Oscar Isaac‘s future as Moon Knight in the MCU remains unresolved, as creator Jeremy Slater reveals there have been no recent discussions about the character‘s continuation. Slater, who played a key role in bringing Moon Knight to the screen, says Marvel’s next move is unclear and he is not involved in any current planning for another season or Marvel project related to the character.
Slater’s Perspective on the Character’s Uncertain Path
Jeremy Slater, the creative force behind Moon Knight, recently addressed questions about whether Marc Spector—one of Oscar Isaac’s most complex roles—will return in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Slater confirmed he has not engaged with Marvel executives in recent times, stating he remains out of the loop regarding any future plans for the heroic alter ego or other related characters.
Slater shared that his focus now has shifted to launching his directing career.
“Oh, God, I have no idea. If we do, I probably would not be involved,”
—Jeremy Slater, Moon Knight Creator. He elaborated that he is aiming to start his own project soon, hoping to collaborate with an Oscar-winning actor. The intensity of working in television, which often removes creators from other opportunities for years, has influenced his current career choices.
“I am trying to launch my directing career. I am hoping to shoot in August. We are out to an Oscar-winning actor right now and waiting on his response, so it’s very exciting. TV takes you off the board for two or three years.”
—Jeremy Slater, Moon Knight Creator.
On the subject of Moon Knight’s potential continuation, Slater made it clear that major decisions rest elsewhere:
“If there is another Moon Knight, the ball is in Kevin Feige and Oscar Isaac’s court. I don’t know the details of their contract,”
—Jeremy Slater, Moon Knight Creator. He went on to speculate that Marvel’s plans for the character are open-ended, emphasizing that he is purely guessing as a spectator.
“Once Kevin figures out the best way to use that character, what is the right story and who are the right storytellers to bring that to life, I would be shocked if we didn’t see him again at some point. But, that’s me speculating as a fan. I have no inside knowledge. I haven’t talked to anyone at Marvel in a couple of years.”
—Jeremy Slater, Moon Knight Creator.
Moon Knight’s Debut and Subsequent Absence
Moon Knight, featuring Oscar Isaac as Marc Spector alongside his alternate identities—Steven Grant and Jake Lockley—debuted on Disney Plus in 2022 as a pivotal part of Marvel’s Phase 4. The series followed Spector’s struggle with dissociative identity disorder as he faced formidable opponents, including the Egyptian gods and Arthur Harrow, a sinister cult leader portrayed by Ethan Hawke. Across six episodes, the show established Moon Knight’s place in the MCU’s landscape.
Despite a strong debut, Moon Knight has not appeared in any live-action format since the original series aired. Loki became the first Marvel Disney Plus series to secure a second season, raising questions about why some characters, like Moon Knight, have yet to return. The character did surface in an episode of the animated series What If?, but was notably absent from the cast list of the anticipated Avengers: Doomsday project. Oscar Isaac has not provided recent updates or commentary about returning to the role, leaving fans and insiders alike speculating about what the future holds for the superhero with a mysterious British accent and deeply layered personas.
Awaiting Marvel’s Next Move
The fate of Moon Knight now lies squarely in the hands of Marvel leadership, particularly Kevin Feige, and Oscar Isaac himself. Slater’s remarks indicate that, while there is enthusiasm and storytelling potential for Moon Knight, decisions around another season or a cinematic return are undecided. This uncertainty is mirrored among fans, as many wonder when, or if, the superhero will once again emerge within the expanding tapestry of the MCU.
As Disney Plus continues to host Moon Knight for streaming, the question of Oscar Isaac’s future as Moon Knight in the MCU endures, leaving audiences to await Marvel’s ultimate direction. For now, both the character’s creator and fans share the same anticipation: watching to see when Moon Knight will step out of the shadows once more.
