Moon Knight Actor Oscar Isaac has Another Major Marvel Character to Play


In case you missed it, Marvel Studios has found its Moon Knight in Oscar Isaac. However, Marc Spector isn't exactly the Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker actor's first Marvel role. After all, Isaac has already played a very important character in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

Fans were recently delighted when it was confirmed that Isaac would take on the lead role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe series Moon Knight that will air on Disney+. This was welcome news considering that Marc Spector is a rather complicated character to play and would require a truly talented actor to take on the role.

Moon Knight might be Isaac's first live-action Marvel role but it's not exactly his first. In Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse, the Dune star had a small cameo as Miguel O'Hara aka Spider-Man 2099 in the animated film. Interestingly, that brief cameo actually hinted at Miguel playing a larger role in Spider-Verse 2.

In the post-credits scene, Miguel speaks with his AI, who confirms that the device that will allow him to jump between universes is finally ready. This would mean that Spider-Man 2099 could be the one who can help the other Spider-People to travel safely through the multiverse. With that in mind, Miguel could have a significant role in the sequel.

For now, it has not yet been confirmed whether Isaac will return in Spider-Verse 2. However, there's a good chance this will be announced by next year.
