Moon Knight's Next MCU Appearance Rumored To Replace Oscar Isaac's Marc Spector

gamerant.com:

Moon Knight fans have been clamoring for moresince the character made his live-action debut in his own Disney Plus series, and now a new report suggests that the character will return soon, but not in the way fans of the series might have expected.

Moon Knight would be a massive critical success and prove itself commercially by tying for the MCU's second-biggest Disney Plus debut, joining Falcon and the Winter Soldier in falling short of Loki's premiere numbers. Since the series ended, fans have been invested in seeing more of the dark, gritty hero, even more so when leading man Oscar Isaac confirmed Moon Knight would return in another project within the MCU.

Now, a recent report from CanWeGetSomeToast via Instagram aims to settle the details of that claim. According to the rumor, Moon Knight will make his next appearance in the upcoming MCU project Marvel Zombies, a spin-off of the popular What If…? series on Disney Plus. Not being a part of the mainline MCU, Marvel Zombies boasts a TV-MA rating and, as such, has the potential to see the often violent and macabre Moon Knight at his best. Additionally, the news alleges that the version of the character in the show will not be the Marc Spector version portrayed by Isaac in his hit mini-series but a new fist of Khonshu that will be introduced in the upcoming series.

WithMoon Knight season 2 chances shot down by director Mohamed Diab, the character’s inclusion in Marvel Zombies is a more welcome prospect than the odds of the largely disconnected and complex live-action version making his way into the mainline narrative of the MCU's current Multiverse Saga or even the quaint world of Tom Holland's Spider-Man films, which is rumored to intersect with Daredevil and other related heroes going forward. While the Zombies project has much going on, the addition of Moon Knight stands out prominently. The series has previously been stated to take a different approach to the concept than the What If…? episode «What If…Zombies?»that
