During the recent Middle East Film and Comic Con (MEFCC), Oscar Isaac, who brought the enigmatic Marc Spector to life in the Disney+ series Moon Knight, hinted at an exciting possibility for his character’s future within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). When questioned by X/Twitter user @GeekHouseShow about Moon Knight’s next appearance, Isaac speculated on the prospect of his character joining forces with other iconic heroes, particularly within the Midnight Suns.
“I thought there was an interesting opportunity with Midnight Suns,” Isaac shared during the event. “There’s such interesting characters in there, and now that we’ve set the groundwork with learning who Marc [Spector], Steven [Grant], Jake [Lockley] 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.”

Isaac’s musings shed light on the potential for Moon Knight to integrate into the ranks of the Midnight Suns, a group known in the Marvel Universe for their battles against supernatural adversaries. Drawing from various comic book incarnations, the Midnight Suns typically unite formidable figures such as Ghost Rider, Morbius, and Blade to confront demonic threats, zombies, and otherworldly challenges.
As the lead actor embodying Marc Spector and his various personas, Isaac’s portrayal in Moon Knight captivated audiences in 2022. Despite the absence of official confirmation regarding a second season, Isaac remains optimistic about the series’ future, particularly given its unresolved narrative threads.
Lead director Mohamed Diab echoed Isaac’s sentiments, expressing that concluding the story at its current juncture would be “a waste.” However, uncertainty shrouds the nature of any potential continuation, whether it be another season, a standalone film, or a crossover event. This sentiment resonates with previous comments by Ethan Hawke, who emphasized the series’ potential as “the origin of a larger thing,” hinting at the possibility of Moon Knight serving as a launchpad for broader narratives within the MCU.
As fans eagerly await official announcements from Marvel Studios, Isaac’s enthusiasm for Moon Knight’s evolution and potential collaboration with the Midnight Suns offers tantalizing prospects for the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
