MOON KNIGHT's Writers Include THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER, WANDAVISION And X-MEN '97 Scribes

With just over a month to go before Moon Knight finally arrives on Disney+ (making it our first MCU fix of 2022), the show's writers have been revealed courtesy of a listing on the Writers Guild of America West (via Murphy's Multiverse). The scribes working on each specific episode can be found below, and they're an undeniably talented bunch.

The premiere was penned by Moon Knight "Head Writer" Jeremy Slater with Michael Kastelein (The Falcon and the Winter Soldier) set as the sole writer on episode two. Beau DeMayo (The Witcher, X-Men '97) teams up with Peter Cameron (WandaVision) & Sabir Pirzada (Person of Interest) for three, while the latter two then pair up with Alex Meenehan (Bosch) for four. 

The penultimate episode comes our way from Rebecca Kirsch (The Exorcist) and Matthew Horton (an apparent newcomer), and Slater is back for Moon Knight's finale alongside Cameron & Pirzada (based on a story by Swagger's Danielle Iman & Slater).

It's a varied, exciting group, and Marvel Studios appears to be going for a mix of established writers alongside some they've worked with on other projects. Looking at Horton and Iman, they also want scribes who can come into the MCU here before potentially returning down the line. That gives them in-house talent akin to the writer's program used for their movies.

We've yet to receive a comprehensive list of confirmed directors for Moon Knight, though it does appear recent rumours that George Clooney might somehow be involved were, in fact, false.

Moon Knight is set to premiere on Disney+ on March 30.

@ModHaterSLADE - All of the talent surrounding this show gives me hope that it will be great.

Fingers crossed

TFATWS was pretty poorly written, but the rest of the crew seems solid

@tmp3 - I want to chalk some of that up to the COVID rewrites...

... But it would probably still be the weakest of the Disney+ shows.

@tmp3 - that’s an understatement

Hopefully its better than falcon and the winter soldier, wasnt bad but really outside of some high production value, feels like something you could get on network tv.

falcon and winter soldier should have been captain america 4

Eternals should have been a show

@dracula - I do think it was better than black widow. Both felt like civil war follow ups but I’m starting to think, well, you can’t have a Steve Rogers movie without Steve Rogers. Maybe my bar was too high. Still! Both had problems they were not about the protagonists at all.

Let's see how bad the FAWS episode ends up being

Oof looks like a shitty second episode followed by awesomeness

I see we already started with the "hurr durr Falcon Winter Soldier bad".
I have a feeling this is the show that will shut some people up about the MCU's TV efforts.

Everyone focused on the one shaky writers while 80% of the staff is more than decent and has great credits. Let’s go! Also, TFAWS was solid up until after episode 3.

@BlackBeltJones - a lot of glass half empty kinda people around here these days.

Love how everyone taking the opportunity to sh*t on TFAWS… only because I totally agree. That thing was such a slog to watch. Hoping Moon Knight less of that because the character is awesome.

I hope they do good and there's no netflix bloat to this.

TFAWS was such a disaster. Let's hope that Moon Knight isn't one.

@SirDuckAlot - Only thing that sounds shitty about that show was how Sharon's characterization was handled.
Most of it sounds solid, though.

NGL none of the writers inspire a ton of confidence. Haven't watched Umbrella Academy but have heard good things about it.

Cautiously optimistic about MK.

@regularmovieguy - the script is def the mystery. I liked Exorcist and I want success for Slater, but too many cooks type shit. I prefer one primary writer but Feige just isn’t about that I guess.

from the fatws team. so the word shit will be used a lot. also lots a racism i guess.

I liked FATWS, so I don't mind one of those writers return. Overall looks like it's gonna have vastly different episodes this show, which I guess fits with the story it wants to be telling

@bkmeijer - I didn’t like it compared to what I wanted it to be which is the Winter soldier part two,But it might be my second favorite so far. I’m hoping moon knight tops Wandavision, somethin has to

bkmeijer2 - 2/24/2022, 3:43 AM
@TheWalkingCuban - I had the same thing initially, but around the second episode I already saw it was its own thing. Definitely made it more enjoyable to watch
