Jeremy Slater's Full Quote (on Moon Knight's MCU Future) :
>“The contract Oscar Isaac signed was very much like, we will do more stories when we find stories that he is creatively excited to tell. They can just sort of snap their fingers and summon him back for another adventure. He’s really creatively involved in the future of that character. So I would imagine part of the challenge, and part of the joy over there, is finding : What stories does Oscar want to explore, and how does he want that character to be used? What’s something that would entice him to get back and play in that sandbox one more time?”
On his own involvement and lack of inside information Jeremy Slater says : >“You know, if they did a second season, I doubt I would be creatively involved. I don't have any inside information in terms of where the character is. I haven't talked to Marvel in three years at this point. I don't know. Is there gonna be a Moon Knight movie? Is there gonna be a Midnight Sons movie? Is there gonna be a season 2? I'm as much in the dark as everyone else.”
> Slater further notes that he is “very hopeful and optimistic that we will see him again at some point, because I think he [Isaac] had fun, you know. He was proud of it and was happy that a lot of fans responded positively. So, I would be surprised if we didn't see him again, but that's just me speculating as a fan.”
If the Midnight Sons show up in the MCU, what tone do you think would actually work best?
We’ve already seen Marvel experiment with the supernatural in a few different projects:
- Doctor Strange naturally introduced us heavily to the mystical side of the MCU
- Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness had a darker vibe, more horror-inspired elements (thanks Raimi)
- Moon Knight was more psychological but also had supernatural elements to it
- Werewolf by Night brought full classic horror vibes
- Agatha was very witch heavy but still had a bit of a darker tone

So if Marvel brings together characters like Blade, Moon Knight, Ghost Rider, etc… what direction should they lean into?
- Full horror
- Dark, serious action
- Mystical adventure
- Something else entirely?
Curious what tone people think would actually work best, and what would feel the most different/refreshing from what we’ve already seen.
For those who played Marvel’s Midnight Suns:
Which character ended up being way more interesting than you expected?
Was it their personality, story, or just how they were portrayed compared to what you thought going in?
For example, I’ve seen a lot of people mention characters like Magik or Nico feeling way more developed than expected, while others expected “bigger” names like to stand out more.
Curious who surprised you the most and why.
