Moon Knight’s conclusion not only sets it apart, but also validates its lead actor Oscar Isaac’s take on the fate of the series.

Following the end of moon knight, Oscar Isaac’s remarks about his character’s future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe have proven right. During its six-episode run, moon knight established itself as a departure from other Disney+ MCU shows. Its inclusion of darker themes such as mental health issues and supernatural violence sets the series apart from the usual Marvel offerings. As such, moon knight received positive reviews, particularly praising its stark detachment from the superhero universe and the performances of its main cast. While this arguably cemented the character’s future within the franchise, moon knightOscar Isaac presented a different perspective.

After fleshing out Marc Spector’s traumatic past, the MCU miniseries focused on bringing his journey to the afterlife to a satisfying conclusion. Meanwhile, Arthur Harrow (Ethan Hawke) demanded his plan to judge mankind through the Egyptian goddess Ammit. Layla El-Faouly (May Calamawy) freed Khonshu to help resurrect Moon Knight while becoming the Egyptian superhero Scarlet Scarab, the avatar of the goddess Taweret. When the dust settled, Marc and his mild-mannered Quirk Steven Grant proclaimed that they would stop serving Khonshu, deciding instead to live in perfect harmony. Without surprise, moon knight revealed in his post-credits scene that Marc — through his third most ruthless Quirk, Jake Lockley — remains Khonshu’s avatar.

Naturally, due to the positive reception the show has received, Oscar Isaac has weighed in on his character’s future in the MCU. For him, the idea of ​​creating more moon knight content”doesn’t matter so muchbecause he was already happy with the pace and storytelling quality of the Disney+ series. moon knightIsaac’s conclusion later proved Isaac right, as his self-contained nature granted the character flexibility as to where he could go next. Instead of preparing the future of the franchise, moon knight took on a new hero and did his arc justice in an insular and satisfying way. As a result, Marc and Steven have a promising and ambiguous future ahead of them, aside from a possible moon knight season 2. They could easily continue in a major feature film, appear alongside other characters, or disappear altogether for the next phase.

By the time moon knightWhen the finale aired, the fate of the titular hero was still hanging in the balance. Initially, Kevin Feige expressed interest in pursuing moon knightmoving on to MCU films, but Isaac revealed that his contract with Marvel would end with the show and that he hadn’t signed on for any more projects yet. Nonetheless, the show’s producers shared their vision for Moon Knight remaining in the MCU for the next decade, and their hopes for a potential second season – a proposal backed by Isaac, Calamawy, and Hawke themselves.

In the past, the studio wanted to offer its actors multi-project contracts, guaranteeing at least the survival of their characters. However, as Marvel develops its Phase Four movies and moves forward with its big expansion plans, it has deviated from this practice; instead, it hands out limited deals, leaving even players wanting more. Lucky for moon knightOscar Isaac’s foresight also highlights his character’s unparalleled flexibility when it comes to his MCU future.
