Oscar Isaac may not come again as Moon Knight to the Marvel Cinematic Universe anytime quickly, because the actor’s new feedback deal a unfavourable blow to his return possibilities. Moon Knight season 1 was launched on Disney+ in 2022. The MCU TV present was met with reward from critics and audiences alike, holding 86% and 88% Rotten Tomatoes scores with every group, respectively.
Moon Knight season 1’s ending noticed the arrival of the hero’s third character, Jake Lockley, teasing the story of Moon Knight season 2. Nonetheless, greater than three years later, we nonetheless don’t have any concrete updates on whether or not the present might ever come again for extra. Now, after current feedback from its star, Moon Knight as a personality would possibly take even longer to return again to the MCU.
Chatting with GQ, Oscar Isaac commented on whether or not he might return as Poe Dameron within the Star Wars franchise. Whereas that’s not instantly tied to the MCU, the actor’s reply connects to the Marvel franchise in a key means. Isaac mentioned, “I would be open to it, though proper now I am not so open to working with Disney.”
The interview occurred two days after ABC, owned by Disney, took Jimmy Kimmel Reside! off the air earlier than reinstating the present. As such, Isaac’s feedback had been most certainly in direct connection to that state of affairs. The Moon Knight star additionally continued, saying that if Disney did “not succumb to fascism, that will be nice.” Whereas Jimmy Kimmel’s present got here again, Isaac’s phrases weren’t mild.
As such, it’s arduous to pinpoint whether or not the actor could be open to coming again to work with Marvel Studios, which additionally has Disney as its dad or mum firm, after the ordeal. Likewise, Disney itself may not be too excessive on Isaac after his current feedback. On condition that the MCU has proven no rush to deliver again Moon Knight, that ought to proceed.
Why Oscar Isaac’s Moon Knight Not Returning To The MCU Would Be Disappointing
If Moon Knight season 1 had been the one time we acquired Oscar Isaac enjoying Moon Knight in live-action, then that will be extremely irritating. The actor did an impeccable job of constructing two completely different personas for the character, making Steven Grant and Marc Spector equally fascinating, however in their very own distinctive methods. We solely noticed a snippet of the third alter, Jake Lockley, within the finale.
As such, the MCU had already arrange a future for Moon Knight, and Isaac by no means coming again to see it fulfilled would eliminate it. Moreover, we by no means acquired to see Moon Knight work together with different MCU heroes in live-action, however what little we noticed of these dynamics within the animated What If…? sequence confirmed promise for a live-action future.
Sadly, based mostly on Oscar Isaac’s new Disney feedback, the actor is unlikely to return as Moon Knight within the Multiverse Saga’s two Avengers motion pictures, which ought to unite many of the MCU. Hopefully, with so many supernatural characters now within the franchise, the Midnight Sons might come to the MCU, bringing again Moon Knight in some unspecified time in the future sooner or later.
