Moon Knight’s Post-Credits Introduces Jake Lockley

Moon Knight episode 6 surprisingly, includes a post-credits scene that gradually changes things by introducing Jake Lockley. There is no wonder how the show has repeatedly teased the presence of a third alter who is even more violent than Marc Spector.

Moon Knight episode 6 post-credits scene includes Jake Lockley picking up Arthur Harrow from a psychiatric hospital. Then, Jake kills many employees to get Arthur out alive and throws him in a fancy cab with Khonshu in the back.

Khonshu also confirms that Jake Lockley is his Avatar now. Jake doesn’t flinch when the moon god allows him to kill Arthur Harrow by firing multiple shots inside the cab. While the shots themselves or consequences are not shown, it appears that Jake Lockley’s brutality is quickly proving to be beneficial.

Now that Moon Knight’s ending has already happened, it is obvious to think about what his MCU future looks like. The introduction of Jake Lockley as Moon Knight’s third alter is itself a big deal that will further twist Marc and Steven’s relationship.

This could be explored in various MCU projects, but Moon Knight season 2 also seems like a happening. The character is very well-suited for the long-form storytelling that Disney+ does. Over the Jake Lockley tease, Moon Knight’s MCU future is cracked open already. Though Marc is not currently serving Khonshu, that might indicate that it will likely be a while before the superhero crosses over with other identities and properties.
