Fans have been begging for more Moon Knight ever since the Oscar Isaac-led Disney Plus series first premiered. However, director Mohamed Diab recently revealed that Marvel never had plans for a second season for the show. In an interview translated by The Cosmic Circus, Diab explained that Marvel’s usual format for series projects is six episodes, with exceptions like ‘WandaVision’ which had a different format. This means that Marvel had a plan for Moon Knight from the beginning, regardless of its success.
While it may be disappointing for fans to hear that there won’t be a season 2 of Moon Knight, the show’s post-credits scene hints that there may be more plans for the character in the MCU. So, while we may not see a continuation of the series, we can still look forward to seeing Oscar Isaac in other Marvel projects.
During a New York Comic-Con panel, Oscar Isaac himself was asked if he plans to return to the role of Moon Knight in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Although he couldn’t give away any specifics, his response hinted at the character’s future in the MCU.
“All I can say is it is not the last we’ve heard of the system that is Moon Knight.”
Developed by Jeremy Slater, Moon Knight aired as a six-episode series on Disney Plus from March to May earlier this year. While Marvel hasn’t officially announced a second season, the show’s final episode left the door open for the character to return in some capacity within the MCU.
The series centers around Marc Spector, a man with dissociative identity disorder, who discovers that he has a third persona named “Jake Lockley” that works alongside the Egyptian moon god, Khonshu. Spector’s main identities are unaware of Jake’s existence, adding an intriguing layer to the character.
The cast of Moon Knight includes Oscar Isaac, May Calamawy, Karim El Hakim, F. Murray Abraham, Ethan Hawke, Ann Akinjirin, David Ganly, Khalid Abdalla, Gaspard Ulliel, Antonia Salib, Fernanda Andrade, Rey Lucas, Sofia Danu, and Saba Mubarak.
For now, Moon Knight can be streamed on Disney Plus. As for the future of Marvel Studios, we’ll have to stay tuned for the latest updates. Don’t forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel for more exciting content!
