Moon Knight was among the Disney+ TV shows announced by Marvel Studios last year, and with She-Hulk and Ms. Marvel now cast, fans have been eagerly anticipating a long overdue official announcement about who will suit up as deranged vigilante Marc Spector.

That news finally broke last night, and with a leading man now secured, the series is back on track to begin shooting early next year. Often described by fans as Marvel's version of Batman, there's no denying that Moon Knight is a character with a tonne of potential, and the signs are all pointing to his arrival being a game-changer for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

That may seem like a bold statement, but based on what's been revealed about Moon Knight so far, it's clear it will be more than just another Marvel TV show (with an impact bound to be bigger than any of the series that debuted on Netflix a few years ago).

With that in mind, we've now collected all the confirmed details about Moon Knight, along with the biggest rumours - which include intel on some massive surprise appearances - and intel on the vision Marvel Studios has for this take on the fan-favourite superhero with multiple personalities.

10. There Are Plans For The Character In The Movies After His TV Show

It was at last year's D23 Expo that Marvel Studios announced plans for a Moon Knight TV series, and while WandaVision is set to arrive on Disney+ this December, the entire big and small screen slate has been pushed down the calendar thanks to current world events.

Now, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier has slipped into 2021, while the likes of Loki and Hawkeye are set to arrive much later than originally planned. As for Moon Knight, it will probably start streaming in 2022 at the earliest, but there are already plans in place for Marc Spector beyond his show.

Talking to The Hollywood Reporter shortly after Moon Knight, Ms. Marvel, and She-Hulk were announced, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige revealed, "Some characters we've announced like She-Hulk, Ms. Marvel, and Moon Knight you will meet for the first time on a Disney+ show and then they'll go into the movies but the MCU will now go back and forth."

This has been the plan for the Marvel Cinematic Universe for a while now, and it's going to be very interesting seeing where Moon Knight first appears following his small screen debut.
