Marvel's Moon Knight Revival Hopes Rest on Daredevil: Born Again's Success
MarvelMoon KnightDaredevil: Born Again

With Daredevil: Born Again serving as a blueprint for success, Marvel may be ready to revive its Moon Knight series, which failed to live up to expectations when it first premiered on Disney+. The new series should recontextualize Marc Spector for the MCU, ditching the magical suit and grounding the character.

When Marvel began producing shows for Disney+ , it took some big swings, succeeding with hits such as WandaVision and Loki, but also had some significant misses, like Secret Invasion.

One of those disappointing misfires was Moon Knight, which wasn't the exciting series that fans had envisioned. However, after two seasons, Daredevil: Born Again offers the perfect blueprint for Marvel Television to take another shot at Moon Knight in a similar format.

'Daredevil: Born Again' Proves That Small-Scale Stories Can Work on Disney+ When Disney+ first launched, executives were hesitant about putting any programming that wasn't family-friendly on the streaming service, limiting content to a PG-13 rating at most. However, that all changed when the Netflix-era Marvel television shows were finally added to Disney+ in 2022.

Although Marvel's Netflix franchise originally concluded with The Punisher Season 2 in 2019, its inclusion on Disney+ ultimately led to Daredevil's return in a new revival series, Daredevil: Born Again, which faithfully continued the Netflix legacy of darker, TV-MA-rated shows. The first season, which saw all the major cast members of the original series reprising their roles, proved to be a success, both critically and with viewers.

Posts 1 By Eddie Possehl Daredevil: Born Again perfected Marvel's new television model, proving that shows comparable to the ones that saw great success on Netflix, such as Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and Luke Cage, could perform on Disney+. Comic readers may recall that in the late 1990s, Marvel Comics launched a new imprint titled Marvel Knights.

These edgier, street-level stories were still set in the main Marvel 616 continuity, but they were more self-contained narratives rather than being connected to major events. With Daredevil: Born Again serving as proof that the Marvel Knights formula can work on-screen, the door is open for more revivals to follow suit.

'Moon Knight' Didn’t Stick the Landing When It First Premiered Although 2022's Moon Knight had a strong lead in Oscar Isaac, the miniseries didn't have the quality or the impact that viewers expected. The story was tonally uneven, spending too much screentime on the character's mythological origins without properly establishing the Moon Knight persona and powers.

Ethan Hawke's talents were also wasted in the role of a one-off villain from the comics, Arthur Harrow, who was hardly one of Moon Knight's most formidable foes. Additionally, subplots involving the Egyptian deities came off as odd and goofy, and there weren't enough scenes of Moon Knight in action, facing off against his unique gallery of villains.

Once Spector summons a magic costume, which makes him nigh-invulnerable and capable of surviving impalement, why does it give him a grappling hook? When Moon Knight debuted in the pages of Werewolf by Night #32, his costume, weapons, and gadgets weren't magical; they were provided by a group of villains called the Committee. The series also wasted Moon Knight's iconic"Mr. Knight" alter — the less said about that, the better.

'Moon Knight' Needs a Revival That Follows in 'Daredevil: Born Again's Footsteps The Moon Knight miniseries aired when Marvel and Disney were hesitant to delve into more mature, adult-skewing shows. Now that the model is a proven success with Daredevil: Born Again, which is currently shooting its third season, it's time for Marvel to bring back Moon Knight in a new series. The new series should recontextualize Marc Spector for the MCU, ditching the magical suit and grounding the character.

COLLIDER Collider · Quiz Collider Exclusive · Marvel Personality Quiz Which MCU Hero Are You? Spider-Man · Daredevil · Iron Man · Punisher · Thor · Cap Six heroes. One destiny. Answer 10 questions to discover which Marvel Cinematic Universe hero shares your personality, values, and fighting spirit.

Will you swing, fly, or thunder your way to glory? 🕷️Spider-Man 😈Daredevil 🤖Iron Man 💀Punisher ⚡Thor 🛡️Cap FIND YOUR HERO → QUESTION 1 / 10MOTIVATION 01 What drives you to do what's right? Choose the answer that feels most like you. AWith great power comes great responsibility — I protect those who can't protect themselves.

BMy faith and my conscience — I believe justice must be served, even in the dark. CLegacy and ego, honestly — but I've learned that others depend on me now. DThe system failed. Someone has to make sure the guilty actually pay.

EDuty to the innocent and honour to my name — I was born to protect realms. FThe values I was raised with — freedom, decency, and never backing down from a bully.

NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 2 / 10YOUR CITY 02 It's 2 AM. Where are you? Your answer says more about you than you'd think. ASwinging between skyscrapers, keeping an eye on the neighbourhood.

BRunning rooftops in Hell's Kitchen, listening for trouble. CIn my lab, upgrading my suit with a cold cup of coffee nearby. DStaking out a target I've been tracking for three weeks. ESomewhere between the stars, or at a feast that got out of hand.

FOn a morning run — I was up at 4, actually. Couldn't sleep.

NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 3 / 10CONFLICT STYLE 03 How do you handle a villain who keeps escaping justice? Every hero has a method. What's yours? AWeb them up and leave them for the police — again.

BBuild an airtight case and dismantle their entire operation from the inside. CDeploy a containment system I designed specifically for them. Tech wins. DMake sure they don't escape a third time.

Permanently. EChallenge them to single combat. Honour demands a decisive end. FRally allies, adapt the plan, and bring them in — by the book, even if it's hard.

NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 4 / 10SECRET IDENTITY 04 How do you feel about keeping a secret identity? The mask — or the lack of one — says everything. AEssential — my loved ones would be in danger if anyone found out who I am. BCritical — the mask protects my mission as much as my face.

COverrated — I announced myself to the world and I'd do it again. DI'm a ghost. The less people know about me, the better. EMy name is known across the Nine Realms.

There's no hiding it. FI don't hide — but I understand why some need to. Transparency builds trust.

NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 5 / 10LOSS & GRIEF 05 You've lost someone important because of your heroism. How do you carry that? Every hero pays a price. The question is how they pay it.

AWith guilt that never fully goes away — it pushes me to do better, every single day. BI channel it into purpose — their memory is the reason I keep fighting. CI buried myself in work for years. I'm only recently learning to face it.

DIt transformed me completely. I'm not the same person I was before. EWith warrior's grief — I honour them by fighting with everything I have. FI keep moving forward.

Stopping means letting the loss win. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 6 / 10TEAM DYNAMICS 06 What's your role when working with a team? Who you are under pressure is who you actually are. AThe enthusiastic wildcard who somehow makes it work — and keeps the mood up.

BThe strategist who works best alone but shows up when it matters most. CThe one who funds it, equips it, and occasionally takes over the whole operation. DI don't do teams. I'm more effective operating solo, on my terms.

EThe heavy hitter — I crash in, draw fire, and turn the tide of battle. FThe leader — I earn trust, build the plan, and make sure no one gets left behind.

NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 7 / 10MORAL CODE 07 Where do you draw the line between justice and revenge? The answer defines what kind of hero you really are. AClearly — I don't kill, and I wrestle with that line constantly. BI try to hold the line, but I've come terrifyingly close to crossing it.

CPractically — I do what's necessary to protect people, including hard calls. DI crossed that line long ago. What I do is justice — the system just won't admit it. EIn battle, victory is justice.

Mercy is earned — not automatic. FFirmly. The moment we abandon our principles, we become what we fight against.

NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 8 / 10EVERYDAY LIFE 08 When you're not saving the world, what does life look like? The person behind the mask is always the more interesting story. ATrying to juggle school, a part-time job, and not failing my friends. BWorking as a lawyer by day, fighting for justice in court and on the streets.

CRunning a global company, attending galas, and pretending I'm sleeping enough. DQuiet. Isolated. Surviving with a clear mission and no distractions.

ENavigating a bizarre and fascinating mortal world — coffee is extraordinary. FAdapting to a world decades ahead of everything I knew. Quietly, stubbornly.

NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 9 / 10FEAR 09 What keeps you up at night? Fear is useful data — if you're honest about what you're actually afraid of. AThe people I couldn't save — and the ones I might not reach in time tomorrow. BWhether the monster I fight every night is starting to live inside me too.

CThe threats I can see coming and whether my tech is actually good enough. DNothing. Silence is the only peace I get. I've made my choices.

EWhether I'm truly worthy — of the hammer, of the throne, of the people I protect. FA world where no one stands up anymore. Where good people do nothing.

NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 10 / 10FINAL STAND 10 The battle is lost. You're outnumbered, outgunned, and exhausted. What do you do? This is your tiebreaker — choose carefully.

ACrack a joke to buy a second, then find the one web shot that changes everything. BBlock out everything except the sound of the next threat — and keep going. CActivate the emergency protocol I built for exactly this scenario. Always have a plan.

DI don't accept that it's lost. I keep fighting until I physically cannot anymore. ECall the lightning. All of it.

The storm answers to me. FPick up the shield. Stand up. Because as long as I can stand, it's not over.

REVEAL MY HERO → Your Hero Has Been Identified Your MCU Hero Is… Based on your answers, the Marvel hero who matches your spirit, values, and instincts has been revealed. Queens, New York 🕷️ Spider-Man You carry the weight of the world on shoulders that are younger than they should have to be — funny, loyal, and endlessly self-sacrificing.

Hell's Kitchen, New York 😈 Daredevil You fight in the shadows between law and chaos, guided by a fierce moral compass that refuses to let the guilty walk free. Stark Industries, Malibu 🤖 Iron Man Brilliant, driven, and occasionally insufferable — but always the person who solves the unsolvable problem. New York City 💀 The Punisher You've been through fire that would break most people — and it did change you, completely.

What's left is unyielding, relentless, and operating by a code forged in grief. Asgard · Protector of the Nine Realms ⚡ Thor Powerful, proud, and on a lifelong journey to become worthy of the legend you carry. Brooklyn, New York · The Avengers 🛡️ Captain America You believe in something bigger than yourself — and you fight for it even when the world has moved on and nobody else will.

↻ RETAKE THE QUIZ A new Moon Knight series should also send the character back to the streets of New York City, where he can face off against darker and edgier villains, such as Morpheus and Stained Glass Scarlet. The previous miniseries didn't even properly introduce Raoul Bushman, the character's archenemy, beyond a brief reference, which is an omission worth rectifying on its own.

It'd be crucial for any new Moon Knight show to incorporate Moon Knight's aide, Frenchie, who pilots the iconic Moon-Copter. Any fight scenes should be grounded, gritty, and brutal, which Daredevil: Born Again absolutely excelled at delivering; although Moon Knight possesses enhanced abilities, his powers have limits, and his battles should take a more physical toll. There has been little news regarding the possibility of a Moon Knight reappearance in recent years.

However, if the Man Without Fear can find redemption and success on Disney+ with Daredevil: Born Again, the same could happen for Marvel's Fist of Khonshu. Hopefully, one of the franchise's most underutilized heroes will get his own revival in the form of a show that actually fits both the character and his comic book roots.
