Following the premiere of Moon Knight on Disney+, a fresh rumour hinted that one character might soon be making a comeback in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Even though Moon Knight had a successful debut in March 2022, a second season has not yet been confirmed, therefore the show’s future is still up in the air.
Oscar Isaac, a well-known actor, reportedly only agreed to play Marc Spector/Steven Grant for one season, although saying that he “[loves] playing him” and intends “to visit him again.”
Even though there are numerous other significant heroes and antagonists who could make other appearances in Marvel’s adventures, Arthur Harrow star Ethan Hawke expressed uncertainty about whether he will return for additional MCU episodes beyond Season 1.
Return of One Moon Knight Character Hinted at
May Calamawy, the star of Moon night, will reportedly join the cast of the next Gladiator prequel, according to Deadline.
The source mentioned that Layla El-Faouly from Calamawy had her breakthrough part in Moon Knight and that Marvel anticipates having huge plans for her in the future.
Additionally, this occurs after Layla’s interpretation of the Scarlet Scarab was initially depicted on the page by Marvel Comics.
When Will Scarlet Scarab of Moon Knight Return?
The Moon Knight’s final episode featured a pivotal moment when Layla was introduced as the Scarlet Scarab, offering the MCU a fresh perspective on the comic book hero with some significant adjustments made for the small screen.
It comes as no surprise to learn that Marvel has huge plans for the character of May Calamawy in the near future given how heavily she has been advertised in both Moon Knight marketing materials and in her new run in the comics as an original character from the MCU.
She would undoubtedly be in play for a return there as her connections with Marc Spector and the Goddess Taweret evolve, but there is still no indication on when Moon Knight Season 2 will begin production.
It’s also challenging to consider other franchises where she might have a crossover moment; the simplest option would be in one of the upcoming Avengers films, where the plot is already being planned.
However, given the significance of this role for Calamawy, she will be ready to carry the Scarlet Scarab wherever the trip takes her as her legacy develops.
Disney+ has the first season of Moon Knight accessible for streaming.
