Moon Knight star Oscar Isaac has teased the likelihood that his hooded hero might return as a part of a Midnight Sons team-up film.
In Marvel comics, Moon Knight is a frequent member of the supernatural superhero staff, alongside different acquainted faces resembling Blade, Ghost Rider, Werewolf by Night and Elsa Bloodstone — all of which have beforehand appeared on TV or in Marvel motion pictures in a single kind or one other.
Fans have lengthy speculated that Moon Knight will subsequent seem in a Midnight Sons movie, particularly since there’s been no agency phrase over a second season of the character’s devoted MCU TV sequence. The long-awaited arrival of Blade, set to be performed by Mahershala Ali, has additionally kindled the expectation of a Midnight Sons film taking place some day — though the longer that wait goes on, the less seems certain.
Now, talking by way of the Happy, Sad, Confused podcast, Isaac has confirmed that there was “interesting talk” a couple of Midnight Sons film taking place — even when it does not sound like a undertaking that is presently in lively improvement. Here’s what the actor stated:
“Yeah there was an interesting talk about Midnight Sons,” Isaac revealed. “Tonally it’s really important because we’re playing with real stuff with that one. It’s expressing something very real, challenging and difficult. I feel like if you’re gonna go, you gotta take it seriously as well. Even though it’s a crazy comic book, but that’s what it’s trying to do, it’s doing both of those things.”
Could discuss of a Midnight Sons film have begun again when Marvel was growing one in all its earlier makes an attempt to launch Blade’s manufacturing? We know that the studio has had various scripts in the works over recent years, and even bought so far as buying costumes for a historical take on the character earlier than plans “unraveled”. Now, manufacturing seems to presently be on pause as soon as once more, as Marvel prioritizes the launch of Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars over the following couple of years, in addition to an X-Men reboot.
Will Midnight Sons occur finally? If Marvel ever will get round to creating Blade, the movie seems like a definite risk — and especially so if Ryan Gosling ever finally gets the nod to take on Ghost Rider.
“It’ll be me on the back of the bike, holding onto him,” Isaac joked about Disney’s curiosity in Gosling as Ghost Rider. “Fire, cape… that’s the poster.”
