The sun may be setting on the Marvel empire but the tired old franchise might yet have a few tricks up its sleeves. Refusing to go down without a bang, the MCU has started to collect the debt from its past (and a few from the future). As a result, it’s finally time for Midnight Sons, the highly anticipated project to come to fruition after years of unfulfilled expectations and a grueling cinematic experience.
A Midnight Sons Film Finally Makes Its Way Into the MCU
For most of Marvel’s post-Endgame projects, the trick was not to level up to the god-tier expectation left behind by the phenomenon of the decade but to take a breath and touch some grass. The films, Disney+ shows, and Special Presentations that plagued Phases Four and Five were numerous enough to drive the once-loyal fanbase to the brink of content-driven madness – a condition that was aptly named Superhero fatigue to deviate blame from the larger Hollywood narrative.
Since it’s still in the early stages of development, Midnight Sons is slated to premiere as a feature film – which is understandable considering its ensemble A-list cast. However, keeping with Marvel’s recent trend, the project could be released as a limited series or another format due to the vast scale of its plot. The film is set to reunite Phase Four heroes such as Oscar Isaac‘s Moon Knight, Doctor Strange, Charlize Theron‘s Clea, and Scarlet Scarab, among others.
Marvel Announces a Big Score for Its Midnight Sons Project
Midnight Sons has been a long time coming for the demography of Marvel audiences who are familiar with the comics. The first three phases of the MCU largely focused on the mainstream lore of the comic universe, with Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Black Widow, the Hulk, and Hawkeye reigning supreme as the Earth’s Mightiest Avengers. Fighting against aliens, gods, and Titans had been the primary concern for the franchise’s first endgame.
In a recent exclusive announcement by Nexus Point News, an insider source has revealed that the project has finally secured a scriptwriter to helm the story. Michael Green, the esteemed writer of films such as Hugh Jackman’s tear-jerking swan song Logan, Mahershala Ali‘s Blade, and co-writer of Denis Villeneuve-directed masterpiece, Blade Runner 2049, has boarded the MCU vehicle.
With a résumé such as his, Green is one of the highlights of the Midnight Sons project as all hopes ride on him after Marvel’s seemingly never-ending creative drought. If history serves right, he may save the face of the MCU with this one feature film that will bring the likes of Ghost Rider, Man-Thing, Constantine, and the Nightstalkers into the lineup.
