After one of the most monumental phases of the MCU came to an end, only a handful of MCU shows or movies managed to impress the audience. Moon Knight has been one of them. Not only the show, but the character itself holds a lot of potential and is set to become an integral part of the Avengers in the future.
And now that Kevin Feige has also confirmed Moon Knight will be teaming up with the Avengers soon enough, fans are eagerly waiting. But what makes Moon Knight so impressive? The comics hold many such pieces of evidence, and one among them was single-handedly beating Kang!
How Moon Knight Absolutely Demolished Kang in the Comics?
Although it may seem unlikely at first, Moon Knight and Kang the Conqueror go way back. Believe it or not, Moon Knight’s ancient Egyptian origins link him closely to Kang, more specifically, to his Rama-Tut variant, resulting in numerous clashes throughout the comics, including their latest encounter in the 2019 Moon Knight Annual Vol. 2 #1.
In that storyline, Kang as he does in his own typical fashion, tries to rewrite time according to his own desires. However, his old foe, Khonshu, the god who resurrected Moon Knight as his avatar does not let that happen obviously. Thus, Khonshu sends Moon Knight as his agent, to take it upon himself to rectify the temporal chaos and confront Kang.
And how does he do that? Well, first it required him to retrieve mystical totems scattered across time by Khonshu as Kang was after them. Thus, he teamed up with the past versions of himself to catch up to the villain. Ultimately, they succeeded in banishing Kang beyond the confines of the timeline, effectively neutralizing his threat. Therefore, if someone finds the defeat of the villain in Ant-Man 3 impressive, they should wait to see Moon Knight defeat Kang on screen.
This might go on to show the fans how much of a treat they are in for when it comes to this superhero. And how Kevin Feige brings everything to life is something the fans are eagerly waiting for. One thing is confirmed, it is just the beginning for Moon Knight!
What Fans Can Expect from Moon Knight in Avengers 5?
Speculations suggest that Moon Knight could have a significant role in Avengers 5. As seen in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, the multiverse’s Council of Kangs poses a substantial threat, with an Easter egg in the post-credits scene hinting at Rama-Tut’s involvement.
Although Season 2 of Moon Knight hasn’t been confirmed yet, it’s speculated that it could serve as a crucial setup for the upcoming Avengers movie. With the potential to explore Moon Knight’s connections to Kang variants and the multiverse, Season 2 may provide vital context and groundwork for the larger Avengers storyline.
Amid controversies surrounding Jonathan Majors and his potential departure from the role of Kang, the future of the character and related films remains uncertain. Despite rumors of recasting, Deadline reporter reports Marvel Studios intends to keep Kang in the MCU, but they will thoroughly evaluate potential replacements, taking their time with the decision.
