Moon Knight was pretty light on connections to the MCU and cameos from other heroes, but that wasn’t always going to be the case.
In fact, according to EP Jeremy Slater, at one point the Eternals were going to be in the show. Speaking in a recent interview, he said:
“I tried very hard to get the Eternals into the show, just because I’m buddies with Kumail Nanjiani… I want[ed] some Kingo. At one point, there was a flashback on the page that sort of showed one of Khonshu’s Avatars back in ancient Egypt, sort of dealing with Ammit being locked away, and Alexander the Great, and all of that stuff. You sort of saw this Avatar team-up with the Eternals. It was a really fun scene, but again, it was so massively expensive to recreate Ancient Egypt, to sort of bring in 3 or 4 of the Eternals to have this big action sequence.”
Slater goes on to note that the scene featuring the Eternals would’ve been a “cold open to one of the episodes,” but admits it was the right thing to do for Moon Knight” to cut it. And quite frankly, we agree.
