The script for Marvel Studios' Moon Knight originally featured one line that would refer to a persona of Kang the Conqueror, the popular Marvel villain who will appear in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. The Marvel Cinematic Universe's sixth Disney+ series, Moon Knight, released its six episodes week by week from late March to early May, receiving a very positive reaction from fans.
