Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Moon Knighthas been teased to subsist in the Marvel Cinematic Universe by twoCaptain Americamovies . Marc Spector , the schizophrenic Marvel anti - hero known as Moon Knight , has long been near the top of characters that fans desire to be infix on the gravid screen . And , while he has not yet made his MCU debut , Captain America : The Winter SoldierandCaptain America : Civil Warmay have serve lay the foundation .
First up , inCaptain America : The Winter Soldierthere ’s is a brief minute of dialogue by Agent Jasper Sitwell that may have set about to pave the way for Moon Knight . After Sitwell is pretermit off a building and rescued by Falcon , he begins to explicate Project Insight and the algorithm that Arnim Zola created to decide next menace to Hydra . During this explanation , Sitwell mentions the like of Bruce Banner and Stephen Strange ( which was before a solo movie starring Benedict Cumberbatch had been announce ) as people that would be identify as threats . But , include in this list is a vague description of a TV ground tackle in Cairo , Egypt .

The Egypt connections then keep inCaptain America : Civil Warin a more subtle mode . When Secretary Thunderbolt Ross shows the Avengers the catastrophes they are partially creditworthy for , he has a mathematical function full of global incidents . Most of the markings can be attributed to know result in the MCU like Sokovia , theBattle of New York , and Hulk ’s rampage in Brazil , but there ’s a few that are n’t clear . The locations of these event appear to be Russia , China , Australia , and … Egypt . Could it be that the TV ground tackle place by Project Insight as a menace actually is none other than Marc Spector and this Egypt incident is connected to his vigilante activities ?
Although there is no grueling evidence that support that these two Egyptian ties to the MCU are connected to Moon Knight , it is the most likely root , especially give the repeat and who ’s plant them . Both of theCaptain Americafilms in enquiry were take by Anthony and Joe Russo and written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely . Markus previously shared his Leslie Townes Hope that someone will make"a really good Moon Knight movie"in the future onFatman on Batmanthat poise his cheesy history with his update style . Since he is a bounteous fan of the character , it is conceivable that he , McFeely , and the Russos worked in some potential Easter bollock in their MCU work . These twoCaptain Americafilms also helped stick in fiber like Falcon and Spider - Man , so it would n’t be too surprising if Moon Knight was being subtly set up as well .
Moon Knight is also a character that Marvel Studios lead Kevin Feige has become increasingly more concerned in bring to the screen . He confirmed last year thatMoon Knight is among the grapheme they are considering using , but is not trusted when on the button it will happen . James Gunn even pitched his ideafor a movie eld ago but it never happened . If these teases are in fact for Marc Spector , then hopefully something happens sooner than after .
And , even if theCaptain AmericaEgypt references were not primitively for Moon Knight , Marvel could well retcon them to be so , similar toPeter Parker ’s debut inIron Man 2.All it would take is for one of Marc Spector ’s identities to be the TV anchorperson in Cairo , while the instance key out by Ross could be from one of his earlier adventures as a protector . Only prison term will differentiate whether or not these tease pay off , but we can only hope they do so andMoon Knightmakes his way into the MCU before too long .
