Moon Knight Director On MCU Future For Oscar Isaac's Marvel Hero

screenrant.com:

Director Mohamed Diab has revealed his hopes for Oscar Isaac's Moon Knight hero in the MCU. The 6-episode Disney+ series will follow Isaac as both former CIA agent Marc Spector and museum worker Steven Grant, who navigates life with his dissociative identity disorder. A confrontation with Egyptian god Khonshu grants him the powers needed to become the vigilante Moon Knight, a hero whose tale is said to be one of Marvel's darkest stories yet.

With the premiere of the series just weeks away, not much information about the plot has been revealed. However, new teasers and exclusive photos continue to help the story unfold, all of which shows a unique aspect about this Marvel series. Each one of their Disney+ entities thus far have tied into the MCU, whether it be WandaVision setting up Wanda Maximoff's (Elizabeth Olsen) Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness appearance or Loki explaining what happened once Loki disappeared with the Tesseract in Avengers: Endgame. This is where Moon Knight differs, as it appears to have no tie-ins to the MCU. This is something that drew Isaac further into the project, though it doesn't leave out the possibility that the series could be tied into the larger MCU with time.

Now, Diab has shared with SFX (via GamesRadar+) about his hopes for Isaac's Moon Knight to eventually make his MCU debut. The director said "I dream and wish for a film," but acknowledges that this isn't how it usually works, and that Moon Knight won't necessarily "graduate" into a MCU film. The comic book hero is one of Marvel's first to debut in a Disney+ series rather than a film, which makes his progression to the MCU even more
