Moon Knight Director Says It Would Be ‘a Waste’ Not to Have a Season 2 or Follow-Up

Moon Knight’s finale episode was originally teased by Disney as the series finale, before becoming the season finale. Unlike the earlier Loki series, however, we don’t get firm confirmation that Marc Spector and Steven Grant will return for another adventure. Director Mohamed Diab can’t be sure of a Season 2 either, but says it would be “a waste” of the show’s characters not to return.

Diab originally pitched the series to Marvel Studios and ended up directing episodes 1, 3, 5, and 6. Despite having a ton of creative input on the show, Diab admitted to IGN that he has no clue whether Moon Knight will get a follow-up.

“First of all, I am in the dark. Just like you, I have no clue about what’s gonna happen in the future. And I’m not just saying that. Marvel loves the allure of the secrecy. I think it’s part of the game that they’re playing with the fans, and fans love that,” Diab told IGN in an interview. 

Diab said it would be “a waste not to continue the story with Marc and Steven,” but he has no clue if that follow-up would be another season of the show, a film, or an appearance in another Marvel Studios project. This mirrors previous statements made by Ethan Hawke, who told IGN that the show “functions as a limited series,” but could be “the origin story of a larger thing.”

Despite not knowing whether there will be a Moon Knight follow-up, Diab said that he’d be excited to return to the character. “Oh absolutely. I would love to be part of expanding that world which I helped build and feel like it’s mine. It feels like it’s home for me and [co-producer Sara Goher]. So I’d love that to happen one day,” he explained. 

Without spoilers, Moon Knight ended on a bit of a cliffhanger, offering a tease of a character known by comics fans, who made their presence felt all over the series. There was also the inclusion of a brand-new Egyptian hero. Whether it’s the series or season finale, Moon Knight Episode 6 definitely offered further directions for the story of Marc Spector, Steven Grant, Layla El-Faouly, and the ancient god Khonshu. 

The next Disney+ Marvel series will be Ms. Marvel, which will begin airing on the streaming service on June 8.
