A new rumor says the upcoming Moon Knight Disney Plus series will tie into the Blade movie.
Some of the most exciting projects Marvel Studios is working on span across movies and TV. That’s because for the first time ever, Marvel Studios is producing TV shows for Disney Plus. Kevin Feige has also said that the Marvel characters who appear on Disney Plus will show up on the big screen as well. This is notable because Marvel shows previously never had TV characters like Daredevil crossover into the films. One connection we already know is that WandaVision and Loki will tie into Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
A new rumor from Daniel Richtman reveals another connection between Marvel Studios’ films and their TV shows. The rumor says that the Moon Knight Disney Plus series will connect to the Blade film. Mahershala Ali is set to play Blade while Disney Plus’ Moon Knight is assembling their writer’s room. Moon Knight and Blade don’t have release dates at the moment, so these projects will likely come in Phase 5. It makes sense that Moon Knight and Blade will tie in given that they are both darker heroes of the Marvel Universe.
What do you think about Moon Knight and Blade connecting? What other movies and Disney Plus shows will have tie ins? Do you think Blade will appear in Phase 4 before his solo film? Comment below!
In the comics, Marc Spector, a.k.a. Moon Knight, was a CIA agent turned mercenary where he made millions. His wealth from being a mercenary and investments land him anywhere between $50 million to $3 billion in net worth, granting him a suave Bruce Wayne-style life. Yet during his last mercenary job in Cairo, Spector was left for dead by a former colleague.
Spector dragged himself through the sands of the desert to the tomb of Konshu, the Egyptian moon god. There he was pronounced dead but resurrected at the hands of Konshu. The resurrection took a toll, however, as he developed multiple personality disorder. When he returned to New York, he created two new personalities, Steven Grant, and Jake Lockley. Grant was the millionaire womanizer, while Lockley was a cab driver.
It was after developing his other personalities when he took on the mantle of Moon Knight. Konshu granted Spector with increased physical capabilities and periodic prophetic visions at night; yet even Spector himself was unsure whether Konshu was yet another personality of his own creation. Even still, Moon Knight operates with an arsenal of technology, vehicles and costumes to suit his needs.
