After a major cliffhanger at the conclusion of the first season of the Moon Knight television series from Marvel, it seemed inevitable that Marc Spector (Oscar Isaac) would make a comeback. With the introduction of the primary character’s new alter, several new avenues for the story’s development and potential MCU connections became available. Fortunately for the show’s viewers, it appears that the character will make another appearance. Although it hasn’t been officially confirmed, Isaac made an appearance on Mohammed Diab’s TikTok, which strongly suggests a second season is being developed for Disney+.
A TikTok video that circulated earlier today of Isaac and Moon Knight director Mohamed Diab on a boat in Egypt showed the two of them together. “Why else would we be in Cairo”, Isaac retorted in response to Diab’s daughter when she inquired whether or not there will be another season of the show. On the one hand, it would appear to be quite unusual for Moon Knight season 2 to begin filming (or even site scouting) before Marvel has even revealed a renewal. However, Diab added even more weight to this notion by sharing the video on his personal Twitter account.
Season 1 of ‘Moon Knight’ which concluded in May follows the story of Marc Spector and Stephen Grant, two very different alters entangled into a larger mystery involving the gods of Egypt. May Calamawy, who plays Layla El-Faouly, also appears in the series as the Scarlet Scarab. The series as a whole was well appreciated, receiving a 91 percent audience score despite including a well-known superhero on screen. In contrast to many of Marvel’s other works, it added a layer of mystery and grit to Disney+’s roster of superhero series. This was made possible by Isaac’s strong performance, which perfectly encapsulated the many differences between Marc and Stephen.
Although there are many unknowns regarding Isaac’s deal with Marvel, if season 2 is in the works, it might simply be positioning the star for a more significant part in the MCU. It is yet unknown, according to reports, whether the studios will release the series in the middle of the next Phase 6 timeframe. The third alter, Jake Lockley, who is described as Moon Knight’s most aggressive persona in the Marvel Comics, was first presented to us in Season 1.
Season 2 will probably focus on the potential altercation between Spector/Grant and Lockley. Additionally, the upcoming season may have developments around Layla El-Faouly, played by May Calamawy, who changed into the Egyptian superhero Scarlet Scarab in Season 1.
