Werewolf by Night and Moon Knight have a long-standing relationship within Marvel Comics lore. Because of the connection, many expected Werewolf by Night to show up in Disney+'s Moon Knight earlier this year. That speculation never panned out, and it looks like fans shouldn't be holding out hope for a crossover in Marvel's upcoming Werewolf by Night Halloween special. According to Michael Giacchino, there are no immediate plans for the two characters to appear together.
Why should Werewolf by Night and Moon Knight crossover?As stated by Giacchino, the lycanthrope predates Marc Spector by three years in the source material. In fact, the moon-soaked vigilante didn't first appear in the Marvel lore until popping up in Werewolf by Night #32 in 1975. The two also have comparable powersets in that they have both exhibited the ability to draw enhanced powers from the moon and similar methods.
Was the werewolf ever going to appear in Moon Knight?Despite teasers for the show featuring the Fist of Khonshu fighting an anthropomorphic wolf, Werewolf by Night himself was never set to appear in the series. Moon Knight head writer Jeremy Slater told us earlier this year the series was unable to use him due to the studio's commitments for the character.
