Marvel’s Midnight Sons Movie Hires New Writer—Is This Moon Knight’s Big Comeback?

by

There hasn’t been any update yet on whether Moon Knight will get a Season 2, but there’s still optimism for Oscar Isaac’s Marvel Cinematic Universe character. A recent development at Marvel Studios suggests a promising future for Moon Knight. Isaac’s portrayal of the character with dissociative identity disorder, who transforms into a vessel for an Egyptian Moon God, was highly appreciated when the series debuted in 2022. Not much information is available about a possible second season, but given that the character has been successfully introduced to the MCU, his solo series could lead to a new film: Midnight Sons.

There’s been a lot of buzz about Marvel Studios potentially creating a Midnight Sons movie recently. The most recent update comes from entertainment insider Daniel Richtman, who claims that Marvel has brought on a new screenwriter to work on the script for the Midnight Sons film. This news follows reports that Michael Green, who was previously assigned to write the Midnight Sons movie, has left the project. Unfortunately, Richtman couldn’t reveal the identity of the new writer.

This development is a strong indication that the “Midnight Sons” movie is making headway, which is exciting news for fans of “Moon Knight.” In the Marvel Comics universe, the Midnight Sons’ team usually consists of characters with supernatural abilities such as Blade, Elsa Bloodstone, Ghost Rider (who is speculated to lead the MCU team), and more recently, Moon Knight.

Moon Knight is one of only a few characters from the Midnight Sons group who have been introduced in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) at this point, which makes his potential involvement in upcoming projects exciting. Additionally, since there hasn’t been a second season announced for Moon Knight yet, it appears that Marvel may be holding onto the character of Oscar Isaac for a future project instead.

It was disappointing news for fans eagerly anticipating more of Moon Knight on Disney+ when producer Jeremy Slater hinted that any further development of the series relies on conversations with Kevin Feige and Oscar Isaac. If Isaac is committed to the Midnight Sons movie, it seems less probable that there will be a Season 2 for Moon Knight. Instead, fans may have to wait until a potential team-up film to catch another glimpse of their favorite supernatural hero.

What to Expect From the Midnight Sons in the MCU

If the Midnight Sons movie moves forward, the team would join the ranks of various groups active within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). This includes teams like the Avengers, Fantastic Four, X-Men, as well as the speculated Young Avengers/Champions.

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), the Midnight Sons have historically been summoned to tackle supernatural dangers, such as the emergence of the demon mother Lilith, who was their initial adversary in the comics. Given the nature of these otherworldly perils, the team’s membership consisted of individuals with extensive supernatural expertise, including Ghost Rider, Morbius, and even Doctor Strange.

Latest whispers hint at a trifurcation of the MCU’s future, one sector dedicated to supernatural matters. Given this, it seems logical for Marvel Studios to create a squad equipped to handle such otherworldly perils.

If the Midnight Sons movies pave the way for Moon Knight, they could potentially open up opportunities for additional Marvel characters like Mahershala Ali’s Blade, who has faced challenges in getting his standalone film produced.
