Rumors are swirling that Oscar Isaac might reprise his role as Moon Knight in the upcoming blockbuster Avengers: Doomsday. The speculation gained traction after Isaac unexpectedly canceled his appearance at Star Wars Celebration in Japan, citing changes in his production schedule. This news came as a surprise to fans who were eagerly anticipating any updates on his character Poe Dameron from the Star Wars saga, especially after Daisy Ridley's recent announcement of her return to the franchise.
Isaac's scheduling conflict has led fans to connect the dots to Avengers: Doomsday, which is currently in production in London. Social media has been abuzz with excitement and speculation, with users like James Young, G the Gamer, and Taco John hinting at Isaac's possible involvement in the film.
While Isaac's name was notably absent from the official Avengers: Doomsday cast reveal, Marvel Studios producer Kevin Feige hinted that the full cast list was not disclosed during the livestream. "We revealed many, not all," Feige stated during a video call at CinemaCon, leaving room for surprises.
Isaac's portrayal of Moon Knight in the 2022 series was a hit, but no sequel has been officially announced yet. Avengers: Doomsday is slated for release on May 1, 2026, and promises to bring back a host of beloved characters, as showcased in the epic livestream.
Adding to the MCU buzz, fans are also speculating about Robert Downey Jr.'s recent Doctor Doom-themed birthday invitation, wondering if it hints at a larger role for the iconic villain.
The Avengers: Doomsday cast reveal last month was dominated by veteran X-Men actors, including Kelsey Grammer, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romijn, and James Marsden. This has led to speculation that the film might be setting up an Avengers vs. X-Men storyline, with Grammer's Beast already making an MCU debut in The Marvels' post-credits scene, and Stewart's brief appearance as Professor X in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The inclusion of these actors raises intriguing questions about the film's plot and the integration of the X-Men into the MCU.
