Moon Knight Creator Addresses Oscar Isaac’s MCU Future

For nearly four years now, Marvel fans have waited with bated breath for an update on the status of Moon Knight.

Since the conclusion of the fan-favorite Disney+ series on May 4, 2022, Moon Knight’s presence has loomed large. Nevertheless, the anti-hero has yet to reappear.

Despite hopes that Marvel was setting up Midnight Sons, or that Moon Knight would appear in the Doctor Strange or Blade franchises, the studio has remained silent on the character’s future.

Jeremy Slater Weighs In

Now, however, we have a better idea of what it would take for Oscar Isaac to suit up as the beloved anti-hero again.

During a recent interview with ComicBook, Moon Knight creator Jeremy Slater shed some light on the franchise’s future.

According to Slater, Isaac has signed on for more Moon Knight stories, but they will only move forward if they are creatively compelling.

“The contract Oscar Isaac signed was very much like, we will do more stories when we find stories that he is creatively excited to tell,” Slater explained.

“They can just sort of snap their fingers and summon him back for another adventure. He’s really creatively involved in the future of that character. So I would imagine part of the challenge, and part of the joy over there, is finding: what stories does Oscar want to explore, and how does he want that character to be used? What’s something that would entice him to get back and play in that sandbox one more time?”

What’s Next?

While Slater believes there is a future for Moon Knight in the MCU, he would likely not be involved in a second season of the series.

“You know, if they did a second season, I doubt I would be creatively involved,” Slater candidly said.

“I don’t have any inside information in terms of where the character is. I haven’t talked to Marvel in three years at this point. And I don’t know. Is there gonna be a Moon Knight movie? Is there gonna be a Midnight Sons movies there gonna be a season 2? I’m as much in the dark as everyone else.”

Nevertheless, Slater is “very hopeful and optimistic that we will see him again at some point, because I think he [Isaac] had fun, you know. He was proud of it and was happy that a lot of fans responded positively. So, I would be surprised if we didn’t see him again, but that’s just me speculating as a fan.”

Hopefully, we learn more about Moon Knight’s future soon.
