Marvel Phase 7 may already be quietly taking shape. A new report suggests a long-absent MCU hero could be gearing up to return in a major ensemble project tied to the long-rumored Midnight Sons movie.

Moon Knight to play a major role in rumored Midnight Sons movie

While never officially confirmed by Marvel Studios, the Midnight Sons movie has accumulated substantial rumors since whispers of its development began in 2022. The latest update comes from MyTimeToShineHello, who tweeted, “Moon Knight will have a main role in Midnight Sons.”

The claim has fueled renewed interest in the character’s MCU future, especially since Moon Knight Season 2 remains unconfirmed and there has been no indication of the character appearing in Avengers 5 or Avengers 6. As a result, Midnight Sons increasingly appears to be the most logical continuation of Moon Knight’s story.

Momentum around Midnight Sons intensified following a reported update on Mahershala Ali’s Blade reboot. Industry insider Jeff Sneider revealed on The Hot Mic podcast that the solo Blade film announced at San Diego Comic-Con in 2019 may no longer be moving forward.

During the discussion, Sneider said, “Blade is dead,” later clarifying that the information was “a rumor.” He then added, “I’m hearing Blade is dead and that it is a Midnight Sons movie. He will not be introduced in a solo movie. He’ll be introduced in Midnight Sons.” The MCU already teased Blade with a voice cameo in the post-credits scene of Eternals. An alternate version of the character later appeared in Marvel Zombies.

Moon Knight debuted in his solo Disney+ series in 2022, with Oscar Isaac in the lead role. The character has yet to appear elsewhere in the MCU. With no confirmed follow-up project, the rumored Midnight Sons movie appears to be the most viable platform for his return in Marvel’s Phase 7.

As of writing, Marvel Studios has not officially confirmed Midnight Sons.
