Marvel’s latest TV shakeup has claimed another casualty—Moon Knight Season 2 isn’t happening, according to Marvel exec Brad Winderbaum.
Word comes from Brad Winderbaum, the head of Marvel TV, who, worth a note, has been spinning more fairy tales than Rumpelstiltskin as of late.
Priorities have shifted
Marvel exec Brad Winderbaum says Moon Knight isn’t getting a second season, but the character will return in future MCU projects.
Winderbaum fills in Comic Book, “I would love to see a Moon Knight Season 2, but there are plans for Moon Knight down the road.”
“So I think Marvel Television has happened in waves, and I think Moon Knight happened in a wave of shows that were going to establish characters that would tie-in to the future,” Winderbaum said. “And moving forward our priorities have shifted. We’re making shows as shows that can exist as annual releases, more like television.”
Recently also saw the news that as a result of those shifting priorities that Marvel TV has paused development on Nova, Strange Academy, and Terror Inc.
Marvel’s shift in priority is all about money
As I previously went over, those shifting priorities have everything to do with money, so Marvel TV isn’t doing anymore expensive shows. Bob Iger confirmed Disney lost billions in streaming. Marvel spent $200 million on EACH of the seasons of She-Hulk, Secret Invasion, etc. — all of which bombed on Disney+. As a matter of fact, due to the big Secret Invasion fail, Marvel Studios revamped its TV division where those “priorities have shifted” and Nova, Strange Academy, and Terror Inc. were put on the chopping block.
You’ll probably see more street-level type shows like Daredevil: Born Again, which is why you are hearing those recent rumors about the return of the Marvel Netflix characters because those types of shows are cheap to make (Echo, Agatha, etc). I’d actually love Disney to do an audit of Marvel because I don’t know where those $200 million budgets went on She-Hulk, Secret Invasion, etc. Guessing a lot had to do with DEI “loans.”
What sucks is that I’m a big Nova fan but because Kevin Feige went with the DEI characters that no one likes and DEI creators who don’t give a f’k about comics or putting out a quality story, now I have to pay the consequences. Disney needs to clean house at Marvel. Lucasfilm, too. Look what happened with Captain America: Brave New World. Fans don’t want that.
With no clear timeline for Moon Knight’s return, fans are left wondering—will we have to wait another decade for the Fist of Khonshu?
