Marvel Is Already Hinting At Moon Knight's Avengers Future
Warning: This article contains spoilers for Moon Knight episode 1.
Moon Knight's debut hinted at a possible future with the Avengers for Marc Spector. The MCU Phase 4 is exploring darker characters and storylines that will likely continue on into Phase 5. For example, WandaVision centered heavily around Scarlet Witch's (Elizabeth Olsen) chaotic story and introduced Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn) to the MCU. There's also a Blade movie coming after his voice cameo in the post-credits of Eternals. The mystical Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) made his official on-screen MCU debut in 2017 and has grown in importance ever since. Moon Knight, then, becomes an addition to a line of MCU works focusing on more supernatural characters and those who deal with dark magic. So it's likely that the MCU will give Moon Knight more screen time over the years, especially with A-list actor Oscar Isaac in the role.
Taking clues from the show, Moon Knight's MCU timeline placement is after the events of Avengers: Endgame, setting it between late 2023 and early 2025.

Still, there are ways for Moon Knight to be more incorporated into the MCU's ensemble of characters in the future.
