Moon Knight: 10 Characters Who Could Appear In The Show

4. Punisher

Khonshu bestows powers upon Marc in return for consistent sacrifices and acts of vengeance to fuel the moon god’s hunger for recognition. Though Marc and his different personalities can be comfortable with beating on criminals in the night, the final push of murdering them always strikes a chord with Marc’s inner morals.

As a comparison, Khonshu often singles out Frank Castle, AKA The Punisher, as a prime example of what an avatar of an ancient god should be doing. Admiring Castle’s numerous executions, the elder god essentially whines at Marc to get deadlier with his methods.

There have been several rumours circulating about Jon Bernthal returning as the role in the MCU, much like Charlie Cox’s reprisal as Hell’s Kitchen's best lawyer in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Moon Knight would be a perfect starting point for the Punisher’s return due to the promised mystery, complexity, and brutality of the Disney+ show

Recently in an interview, Oscar Isaac had revealed interest in bringing the Midnight Sons into the MCU alongside a list of characters to also be a part. Including Daredevil, Ghost Rider and Punisher, this group of vigilantes specialise in large supernatural threats (often orchestrated by the infamous Mephisto).
