Fans of Marvel’s Moon Knight have been on edge for three years, wondering if Oscar Isaac’s Marc Spector will return to the MCU after the show’s gripping 2022 debut on Disney+. The series, which introduced the complex vigilante with multiple personalities—Marc Spector, Steven Grant, and the mysterious Jake Lockley—left viewers with a tantalizing mid-credits cliffhanger, but no clear path forward. Now, creator Jeremy Slater has shared an update that’s equal parts hopeful and frustrating: Moon Knight is set to return, but a second season isn’t in the cards anytime soon.
In a recent interview with ComicBook at the opening of Universal’s Epic Universe park, Slater addressed the burning question about Moon Knight’s future. “Talk to Kevin Feige, talk to Oscar Isaac. I think the ball’s really in their court,” he said, admitting he’s as curious as fans about what’s next. Slater remains optimistic, noting that Marvel’s hesitance to greenlight Season 2 is puzzling given the show’s popularity and rich mythology, but he’s hopeful the character will reappear. “It’s my hope that we’re gonna see him again,” he added, hinting that the decision hinges on Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige and Isaac’s willingness to return.
Marvel Television head Brad Winderbaum also chimed in, offering a bit more clarity. He explained that Moon Knight was part of a wave of Disney+ shows designed to introduce characters for future MCU tie-ins, but the studio’s focus has shifted to multi-season series like Daredevil: Born Again that release annually. “I would love to see a Moon Knight Season 2, but there are plans for Moon Knight down the road,” Winderbaum said, confirming the character’s return in some form, though not necessarily in a solo series.
The 2022 series, praised for Isaac’s stellar performance and its bold dive into Egyptian mythology and mental health themes, ended with a bombshell: Jake Lockley, Marc’s third persona, was revealed to be working with the god Khonshu, gunning down foes in a shadowy limo. Fans expected this to set up Season 2, but Marvel’s silence since then has been deafening. Isaac’s brief return as Moon Knight in the animated What If…? Season 3 gave fans a taste of the character, but it’s clear they’re craving more live-action action.
Speculation is swirling about where Moon Knight might pop up next. Some fans on X are buzzing about a potential role in Avengers: Doomsday (2026), though Isaac’s name was absent from the initial cast announcement, and the Russo Brothers have stayed coy about Disney+ heroes appearing in the film. Others point to Avengers: Secret Wars (2027) or a rumored Midnight Sons movie, which could unite supernatural heroes like Moon Knight, Blade, and Ghost Rider. A Filmfare report fueled this hype, suggesting Moon Knight could join a Midnight Sons team-up, aligning with Marvel’s growing supernatural corner.
Slater emphasized that Isaac’s passion for the role is key. “It’s as much or as little Moon Knight as Oscar wants to do,” he said, noting that Isaac’s nuanced portrayal of Marc, Steven, and Jake was a highlight of the series. Without him, recasting would be tough—the character’s fractured psyche and Isaac’s charisma are a tough act to follow.
While the lack of Season 2 stings, especially with that unresolved Jake Lockley twist, Marvel’s confirmation of “plans” keeps hope alive. For now, it’s a waiting game, but with Isaac’s star power and Moon Knight’s unique vibe, his comeback—whether in a team-up or a new project—could be a game-changer for the MCU’s Multiverse Saga.
