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

by

The upcoming 2026 movie, *Avengers: Doomsday*, is set to feature a huge lineup of Marvel characters. It will include current Avengers like Captain America (Anthony Mackie) and Ant-Man (Paul Rudd), as well as members of the Thunderbolts, the Fantastic Four, and even some classic X-Men characters from the old Fox films. Fans are expecting even more surprises and are actively speculating about other potential appearances, even directly asking the actors themselves. While many names haven’t been officially announced, that hasn’t stopped the excitement and guessing games among Marvel enthusiasts.

Oscar Isaac, who played Moon Knight in the Marvel series, was asked by a fan on X (formerly Twitter) if he’ll be back for the upcoming *Avengers: Secret Wars* movie. Many fans have wondered why Moon Knight hasn’t appeared in other Marvel films and series since his Disney+ show ended in 2022, so a role in *Secret Wars* would be a fitting return. Isaac playfully avoided answering directly, responding with a laugh, “It’s a secret, you know?”

When Will Oscar Isaac’s Moon Knight Return?

Okay, so Isaac’s answer was *classic* Marvel – he didn’t say yes, and he didn’t say no about being in the new movie. Honestly, you could interpret it either way! That’s just how Marvel does things, keeping everything under wraps. But it also made me think… he might not even *know* if he’s going to be in it! They’re still so early in production on *Secret Wars* – we’re talking months, maybe even a year out – so I guess the cast is still being figured out. It’s all very fluid right now.

This isn’t the first time Oscar Isaac has discussed his potential future with Marvel. A video from a fan event earlier this summer surfaced online, showing him being asked about a second season of *Moon Knight* on Disney+. While he said another season wasn’t confirmed, he hinted that the character could return “one day” or 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 Marvel Cinematic Universe?

Rumors about Marvel’s future plans are common, and one persistent idea is that Oscar Isaac’s Moon Knight will play a major role in a potential *Midnight Sons* movie. While Marvel hasn’t confirmed anything, fans often speculate that Moon Knight and Mahershala Ali’s Blade could lead this team. The biggest hurdle, however, is Marvel’s already crowded schedule of upcoming films, making it unlikely a *Midnight Sons* movie could be released before *Avengers: Secret Wars*.

It’s a better creative choice to introduce Moon Knight in a story specifically suited to his character within the MCU, rather than trying to shoehorn him into massive events like *Avengers: Doomsday* or *Avengers: Secret Wars*. Considering the current cast list for *Doomsday*, the story seems focused on heroes from different universes meeting, and there doesn’t appear to be a natural role for Moon Knight. Marvel is smart to wait for the right opportunity and avoid forcing him into a story where he wouldn’t organically fit, just to please fans.
