Marvel Cinematic Universe (NO SPOILERS ALLOWED!)

Out promoting the release of Doctor Strange on home video, Derrickson told ScreenRant, "I mean, there’s a lot of discussion about Moon Knight maybe coming into the MCU. I think that’s a good idea. I dunno…Actually, scratch that answer. Here’s my answer. My answer is this: I still have hope that Fantastic Four can be properly brought into the MCU because a lot of Doctor Strange – that’s the comment I read the most during that. I love those characters and I think that they still deserve another shot at finding a true home in the MCU. I still have hope for that. That’s my honest answer."

Would they really make a Moon Knight movie ?

He seems so... street level Netflix.

*prolonged sigh*

Speaking as the kind of obsessive Moon Knight fan who can even find something to like in the Bendis/Maleev series (a rare thing indeed, believe me), the reality of Marc joining the Netflix crowd is something I've come to dread. I mean, I get it - he's a no-powers guy who tends to fight criminals rather than save the world in a broad sense, and the majority of his stories skew towards the gritty aesthetic the Defendersverse seems to favour.

BUT, it's also become very clear that the Netflix shows would rather focus on making their shows handsome-within-means rather than pushing the boundaries at the risk of looking cheap, which means very little VFX budget, and that severely crimps what you can do with Moon Knight. Bearing in mind that 'classic' Moon Knight stories, meaning the Moench/Sienkiewicz run for the most part, involved several trips to Egypt, a goblin-looking 'dream demon' who could manifest psychic energy as tangible black lightning, a team-up where Marc has to rescue the Werewolf By Night from a pack of Fortune 500 types that are secretly members of a Satanic church, and my personal favourite, the one where a bunch of fright-masked terrorists hold Chicago hostage by flooding the water supply with hallucinogens, and when Moon Knight gets dosed and sees a 'No Smoking' sign, his brain rearranges the letters to read 'MOON KINGS' and he suddenly thinks he's on the moon, fighting aliens that come charging out of the Sea of Tranquility, and he bemoans the fact that he can't possibly win because they're Kings and he's only a Knight. Hell, even the very trendy Warren Ellis series had a massively deformed SHIELD cyborg living in the underground and a gang of violent punk rocker ghosts.

Oh, and through it all he's had a bunch of helicopters shaped like the moon. That's important.

I would not expect a Netflix MK show to tackle any of that. It could still be good, maybe even great, but it would just be a guy in a white 3-piece suit throwing pointy objects while having a nervous breakdown, and Moon Knight can be so much more.

Maybe Moon Knight does have an all-ages appeal .

There could be hope for the street level crowd now that they have street level Spidey......


But I doubt it

And yeah... MK would be a character study in mental illness like Alias was essentially a character study in abuse.

I do wonder if we'll see them build-up a different kind of street-level Superhero community from the Netflix shows in the movies now that they have Spider-Man, maybe focusing on the more outright Superheroic and powerful street-level heroes?

Or at least the characters you would expect from a Spider-Man franchise (Prowler, Black Cat, maybe another Spider).

I mean, it's kind of redundant when the Netflix heroes whole thing is being the street-level heroes of the MCU, but I think we know by now that they're never going to be relevant to the movies.

"Daylight" street level heroes lol


I do wonder if they will every pull back the budgets. You can make some street level heroes muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch cheaper than you can Thor or Black Panther or even Spider-Man.

But they seem content to be in the 150-200 range consistently so... ok lol. I'll never 100% understand hollywood business tactics.

Wasn't there a rumor that Spidey would have a smaller budget? Or am I just conflating a more "grounded" story compared to other MCU movies with a slightly smaller budget?

If actress Pom Klementieff was too cryptic last week with her tease of a classic “Avengers” cover, the “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” star now makes everything crystal clear: Mantis appears in “Avengers: Infinity War.”

with that last figure: what's the gimmick? Do those "web blasts" shoot out? Are those suction cups that stick to walls?
