MOON KNIGHT IN WEREWOLF BY NIGHT FULL
MOON KNIGHT IN WEREWOLF BY NIGHT SERIES

They likely would not be a major part of the full season, but rather could be integrated in a similar way to Moon Knight’s comics introduction.

Even more, Moon Knight’s character and Werwolf b y Night have a reputation of (by MCU standards) particularly brutal or gruesome violence.įor these reasons, it would not be entirely surprising if Werewolf by Night, Man-Thing, or other related characters made some type of appearance in a second season of Moon Knight. The potential seedy and gritty vigilante life of Marc Spector, Khonshu’s ghostly presence, and surreal psychological components could easily accommodate some additional bizarre components.

Both rely on supernatural themes, but the series and Werewolf b y Night are noticeably some of the MCU’s darkest projects both literally and figuratively. While nighttime is clearly special for Moon Knight and monsters alike, the concept also highlights the stylistic compatibility of characters like Werewolf by Night and Moon Knight. After all, a key component of the vigilante in print is that, as the Fist of Khonshu, he is a protector of those who travel at night-and plenty of things go bump in the night. While, so far, the live-action of the character has been limited to the very specific Egyptian god-focused aspect of the supernatural, Moon Knight has ample reason to encounter more.

But in the MCU, Khonshu’s presence and related supernatural truths are presented as fact. In the comics, the actual existence of Khonshu is sometimes debated as the stories play around with Marc Spector’s unique mental state. In the series alone, the character had to face some rather monsterous Ancient Egyptain-themed creatures, and the finale was aptly titled, “Gods and Monsters.” The supernatural angle of the character was definitively established in Moon Knight. While Moon Knight is not generally found constantly battling or working with monsters, the vigilante is certainly not foreign to them. Still, an appearance in the series might be fundamental to the steady rise of the monsterverse and its related projects.

Phase 6 is almost entirely unannounced, and so is a second season of Moon Knight. That aspect of the universe is gaining more steam, but in terms of seeing Werewolf by Night or related characters sooner rather than later, there do not seem to be a lot of obvious options at this moment. But without a doubt, Moon Knight is the first character aside from Doctor Strange to truly open up the paranormal and supernatural worlds of the MCU. As such, there are not many clear storylines from the comics that a Moon Knight Season 2 could adapt from the comics. While Marc Spector has a colorful resume, he is not particularly well known for his connection to monsters. Still, Man-Thing’s connection to the Nexus of All Realities makes his general presence in the MCU’s Multiverse Saga make sense, and Jack and Ted were set up as a pair in Werewolf by Night. Moon Knight’s connections to Man-Thing and Elsa Bloodstone are less obvious, though the three of them were all part of a relatively recent Midnight Sons lineup in the Damnation crossover event. From here, the character went on to have his own solo and team-up careers unrelated to Werewolf by Night. By the end of his original two-issue appearance, Moon Knight changes course and helps the titular werewolf instead. Originally, Moon Knight was written as a mercenary hired to capture Russell, which explains his moon-themed persona and silver weapons. The most obvious connection Moon Knight has to these characters is that his first appearance was as an adversary in Werewolf by Night #32 in 1975. After star Oscar Isaac’s comments that there is more Moon Knight in the MCU’s future, it may not be too farfetched to think that characters from the monster special could appear in a potential second season of that series. But perhaps the answer-or one of the answers-is a bit less obvious. And there’s always Blade, though the film is in a rough spot after recently losing its director. Of course, there are Midnight Sons and Legion of Monsters rumors and theories. The special itself appeared to open the door to the MCU’s monsterverse, but it has also been confirmed that Werewolf By Night has no intention of being a pilot for future series. After the raging success of Marvel Studios’ first Special Presentation, Werewolf b y Night, fans are anxiously awaiting Jack Russell’s, Ted Sallis’ (Man-Thing), and Elsa Bloodstone’s returns to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
