Speaking of Moon Knight, it would appear as though Marvel Studios are doing the same. Kevin Feige mentioned how the vigilante was being discussed on Marvel's "character cards", and in light of comments from Christopher Markus, Stephen McFeely and Ross Marquand, it would appear as though there is a feeling throughout the studio that the character would be a natural fit for the MCU.
This comes despite the fact many Marvel fans had thought he'd be the next to enter Marvel's TV shows on Netflix, with Spector's comics lending themselves more obviously to the tone of that particular medium. Obviously with Disney now producing their own streaming service that idea has fallen by the wayside, but perhaps that's why Marvel have been so open about his potential inclusion in the films going forward.
Regardless of that however, a Moon Knight film would work wonders for the MCU. Not only would it allow the studio to experiment with another genre, that kind of pulpy, crime drama horror his comics have used so often, it would also enable them to potentially resurrect the Marvel Knights banner too.
Take into account the aforementioned presence of the Secret Avengers, and it makes all the more sense as to why Marvel are so excited about New York's Spector.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
