Oscar Isaac Exits Star Wars Event, MCU Fans Speculate Moon Knight in Avengers: Doomsday

Hold onto your hats, Marvel fans, because whispers are swirling that Oscar Isaac might be reprising his role as Moon Knight in the upcoming blockbuster, Avengers: Doomsday. The buzz started after Star Wars Celebration announced that Isaac would no longer be attending their event in Japan due to a shift in his production schedule. This news came as a surprise, especially since Isaac's appearance was highly anticipated, fueling speculation about his return to the Star Wars universe as Poe Dameron.

The plot thickened when fans connected the dots between Isaac's scheduling conflict and the ongoing production of Avengers: Doomsday in London. Social media erupted with speculation, with fans like James Young, G the Gamer, and Taco John all hinting at the possibility of Isaac joining the Doomsday cast.

While this theory is tantalizing, it's important to note that Isaac's name was absent from the initial Doomsday cast reveal. However, Marvel Studios producer Kevin Feige added fuel to the fire by stating at CinemaCon that the livestream did not include the entire cast, leaving room for surprises. "We revealed many, not all," Feige teased, keeping the door open for Isaac's potential involvement.

Isaac's portrayal of Moon Knight in the 2022 six-episode series was a hit, but Marvel has yet to confirm a second season. Meanwhile, Avengers: Doomsday is slated for a May 1, 2026 release, promising a star-studded lineup and epic storytelling as showcased in the recent livestream.

In other MCU news, fans are buzzing about Robert Downey Jr.'s recent Doctor Doom-themed birthday invitation, adding another layer of intrigue to the Marvel universe.

As for Avengers: Doomsday, the cast reveal last month was a nod to the X-Men franchise, with actors like Kelsey Grammer (Beast), Patrick Stewart (Professor X), Ian McKellen (Magneto), Alan Cumming (Nightcrawler), Rebecca Romijn (Mystique), and James Marsden (Cyclops) all confirmed to appear. This has led to speculation that Doomsday might be setting the stage for an epic Avengers vs. X-Men showdown.

So, while we wait for official word on Isaac's involvement, the excitement and speculation continue to build. Could Moon Knight be joining the fray in Avengers: Doomsday? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure: the Marvel universe is never short on surprises.
