“I tried really hard to put the Eternals in our series, also because I’m friends with Kumail Nanjiani… I wanted Kingo to appear”he confessed. “At one point we had a flashback that showed one of Khonshhu’s avatars in ancient Egypt fighting Ammit and interacting with Alexander the Great – and he was joining the Eternals on this quest”completed slater in an interview with The Direct.

The filmmaker still defined the scene as “very fun”but admitted that “recreating ancient Egypt was very expensive, and doing it just to bring 4 or 5 of the Eternals into the series” it didn’t seem worth it. “It would have been a good opening for one of the episodes, but that would have ended up out of the budget we had for the finale.”said.

“It hurt to have to cut this cameo, but it was the right thing to do for the show, and I think everyone agreed with that. We have a lot of time in the future to put Moon Knight with other characters in the MCU and start building those connections.”concluded slater. Has he accidentally confirmed the continuation of the hero of Oscar Isaac in the Marvel Cinematic Universe?

“Moon Knight” follows the life of Steven Grant (Oscar Isaac), a kind, polite and apparently normal man, but who discovers he has a double identity, sharing his personality with that of the ruthless mercenary, Marc Spectorwho ends up assuming the powers of the Egyptian god Khonshuafter being between life and death, and becomes the moon knight.

Despite the loose ends left by history, Isaac already revealed, in interviews, that the super production was thought to have only one season and should not have a sequel. At least, not in serial format.

All six episodes of “Moon Knight” are available on Disney+.
