Before Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 hit cinemas, a Marvel fan asked director James Gunn whether Moon Knight would ever team up with the loveable rogues in the MCU. While Gunn didn't believe that the self-proclaimed Fist Of Khonsu belonged with the Guardians, he did reveal that he once pitched a Moon Knight movie to Marvel and that this would be a priority for him if he had more time.
Fast forward to 2018 where Gunn now has a lot more time on his hands after Marvel fired him in light of his controversial tweets. Unfortunately though, it doesn't seem like the studio would ever greenlight Gunn's version of Moon Knight now, no matter how good it might have been.

Following the success of Marvel's The Defenders on Netflix, there have long been rumours that Moon Knight and other heroes like Blade and Ghost Rider could unite to form their own supernatural version of the team.
Former Daredevil showrunner Steven S DeKnight has expressed interest in the character too, but the closest we've come to seeing Marc Spector in the Netflix shows was just recently when screenwriter M Raven Metzner revealed that Moon Knight influenced the story behind Iron Fist season 2.
Tweets originally hinted that the vigilante could suit up alongside Danny Rand. Later on though, it became apparent that the showrunner was simply discussing Moon Knight in relation to Typhoid Mary as they both suffer from Dissociative Identity Disorder.
However, he also didn't discount Spector's eventual appearance in one of the Marvel Netflix shows, so anything is possible.

Although Moon Knight has never directly appeared in a Marvel movie, the scene in Captain America: Winter Soldier where Agent Sitwell discusses potential threats to HYDRA includes mention of a dangerous man in Cairo, which also happens to be where Moon Knight first gained his powers.
Earlier this year, studio head Kevin Feige revealed that Marvel will finally deliver on this promise and bring Spector to the MCU, although it might not be any time soon. Speaking to Screenrant, Feige confirmed that Moon Knight will appear eventually, but that this could happen five, 10 or even 15 years from now.
While this is ultimately good news for fans of the character, we can't help but feel that another lunar eclipse is more likely to rear its head in real life before the spectre of Moon Knight finally appears on screen.
Iron Fist season two lands on Netflix on September 7.
