MOON KNIGHT Star Oscar Isaac's Next MCU Appearance May Have Been Revealed By Canceled Convention Appearance

Moon Knight star Oscar Isaac has been forced to pull out of this month's Star Wars Celebration event in Japan, leading to theories that he might be gearing up to shoot a role in an upcoming 2026 MCU movie.

Moon Knight premiered on Disney+ in 2022, and while it was a little rough around the edges, the series got fans talking and featured a stellar performance (well, performances) from lead star Oscar Isaac. 

Unfortunately, we haven't seen the character since. The show ended with Marc Spector and Steven Grant seemingly freed from Khonshu's influence, only for us to learn that a third personality, the ultra-violent Jake Lockley, was still doing the Moon God's bidding in secret. 

Isaac was recently announced as a guest at the upcoming Star Wars Celebration event in Japan. The actor was set to sign autographs and take photos with fans, though many wondered if he might also be there to announce his return as Poe Dameron in a future Star Wars project.

Today, we've learned that Isaac has dropped out of the event "due to changes in his production schedule." While not confirmed, this has led to immediate speculation that he's going to be busy shooting, oh, a little project Marvel Studios plans to start filming this coming Monday.

Yes, we're talking about Avengers: Doomsday

Moon Knight was supposed to play a key role in Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and would be an exciting addition to a story like this (especially if this is where we get to meet Jake and whatever his "Moon Knight" looks like).

There are no longer plans for Moon Knight season 2, so introducing moviegoers to this character before a possible Midnight Sons feature makes all the sense in the Multiverse. We should also point out that a few reliable scoopers have repeatedly claimed Moony will feature in the next Avengers movies. 

"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," Marvel Television boss Brad Winderbaum recently explained. "And moving forward, our priorities have shifted."

"We’re making shows as shows that can exist as annual releases, more like television," he continued before promising, "There are plans for Moon Knight down the road."

"I thought there was an interesting opportunity with Midnight Sons," Isaac has previously said while addressing his MCU future. "There’s such interesting characters in there, and now that we’ve set the groundwork with learning who Marc, Steven, Jake are, it could be an interesting opportunity to see him as part of a team and what that dynamic would be."

"So I think that would be exciting, I think for me, I definitely hope there’s some room to explore that possibility," the actor concluded.

As always, we'll have to wait and see whether this leads anywhere. Isaac has several upcoming projects in various stages of production, but with Star Wars Celebration taking place from April 18 - 20, Avengers: Doomsday seems like a safe bet.

Avengers: Doomsday is set to be released in May 2026, with Avengers: Secret Wars scheduled to arrive in May 2027.

I keep saying this, all Marvel movie and TV characters from past and present would appear. It would be cameo bukkake and fans would love it.

Doom should in background in all of his scenes and in foreground there should be cameo galore left right and center. Bring FF from Roger corman, Ben affleck DD and so on.

Get them all

Bring it! He was too excellent in the role(s) to not bring him back.

All the actors wont spend 6 months in London, since the movie will have +50 characters likely.

so this doesnt mean anything, you know? Actors have plenty of projects each years, either films or tv shows, so the schedule could be for any other project.

Man, that sucks for the fans who were excited to see him there but oh well…

It could be for Doomsday but the guy is I think shooting for Beef S2 so perhaps something changed there now that they need him on those dates (that’s not even mentioning the other projects such as films or another tv show with Ana De Armas he’s doing).

Anyway if it isn’t in the Avengers films , I do hope we see him again soon back in the role (s) because Moon Knight remains one of my favorite post EG projects so far…

He was so good in it as both Marc & Steven which helped carried the show alongside May Calawamy’s Layla and Ethan Hawke’s Harrow that it would be nice to see how both of them deal with Jake who is meant to be the most violent of the 3.

It would be great to see him as Moon Night in the Avengers films. Although, what about Apocalypse again?

@6of13 - Yeah, like actual Apocalypse. Give him a 2nd chance like the rest of the Foxverse.

@6of13 - fans would be SO PISSED if he showed up as Apocalypse and not Moon Knight. 😂

@6of13 - I didn’t care much for the movie but this might be an unpopular opinion…

I actually enjoyed his performance as Apocalypse…

Giving him this cult leader energy was cool imo.

I don't think people realize truly how desperate they are. They'll bring in EVERYONE they can over the course of Doomsday & Secret Wars - whether they show up for tiny cameos or larger roles.

We are going to have a cast of at least 50+

That would be good, as long as we actually get to see Moon Knight in action a bit more than we did in the show.

Oscar Isaacs is great. That sh!tty D+ show wasn't his fault.

We need Oscar Isaac Moonknight on the big screen. Luckily almost none of the general movie going audience saw the lousy TV show.

I don't know. seems like a reach. The show was a massive bomb, so introducing him in this already bloated movie seems unlikely to me.

Issac is great with the character, shame he didn't get more to do with him yet.
