While folks like Blade and even the Hulk were rumored for Moon Knight cameos before the show released, neither of them ended up appearing.
In fact, the series as a whole was pretty light on connections to the wider MCU and didn’t feature any notable guest stars. But that wasn’t always the case, as EP Jeremy Slater has now revealed that originally, they wanted Dane Whitman to stop by and share a scene with the titular hero.
“We talked about Dane Whitman a little bit just because he works in a history museum and that could be a natural interaction. My feeling was if we got Kit Harington to show up and he doesn’t suit up and he doesn’t kick ass, as a fan I’m pissed off.
If I see him show up I want to see him go full Black Knight. Just seeing an interaction where he walks past and goes ‘Oh hey Steven,’ who responds ‘Oh, hey Professor Whitman!’ It felt like that would be a waste of the money it would cost Kit Harington in there.
Also, there’s only so much you can do to tease those reveals before people get frustrated. There was no space in those first two episodes to have him suit up and play Black Knight in the storyline, so we ultimately decided that it didn’t make sense to make this connection. But it was something we definitely talked about a couple days in the room.”
Slater certainly makes some good points and while it would’ve been cool to see Harington on Moon Knight, we can rest easy knowing that Marvel still has big plans for him to come.
