MOON KNIGHT Creator Says Character's MCU Future Is All in Kevin Feige and Oscar Isaac's Hands — GeekTyrant
It's been a while since Moon Knight wrapped its six-episode run on Disney+, and fans have been left wondering when (or if) we'll see Marc Spector and his many alter egos again in the MCU.
According to series creator Jeremy Slater, your guess is as good as his. When asked about the future of the character in the MCU, he told ComicBook:
'Oh, God, I have no idea. If we do, I probably would not be involved. I am trying to launch my directing career. I am hoping to shoot in August.
'We are out to an Oscar-winning actor right now and waiting on his response, so it's very exciting. TV takes you off the board for two or three years.'
Slater made it clear that the future of Moon Knight isn't something he's been looped in on.
'If there is another Moon Knight, the ball is in Kevin Feige and Oscar Isaac's court. I don't know the details of their contract.
Once Kevin figures out the best way to use that character, what is the right story and who are the right storytellers to bring that to life, I would be shocked if we didn't see him again at some point.
'But, that's me speculating as a fan. I have no inside knowledge. I haven't talked to anyone at Marvel in a couple of years.'
Moon Knight debuted in 2022 during Marvel's Phase 4, and since then, the character has been noticeably absent from the larger MCU, aside from a cameo in What If...? Season 3. No signs of him in Avengers: Doomsday, and Oscar Isaac has been quiet about the role ever since.
With Marvel now staring down the barrel of Phase 6, and other shows like Loki and Daredevil: Born Again getting multiple seasons or major crossover moments, it's curious that Moon Knight hasn't made another appearance, especially given the show's unique mythology, unique tone, and Isaac's layered performance as a man navigating dissociative identity disorder while also moonlighting as a vigilante wrapped in Egyptian mysticism.
For now, all roads point back to Feige and Isaac. Whether or not they choose to bring Moon Knight back into the fold, Slater's words suggest we shouldn't rule him out just yet.
'I would be shocked if we didn't see him again at some point.'
Marvel Television head Brad Winderbaum previously explained that the Marvel Cinematic Universe absolutely has future plans for Moon Knight — they just likely won't come in the form of another TV season. Winderbaum explained:
'So I think Marvel Television has happened in waves, and I think Moon Knight happened in a wave of shows that were going to establish characters that would tie-in to the future. And moving forward our priorities have shifted.
'We're making shows as shows that can exist as annual releases, more like television. I would love to see a Moon Knight Season 2, but there are plans for Moon Knight down the road.'
It's been rumored that the character could return for three Marvel movies with Avengers: Doomsday , Avengers: Secret Wars , and Midnight Suns . We'll just have to wait and see if there's any truth to those rumors.

Apple Music Chief: It's 'Crazy' Other Streaming Services Offer Free Music Tiers
Music icon on an iPhone NurPhoto via Getty Images Oliver Schusser, Apple Music's top executive, said it's 'crazy' that other music streaming platforms continue to offer free consumer tiers and suggested it devalues music as a form of art. Speaking with National Music Publishers Assn. CEO David Israelite during the organization's annual meeting on June 11, Schusser, vice president of Apple Music and International Content, said, 'I think it's crazy that 20 years in, we still offer music for free. We're the only service that doesn't have a free service. As a company, we look at music as art, and we would never want to give away art for free.' He likened Apple's music streaming model to its parent company's business model for television streaming service Apple TV+. 'Let me give you an example,' he said. 'In January we added the most successful show in the world on AppleTV +. It's called 'Severance.' You know what you have to do to watch 'Severance'? You had to sign up to Apple TV+ and pay $10. It isn't available anywhere for free,' he said. Pointing to Gracie Abrams - who accepted the Billboard Breakthrough Songwriter of Year award at the event, and Kacey Musgraves, who was honored with this year's NMPA Songwriter Icon Award - Schusser added, 'So I don't understand why Gracie's album would be available for free, or Kacey's. It makes no sense. We don't have a free service, we will not have one, we have no plans for one.' Schusser's comments come as tensions persist between the music industry and the streaming platforms, where songwriters are still often splitting pennies per play, and new offerings are exacerbating the situation. Spotify last year began offering subscriptions that bundle music with audiobooks, a move Amazon Music has recently parroted. 'The songwriting and music publishing community has been in what seems like a never-ending dispute with Spotify, a company that's constantly attacking songwriters and trying to cut what they pay," said Israelite. "And now Amazon is also bundling and we've seen a reduction of royalties in the last few months.' At the meeting, NMPA executive VP and general counsel Danielle Aguirre put numbers behind those losses. 'We lost over $230 million' last year as a direct result of Spotify's bundles, she noted, and in the first three months since Amazon started bundling, 'we've seen a 40 percent decrease in music revenue from Amazon.' Israelite shared that music publishing revenue in the U.S. grew 17 percent to more than $7 billion last year, but suggested that growth would be more significant if strenuous government regulation such as mechanical royalties weren't a factor.

