Oscar Isaac Skips Star Wars Event; MCU Fans Speculate Moon Knight in Avengers: Doomsday

Rumors are swirling that Oscar Isaac might reprise his role as Moon Knight in the highly anticipated film, Avengers: Doomsday. This speculation gained traction after Star Wars Celebration announced that Isaac would not be attending their event in Japan due to changes in his production schedule. Originally set to appear, Isaac's absence fueled speculation about his involvement in other major projects, particularly since Avengers: Doomsday is currently filming in London.

Isaac's potential return as Moon Knight has fans buzzing, especially since his last appearance in the character's solo series in 2022. While Marvel has yet to confirm a second season, the possibility of seeing Moon Knight in Avengers: Doomsday has sparked excitement across social media platforms.

Despite the excitement, it's important to note that Isaac's name was not included in the initial cast reveal for Avengers: Doomsday. However, Marvel Studios producer Kevin Feige hinted at more surprises, stating during a CinemaCon video call that the livestream did not include the entire cast. This leaves the door open for unexpected additions, including Isaac's Moon Knight.

Avengers: Doomsday is slated for release on May 1, 2026, and promises to bring back a host of beloved heroes and introduce new faces to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The recent cast reveal heavily featured veteran X-Men actors such as Kelsey Grammer (Beast), Patrick Stewart (Charles Xavier/Professor X), Ian McKellen (Magneto), Alan Cumming (Nightcrawler), Rebecca Romijn (Mystique), and James Marsden (Cyclops), suggesting a significant X-Men presence in the film. This has led fans to wonder if Avengers: Doomsday might be setting the stage for an epic Avengers vs. X-Men storyline.

In other MCU news, fans are also intrigued by Robert Downey Jr.'s recent Doctor Doom-themed invitation for his 60th birthday party, adding another layer of speculation to the ever-evolving MCU narrative.
