Hold onto your seats, Marvel fans—Oscar Isaac might be reprising his role as Moon Knight in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday. While this news has sent shockwaves through the fan community, recent developments have lent credence to the speculation.
Over the weekend, Star Wars Celebration's official social media channels announced that Isaac would no longer be attending the convention in Japan this year due to shifts in his production schedule. Initially, his appearance at the event had fueled rumors of a return as Poe Dameron in the Star Wars universe, especially after Daisy Ridley's announcement of her involvement in a new Star Wars film at the 2023 celebration. However, Isaac's schedule change has now sparked a different kind of speculation.
While the specifics of Isaac's new commitments remain undisclosed, the timing is intriguing as Avengers: Doomsday is currently in production in London. Fans have quickly connected the dots, leading to widespread buzz about Moon Knight's potential involvement in the film.

Despite the excitement, it's crucial to remember that this is still just a theory. Isaac's name was notably absent from the initial Avengers: Doomsday cast reveal. Yet, Marvel Studios producer Kevin Feige hinted at more surprises during a video call at CinemaCon, stating, "We revealed many, not all." This leaves the door open for fans to continue dreaming about Isaac's potential return.
Isaac's portrayal of Moon Knight in the 2022 six-episode series was a hit, but Marvel has yet to confirm a second season. Avengers: Doomsday is slated for release on May 1, 2026, promising a star-studded lineup of returning heroes, as showcased in the epic livestream.
Meanwhile, MCU enthusiasts have been buzzing about another intriguing development: Robert Downey Jr. recently sent out a Doctor Doom-themed invitation for his 60th birthday party, adding yet another layer of mystery to the MCU's future plans.
The cast reveal for Avengers: Doomsday last month spotlighted a strong presence of veteran X-Men actors, including Kelsey Grammer, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romijn, and James Marsden. This has led to speculation about the film potentially being an Avengers vs. X-Men crossover. Grammer, who played Beast, made his MCU debut in The Marvels' post-credits scene, while Stewart reprised his role as Charles Xavier/Professor X in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. McKellen, Cumming, Romijn, and Marsden, known for their roles as Magneto, Nightcrawler, Mystique, and Cyclops respectively, have yet to make their MCU debuts, further fueling the anticipation and speculation around Avengers: Doomsday.
