Moon Knight is coming out in a year that's shaping up to be incredibly exciting for Marvel Studios, but it stands out from the rest of their jam-packed Phase 4 slate by looking entirely different to anything we've seen from the MCU before. Embracing the supernatural side of this world in a huge way, the Disney+ series could quite easily be a game-changer for the MCU as we know it.
Oscar Isaac recently spoke to Empire Magazine (via CBR) and had this to say about the possibility of Marc Spector returning in a possible second season. "It depends on whether people see the freakin’ show first. If they see it, then maybe we'll see more Moon Knight," the actor teased. "But I love playing him. Particularly Steven. I hope I get to visit him again. I love him so much. I feel he's someone real, who lives in the world. It's been a long time since I felt that kind of connection."
Isaac has previously referred to Moon Knight as a "limited series," but that doesn't mean the character won't go on to become a key part of the MCU on both the big and small screens.
Without seeing the show, it's hard to make any predictions about what the hero's future could look like, but it sounds like we can forget about him becoming a Batman-style vigilante. Moon Knight Head Writer Jeremy Slater insists that the plan is to focus on what makes Moony unique in his own right (plus, that's a role Daredevil is likely to take on protecting the streets of Hell's Kitchen).
"We've seen that side of Moon Knight [in some comics] as a playboy philanthropist, throwing moon-shaped boomerangs, flying around in a moon-shaped plane, but I don't think that's the coolest possible version of the character," the writer said, hinting that we'll be sticking with supernatural stories. That's not a bad thing, of course, but might disappoint those hoping for the vigilante version!
Moon Knight swoops onto Disney+ on March 30.
