Moon Knight Officially Returns in 6 Days Despite No Season 2 for Oscar Isaac

Oscar Isaac joined the MCU in the Disney+ series Moon Knight, playing the DID-ridden, Egyptian mythology-based superhero. While the series was a huge hit with fans and Isaac’s performance was lauded, there seems to be no update on a season 2 for the show, despite demands for one. 

However, that does not mean the character’s run is over. Marvel is bringing back the superhero in the upcoming comic book, Marc Spector: Moon Knight, which is out on the stands on October 21, 2026. While MCU fans will have to wait around for a Midnight Sons movie, there is still something Moon Knight–related in the future. Read on to know more.

According to the official synopsis of the upcoming Marc Spector: Moon Knight comic, “Moon Knight made a bold and terrible gamble to try to save his allies, and the cost is about to come due. Can the newly forged MIDNIGHT SONS survive the fallout?” Jed Mackay writes the story while Devmalya Pramanik acts as the penciller (via Marvel).

Jed Mackay’s story so far has seen Marc Spector and his Moon Knight persona take on the Zodiac, as he breaks Marc from his spell and unleashes the superhero. The story sees Moon Knight at his most brutal and reckless, guided by Zodiac’s scheming. More members of the Midnight Sons make appearances, including Daredevil, Ghost Rider, Blade, and Clea Strange.

Moon Knight’s archenemy, The Bushman, also appears and tells his chilling backstory, which has been the highlight of the series so far. In the previous issue, Marc Spector, Moon Knight, has reportedly taken a wild gamble that pits him against the Midnight Sons, making them his enemies. The series has been praised for its artwork depicting Moon Knight as a fearful presence and its action.

Oscar Isaac killed it as Moon Knight in the eponymous Disney+ series, employing different accents to portray the differing personalities. Created by Jeremy Slater and directed by Mohammed Diab, Aaron Moorhead, and Justin Benson, the series earned a critics’ score of 86% and an audience score of 88% on Rotten Tomatoes (as of October 15, 2026).

The success of the series led to wild speculation about a season 2, and for a long time there were a lot of rumors that things were developing. For some time, there was even talk about a Midnight Sons movie that would have Mahershala Ali’s Blade and Isaac’s Marc Spector both returning. However, the only update about a Midnight Sons connection is Ryan Gosling’s Ghost Rider. Even Ali’s Blade was shelved.

As fans still wait for Isaac’s return, Marvel Television recently announced at the NYCC that the character will return in 2028 with a Marvel Zombies special. The Fist of Khunshu is just one of the three specials announced at the convention, with other specials centering around the Guardians of the Galaxy and the Winter Soldier, the latter of which will come out in 2027 (via The Wrap).

Marvel Zombies was one of the most anticipated projects from the MCU after the What If…? episode gained a considerable fanbase. The animated division of Marvel Studios has been putting out some interesting stuff, and many live-action characters have gotten an extended life in animation. It is great that Moon Knight is not forgotten in the franchise.
