Moon Knight almost featured a few more familiar faces in its recent finale, as 2 major MCU cameos were planned but didn’t end up happening.
Director Mohamed Diab revealed the interesting tidbit in an interview with Variety when he was asked to address the lack of crossovers with others characters in the cinematic universe. He noted that originally there were a couple of cameos set for the final episode, but ultimately, they were cut.
“We had the freedom to place it whenever. I want to tell you the very first scene, there was a crossover, and the very end scene, there was a crossover. But as the story developed and we kept changing the scripts, we felt like, “We don’t need that.” All of us. It was a collective decision. And then I kept thinking: It’s a rule. There has to be a scene at the end that connects us to the MCU.
But I think they decided, “You know what, the surprise is that there isn’t, and what’s going to make this show unique is it doesn’t need anything else.” The best compliment we get on the show is when people tell us, “This doesn’t feel like a Marvel show. It feels like a standalone show that feels more dramatic, more dark, grounded.” I feel like we succeeded in bringing Marvel more to our corner. So, so proud and happy.”
Moon Knight is now streaming in its entirety on Disney Plus.
