Marvel Reveals If Oscar Isaac's Moon Knight Got Thanos-Snapped

Image
Avengers: Infinity War  delivered a significant event that caused massive ramifications across the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The aforementioned phenomenon was Thanos' Snap, otherwise known as the Blip, where half of the universe's population is turned into dust. While the fate of most MCU heroes has already been revealed during that movie and  Avengers:  Endgame , the same isn't true for newer characters like Shang-Chi and Yelena Belova in Phase 4.  However, these characters' fates are slowly being unveiled. Hawkeye revealed that Yelena was one of Thanos' victims during Infinity War while Hailee Steinfeld confirmed that Kate Bishop survived the events of the 2018 MCU blockbuster.  ADVERTISEMENT Eternals confirmed that every member of the team survived the Snap, mainly because they are not living beings.

Moon Knight 's introduction of a brand-new hero into the Marvel Cinematic Universe has led to speculation about if this character will eventually join the ranks of the Avengers. The upcoming Marvel series will showcase the debut of Oscar Isaac as the titular vigilante, with him going up against Ethan Hawke's Arthur Harrow.

Why Marvel Got Confused by Oscar Isaac’s Moon Knight Performance
