Warning: SPOILERS for Moon Knight episode 3
The introduction of the Egyptian gods in episode three of Moon Knight could lead to an Avengers: Endgame-topping war if Galactus were to attack. The Disney+ series has thus far introduced seven new gods into the MCU, with the focus being on Khonshu and Ammit and their respective avatars, Mark Spector/Steven Grant and Arthur Harrow.
