Marvel Reveals Fate of "Moon Knight" Season 2
Yara Sameh
Those expecting a second season of the Disney+ miniseries "Moon Knight", starring Oscar Isaac as the titular Marc Spector/Moon Knight and Ethan Hawke as Arthur Harrow, shouldn't hold their breath.
However, Marvel does have plans for the character to return at some point in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
'So I think Marvel Television has happened in waves, and I think Moon Knight happened in a wave of shows that were going to establish characters that would tie-in to the future,' Marvel Television head Brad Winderbaum told ComicBook. 'And moving forward, our priorities have shifted. We're making shows as shows that can exist as annual releases, more like television,' he said.
Winderbaum continued, 'I would love to see a Moon Knight Season 2, but there are plans for Moon Knight down the road.'
The character returned at the end of 2024 when Isaac reprised his role as Moon Knight for an episode of the Disney+ animated series "Marvel's What If…?".
However, it is still unclear when Moon Knight will return again in live-action form, but with several MCU projects, like "Avengers: Secret Wars", in the works, anything could happen.
In October 2024, it was still a thought that Moon Knight could get a second season as The Cosmic Circus reported that Marvel Studios had 'an idea' for Season 2 that they found 'really exciting.' At that time, information on the future of the series was vague.
"Moon Knight" debuted in March 2022 and ran for six episodes on Disney+. It followed the story of Isaac's Marc Spector, a mercenary with disassociative identity disorder.
The six-episode miniseries focused on Marc as he investigated a deadly mystery involving Egyptian gods with his multiple alters, like Steven Grant.
The series also starred May Calamawy as Layla El-Faouly/Scarlet Scarab, F. Murray Abraham as Khonshu, and Ethan Hawke as the antagonist Arthur Harrow.
While it is unclear whether Moon Knight will be featured in an MCU movie anytime soon, word recently broke that the Phase 6 Avengers: Doomsday movie will begin filming in England in March, per The Wrap. Doomsday will see the return of Robert Downey Jr. to the MCU as the villainous Doctor Victor von Doom. Doomsday will hit theaters on May 1, 2026.
The film is being directed by Joe Russo and Anthony Russo, who are also directing "Avengers: Secret Wars". The pair previously directed "Avengers: Infinity War" (2018) and "Avengers: Endgame" (2019). Stephen McFeely is penning the screenplay for both "Doomsday" and "Secret Wars".
Disney+ is the streaming home for the MCU, including the previous Avengers films and Moon Knight.

"Thunderbolts" Sets Digital, 4K & Blu-ray Release Dates
Yara Sameh The New Avengers are coming home. Marvel's latest adventure, "Thunderbolts*", will hit video on demand on July 1 and get a 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD release on July 29, with preorders coming soon. "Thunderbolts*" stars Florence Pugh as Yelena, David Harbour as Red Gaurdian, Wyatt Russell as John Walker, Hannah John-Kamen as Ghost, Olga Kurylenko as Taskmaster and Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes, a ragtag team of antiheroes who are pitted against each other by Julia Louis-Dreyfus' Valentina Allegra de Fontaine. While "Thunderbolts*" underperformed at the box office, it was well-received by fans and critics, and seen as a return to form after Marvel's at-best uneven Phase Five. The July 1 streaming date means fans who missed it in theaters will be able to rent or buy it at home, although there's no word yet on a Disney+ release date. The 4K Ultra HD digital and physical release will feature Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, as well as bonus features like deleted scenes, a gag reel, behind-the-scenes featurettes, and commentary by director Jake Schreier. Marvel is also releasing collectable versions of the Blu-ray, including a SteelBook version featuring custom artwork, plus a Walmart-exclusive Blu-ray featuring pop-up artwork. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean News 3 Killed in Shooting Attack in Thailand

Jon Bernthal Returning as The Punisher for "Spider-Man: Brand New Day"
Yara Sameh The Punisher is back. Jon Bernthal will be suiting up as the vigilante once again for 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day,' Sony and Marvel's latest web-slinging adventure. Bernthal first suited up as Punisher, aka Frank Castle, in Netflix's 2016 series 'Daredevil,' becoming a fan-favorite before starring in his spin-off series 'The Punisher' in 2017, which ran for two seasons. He most recently returned to the role earlier this year in the Disney+ series 'Daredevil: Born Again.' Bernthal is also set to appear in the second season and will return again for a 2026 Disney+ special centered on Punisher from director Reinaldo Marcus Green. 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' marks the fourth film centered on Tom Holland's Peter Parker, following the Jon Watts-directed 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' (2017), 'Spider-Man: Far From Home' (2019), and 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' (2021). Plot details on the fourth installment remain under wraps. 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' will swing into theaters on July 31, 2026. 'I know we left you with a massive cliff hanger at the end of 'No Way Home,' so 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' is a fresh start. It is exactly that. That's all I can say,' Holland told the crowd at CinemaCon earlier this year via video message. 'Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings' filmmaker Destin Daniel Cretton will direct 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day.' Zendaya and Jacob Batalon, who play Peter Parker's besties MJ and Ned, are expected to return. 'Stranger Things' star Sadie Sink will also appear in the upcoming film. The three previous films have all been box office successes, with 'Homecoming' grossing $880 million, 'Far From Home' earning $1.13 billion, and 'No Way Home' generating $1.9 billion globally. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean News 3 Killed in Shooting Attack in Thailand
