The Marvel Cinematic Universe branched off into long-form storytelling starring from 2021 with projects like WandaVision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki season 1, and Hawkeye. The franchise started to use the shows as a way to introduce new characters like Moon Knight, Ms. Marvel, and She-Hulk.
Out of these shows, only Loki has received a second season amidst the dipping quality of the show, for instance, this year’s Secret Invasion starring Samuel L. Jackson. During a recent poll on which show deserves a second season, fans had a resounding support for Oscar Isaac’s Moon Knight.
Fans Want to See A Second Season of Oscar Isaac’s Moon Knight
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been experimenting with its Disney+ shows in telling stories with more depth and introducing new characters through a long-form storytelling format. While many shows such as WandaVision, Loki, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier were successful, fans were not impressed with recent outputs like She-Hulk or Samuel L. Jackson‘s Secret Invasion.
The Hollywood Handle posed a question on X regarding which MCU show deserves a second season. The majority of fans voted for Oscar Isaac‘s Moon Knight as the most deserving title to get a second season after Loki. The full potential of the character was explored properly in season 1 and fans are demanding that season 2 will do justice to the lore of Moon Knight. Here are some of the reactions,

The character of Moon Knight is arguably the most interesting one out of the many new heroes that the MCU has introduced post Avengers: Endgame. It remains to be seen whether Marvel will ever green-lit a season 2 of the show or if the character returns in an upcoming MCU feature film.
Marvel’s Echo Series Director Had a Lot of Creative Freedom on the Show
The upcoming Marvel Echo series is set to kick off 2024 with a never-seen-before gritty and dark narrative for the MCU, featuring Alaqua Cox’s Echo. The director and executive producer of the series Sydney Freeland talked about her experience in making the show and the overwhelming support she received from the studio.
Freeland revealed to Comicbook.com that the studio protected her from any obstacles and problems that arose during the production of the show. She also claimed that she had a lot of creative freedom in making the show which is rare for a big-budget studio project. She said,
“Yeah, I got to say my experience was overwhelmingly positive. I’ve got my producing partners in the back and our executive team, and it was a difficult, absolutely, it’s the most difficult thing I’ve ever done. And you hear the stuff about how crazy and hectic it can be, and there’s definitely truth to that.
But the one thing I can say is that they protect the sh*t out of their creatives. And I felt absolutely protected and empowered, which is rare for a project of this scope and size. I’ve done a lot of TV work and I’ve done shows where they’re like, ‘No, every word has to be that. Every word has to be exactly.’ … So no, an incredible amount of creative empowerment.”
Ever since the trailer dropped, fans have been intrigued by the serious and gritty tone of the series. There is an overall positive hype around the series and all 5 episodes of Echo are dropping on Disney+ on January 9, 2024.