Wow, There's A Big Dichotomy Between The Fans And Critics Who Watched Samuel L. Jackson And Pierce Brosnan's New Movie
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Cowboys, gunslingers, and revenge stories still captivated critics and audiences in the western genre. This past year, we had the Peter Dinklage-led western The Thicket with an 80% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, and Ari Aster's upcoming western movie, Eddington, already had a 66% critics score before its July release. As for Samuel L. Jackson and Pierce Brosnan's new western, The Unholy Trinity, it's insane the huge dichotomy between what critics and audiences say about it. The 2025 movie release of The Unholy Trinity follows a mysterious figure (Samuel L. Jackson) and a new sheriff (Pierce Brosnan) who gets caught up in a young man on a quest to murder the man who led to his framed father's execution. Based on the film's trailer, we see what's typical of an 1870s-set backdrop of mountain landscapes, saloons, and gunslinging action on horseback. Rotten Tomatoes' contested scoring process marks a movie with a 'Fresh' or 'Rotten' score, as determined by a range of critics' reviews. While an audience's score has always been there, the site's brand new popcornmeter is taking what audiences say more seriously with its 'Hot' or 'Stale' scale. In the case of The Unholy Trinity on Rotten Tomatoes, the dichotomy between critics and audiences is huge, receiving a 'Rotten' 17% from the critics, but a 66% from its verified audience. Based on 18 critics' reviews, two reviews felt The Unholy Trinity was more for a straight-to-VOD or a television-made movie compared to a theatrical release. Many felt it didn't offer anything original to the western genre, with a couple of critics reacting with the term 'blasphemy.' Audiences, however, had a more positive spin on the new western. While many expressed disappointment in many plot points being left unexplored, plenty were impressed with the cast, its action sequences, and found it an entertaining western. Make an early call yourself after watching the trailer below. This wouldn't be the first time that critics and audiences haven't been in agreement on Rotten Tomatoes. Movies like Jumper, Bullet Train, Waiting…, and more have had differing scales of critics and audience scores. In terms of the latest movies that have come out, fans and critics were not on the same page with A Minecraft Movie, with a 48% critics score and an 85% audience score. While the Lilo and Stitch remake received good reviews all around, critics didn't like the Disney movie as much as audiences did, which was verified as 'Hot' on the popcornmeter with a 93% audience rating, but a 72% critics rating. It proves right there that critics and audiences have very different visions of what makes a good movie worth watching. The hugely contrasting opinions critics and audiences are having over Samuel L. Jackson and Pierce Brosnan's new movie are incredible. The Unholy Trinity may have felt unoriginal to critics, but it looks like audiences were still entertained by what they saw. Sometimes, a solid cast and spectacular action sequences are clearly enough to win audiences over and give them a good time in theaters. If you want to see why audiences are favoring the new western-crime movie, make sure to catch The Unholy Trinity in theaters now.

What Is the Dress of Summer? It's Surprisingly Simple
Every summer, without fail, a fan-favorite dress emerges; a dress becomes the dress. During the pandemic, for instance, the strawberry dress went viral—and everyone on your Instagram or TikTok page was wearing it. Last year, sheer naked dresses were all the rage. It's no surprise that statement dresses become popular during the season, as they are the perfect, easy garment to wear during a heat wave. And given we are officially entering the summer season next week, we're currently wondering: What will the breakout summer dress of 2025 be? According to celebrities, there are already signs of the silhouettes will reign supreme. Over the past few weeks, stars have been debuting their best summer frocks—and the consensus this year is that minimalism is back. (I mean, did it ever leave?). Simple, sleek maxi dresses—from tank dresses to slinky gowns—have been making their rounds both on the streets and on the red carpets. Compared to bold floral dresses (which are often popular this time of year), the new crop of summer sdummer whisper a sense of elegance. Dakota Johnson Photo: Splash News Cardi B Photo: Backgrid There have been both day and night approaches to the more streamlined look. In New York City, Dakota Johnson recently stepped out in a white Khaite tank dress that was a perfect choice for elevated day wear. The square neck and calf-length hemline made it feel modern, and it's precisely the kind of timeless design you can sport for many summers to come. Ditto for Cardi B and her beige bodycon halter dress: With no embellishments or bright colors, it put all emphasis on the figure and her killer accessories. (With Cardi, that always includes a staggering heel.) For a more formal nighttime feel, meanwhile, simple tank or slip dresses have also prevailed. At the Cannes Film Festival last month, Bella Hadid slinked her way onto the red carpet in a draped black Saint Laurent gown. Again, it was all about the open back and high slit—and less about the dress itself being overly complicated or flashy. In New York, Miley Cyrus wore a black sheer sheath dress; what it lacked in ornamentation, it made up for in drama via a totally-transparent fabrication. Why do such simple looks feel so right for this summer? For starters, they point to the quiet mood of fashion in general right now: Rather than going super experimental, brands like The Row, Lemaire, and Khaite are all zeroing in on classic silhouettes this season. Clearly, the stealthy-chic trend is resonating, and has now ventured into summer dress territory. Still, that doesn't mean your warm weather wardrobe has to be devoid of personality in the months to come. As these stylish celebrities have proven, add a great shoe and fun jewelry, and your look can still have a major impact. Consider these simple dresses your blank canvas—but how you style them, is when a true style masterpiece happens. Start brainstorming, Picassos.
