Without a doubt, Moon Knight has provided something fresh to the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe. By creating something new, this Disney+ series is, indeed, breaking new ground that will resonate among fans. The thing is, the Fist of Khonshu doesn't necessarily have to be a lone wolf traversing the vast landscape beyond its series. There are tons of ideas out there that can elevate this hero to new heights if done properly.
That can happen if Marvel pairs Moon Knight with the right characters sometime in the future. But instead of teaming him up with the Captain Americas and Spider-Mans of the world, the better choice would be to step out of everyone's comfort zone and go crazy with the possibilities. We take a deep dive down below at the best and craziest team-up ideas for Moon Knight.
Loki
Ever since he graced the big screen in Thor's first film, Loki has captured the hearts and minds of everyone, thanks to his devilish charm and outstanding wit. And even if he has died multiple times over the past few years, the establishment of the Multiverse paves the way for his return to the MCU, albeit as a variant if it does happen.
The current Loki stranded with the Time Variance Authority has a good chance of landing in the main MCU. If that happens, a team-up with Moon Knight will definitely leave everyone with their jaws on the floor.
Just imagine Marc Spector's alpha male, along with Steven Grant's fumbling personality, interacting with one god of mischief for a given time. This can produce some of the wittiest conversations ever thought of in a Marvel project with these two sharing the same screen. And even if they're in different playgrounds in the MCU right now, there's no saying what the minds behind Marvel can come up if these two are on the board.
Hulk
Just recently, Moon Knight director Mohamed Diab said that if given the choice, he would like Moon Knight to team up with only one Avenger – the Hulk.
“I love a lot of people. I love everyone in the MCU. Oscar said this idea about teaming up with the Hulk. It’s a crazy idea to have two people, in a way, who have two characters interacting with each other. Just imagine that back and forth, back and forth, between the four of them. It would be so interesting. I like Mark Ruffalo, for sure. I love everyone, but I’m telling you that interaction could be very interesting.,” Diab said.
Thinking about what Diab and Oscar Isaac came up with and it makes a lot of sense down the line for Marvel. Moon Knight has a pair of personalities living inside him, which happened during most of Hulk's stint in the MCU. If these two meet, fans can expect a gold of mine of comedy as they try to start a conversation. And it gets better if they are placed in a scenario where they have to work towards a common goal, which is something in line with what's currently happening in Moon Knight right now.
Whatever the case may be, these two deserve some kind of series if Marvel wants to step out of its comfort zone and try something new.
Guardians of the Galaxy
It's a given that the Guardians of the Galaxy operate in deep space while Moon Knight leans more towards the adventure/mystical side of Marvel. Given the circumstances, the studio can still make these two franchises meet if it wants to.
If it comes to that, fans can expect a feast of snarkiness and bonkers dialogue between Moon Knight, Starlord, Rocket, Groot, Drax, Mantis, Nebula, and Gamora. If the past Guardians films and their appearances in Infinity War and Endgame are good indications, the potential scenes they can have with both Marc and Steven are going to bring the whole house down.
Of course, for that to happen, there has to be a massive threat that will unite all corners of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. If something like Secret Wars happens, as most rumors point out, this is one possible team-up that can generate an insane amount of hype for Marvel.
Daredevil
While the Guardians may seem like a far-fetched choice, there's one that can happen easily – Daredevil.
Keep in mind that these two are street-level heroes in the comics who happen to team up on several occasions. With Charlie Cox officially being cast as the MCU's Matt Murdock, there's every chance for these two to meet. The brains behind these projects can come together and have these heroes tackle a common foe, with Kingpin being the most popular choice out there. With Daredevil's stoic personality, coupled with Moon Knight's comedic Marc/Steven dynamic, the level of adventure here is going to be insane.
Deadpool
While all of the options above offer something different, Moon Knight's potential team-up with Deadpool is the one that can melt everyone's minds away.
It's no secret that the Merc with a Mouth will soon make his debut in the MCU. With Ryan Reynold's star power, Deadpool's trademark brand of comedy, and Moon Knight's multiple personalities, there's no saying how much fun this duo can make. And while the potential is really there, Marvel must keep in mind to come up with a compelling reason for these guys to meet and spend an adventure together. The same goes too with everyone else on this list.
If the guys behind Marvel, specifically their head honcho Kevin Feige, would want to expand Moon Knight's presence in the MCU without being too dark or brooding, the characters above are the best team-up options that can be considered.
