES to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) ... say NO to Stupidity, Extremism, and Ignorance (SEI) and Childish Reactionary Tantrums (CRT).

Apophis71 - 2/23/2025, 2:53 PM

@Forthas - Moonknight sans DID too easily could end up looking like Batman, just going under cover under differing names not having mental health issues would have been a fail for me. So should never be fully ditched but once explored can be taken to a point where it need not be a major aspect of adaptions (ie mostly one dominant persona most the time) but needs that potential to loose control and go more brutal when Jake takes over fully (just without the cutaway).

Forthas - 2/23/2025, 3:04 PM

@Apophis71 -

Black Panther is also compared to Batman but does not need DID to differentiate himself. You don't have to have Moon Knight witness his parents death or have a sidekick. The stories themselves and a unique background and rogues villain gallery is enough to make him NOT Batman.

Say YES to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) ... say NO to Stupidity, Extremism, and Ignorance (SEI) and Childish Reactionary Tantrums (CRT).

Apophis71 - 2/23/2025, 3:12 PM

@Forthas - Simply don't see the point of ditching a key aspect of a character like that, not saying it couldn't be done but why?

As to Black Panther, there is a lot more that makes him differ from Batman comparisons like actualy having his own superpowers which Bruce doesn't without even getting into rich American kid being so radicaly different to King of a fictional high tech African Nation.

I mean they could have him JUST transform at times due to being an avatar of a god but on it's own way less interesting to me without the mental health condition too.

Forthas - 2/23/2025, 3:43 PM

@Apophis71 - What attracts us (or at least me) to the idea of a Super hero is the aspect of their motivations and influences. Having someone with several personalities muddles what their motivations are and even what it is that influences the decisions from one identity to another. It is frustrating trying to marry those differences and at the same time relate to the hero part of the Super hero.

Say YES to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) ... say NO to Stupidity, Extremism, and Ignorance (SEI) and Childish Reactionary Tantrums (CRT).

Apophis71 - 2/23/2025, 4:11 PM

@Forthas - There are loads of more generic characters with that, when you have a more unique one with other aspects why remove what makes them differ?

Would you want Black Panther without Wakanda just based in New York instead?

Others took issues with the supernatural powers aspect too, would you remove that as well? As if so you have a rich investigator who puts on a costume and uses fighting skills and iconographic form of throwing stars and other gadgets.

If however he is simply carrying out the will of a god (ie keeping the supernatural aspect) that undermines what their motivations are anyway.

This is the issue specific of this character, strip away one core aspect it causes differing problems as a whole, thus you get the why not skip and go with another character that doesn't have those complications.

Thing is however is that DID can go into remission and certainly be taken to a place where more manageable thus we can get to what you would prefer. As in to a point where 99% of the time he doesn't switch personality and is mostly someone investigating crime as well as less of the god in control too for stories. Better to get the complex aspect out the way first in a series, get him to a place where he has in the main dealt with the issues of his past and in more control of the condition than to start simple then delve into the more complex later (like we have at times delving into duality etc with characters like Batman in films) to my way of thinking.

Latverian - 2/23/2025, 2:26 PM

If anyone still has second thoughts about Isaac in that part, just watch episode 5 again. Impeccable performance, and so was the show's music as well, both score- and song-wise.

There's a lot left to be desired by the writing, especially that rushed anticlimactic final episode, but acting was top-notch, even vocally by Khonshu and Taweret.
