Oscar Isaac Skips Star Wars Event, Sparks Moon Knight MCU Buzz

Hold onto your moon amulets – Oscar Isaac might be reprising his role as Moon Knight in Avengers: Doomsday. Crazy as it sounds, there's actually some intriguing evidence pointing in this direction.

Earlier this weekend, Star Wars Celebration's social channels dropped a bombshell: Isaac won't be attending this year's convention in Japan due to "changes in his production schedule." This sudden cancellation has sent shockwaves through fandom circles.

Let's rewind: back in February, Isaac's Star Wars Celebration appearance was announced as a major headline, fueling speculation about Poe Dameron's potential return. Given that Daisy Ridley used the same platform last year to announce her Star Wars comeback, fans immediately assumed history might repeat itself.

While the specifics of Isaac's scheduling conflict weren't disclosed, observant fans quickly connected the dots. With Avengers: Doomsday currently shooting in London, social media lit up with theories about Moon Knight joining Earth's Mightiest Heroes:

He's gonna be filming Doomsday?

Now, let's temper expectations – this remains unconfirmed speculation. While Marvel loves its surprise casting reveals, Isaac's name was notably absent from the massive Doomsday cast announcement. That said, Kevin Feige did hint there were more secret cast members during the CinemaCon live stream with his coy "We revealed many, not all" comment.

The timing is certainly interesting. Moon Knight's acclaimed first season dropped in 2022 with no official word on season two yet. With Avengers: Doomsday set for May 1, 2026, fans are left wondering if Marc Spector's next appearance might be on the big screen rather than Disney+.

In other MCU detective work, eagle-eyed fans have been analyzing Robert Downey Jr's recent hairstyle choices after the Iron Man legend sent out Doctor Doom-themed invites for his 60th birthday bash.

The recent Avengers: Doomsday cast reveal practically turned into an X-Men reunion special. Kelsey Grammer returns as Beast (fresh from The Marvels post-credits), joined by X-Men legends like Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romijn, and James Marsden. With this flood of mutant talent, some fans are wondering: Is Doomsday secretly setting up an Avengers vs. X-Men showdown?
