The Missing MCU Hero We Most Want To Return in Avengers: Doomsday Just Gave An Update On His Future

The upcoming 2026 movie, *Avengers: Doomsday*, is set to feature a huge lineup of Marvel characters. Alongside current Avengers like Captain America (Anthony Mackie) and Ant-Man (Paul Rudd), the film will also include members of the Thunderbolts, the Fantastic Four, and even characters from the older X-Men films originally produced by 20th Century Fox. Despite the already impressive cast, fans believe even more surprises are planned, with ongoing rumors suggesting additional characters will be announced soon. While many names remain unconfirmed, fans are actively speculating and even directly asking actors about potential appearances.

Oscar Isaac, who played Moon Knight in the Marvel series, was asked by a fan on X (formerly Twitter) if he’d be back for the upcoming *Avengers: Secret Wars* movie. Fans have been wondering where Moon Knight has been in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since his Disney+ show finished in 2022, and many think *Secret Wars* would be a good place for his return. Isaac playfully responded to the question with a laugh, saying, “It’s a secret, you know?”

When Will Oscar Isaac’s Moon Knight Return?

Isaac’s answer is typical Marvel – he didn’t confirm or deny anything about being in the new movie. It’s carefully worded to allow for either interpretation, which is a common tactic Marvel Studios uses to keep plot details secret. However, there’s another possibility: Isaac himself might not know if he’ll be in the film. Since production on *Secret Wars* is still a long way off – potentially a year – the cast is likely still being decided.

Oscar Isaac has addressed his potential return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe before. A video from a fan event earlier this year showed him discussing a second season of *Moon Knight* on Disney+. While he said another season wasn’t officially happening, he hinted it could happen “one day,” or that his character might appear in a future *Avengers* movie. This has led fans to speculate about his role in upcoming Marvel films, but could he be heading in a completely different direction within the MCU?

Rumors about Marvel’s future plans are common, and one popular idea is that Oscar Isaac’s Moon Knight will play a major role in a *Midnight Sons* movie within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While Marvel hasn’t confirmed this, fans often speculate that Moon Knight and Mahershala Ali’s Blade could lead this team. The biggest obstacle, however, is Marvel’s already packed schedule of upcoming films, stretching all the way to *Avengers: Secret Wars*, which leaves little opportunity for a *Midnight Sons* movie to be made anytime soon.

It’s a better creative decision to introduce Moon Knight in a story specifically suited to his character within the MCU, rather than trying to shoehorn him into events like *Avengers: Doomsday* or *Avengers: Secret Wars*. Given the current plans for *Doomsday* – which seem to focus on bringing together heroes from different universes – there doesn’t appear to be a natural role for Moon Knight. Marvel is smart to wait for the right opportunity for him, instead of forcing his inclusion just to please fans.
