Oscar Isaac's Moon Knight Signifies A Major MCU Contracts Change
Oscar Isaac's Moon Knight stint in the MCU marks a shift in how Marvel Studios handles its contracts. Debuting in his own Disney+ series, Moon Knight, Isaac plays one of the newest heroes in the universe. While Moon Knight's arc is just beginning, it's unclear where and when he will pop up next in the franchise.
Before it even premiered, Moon Knight was already confirmed to be a limited series. This meant that the show was crafted to only last one season, with a definitive ending.

Marvel Studios continues to remain mum about what comes next for the character, but Isaac previously revealed his Marvel contract was only for one season of the Disney+ series. This means that if the franchise needs Moon Knight to appear in any future MCU projects, they would have to re-negotiate pay and duration.
