In the ever-evolving landscape of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, whispers of another ambitious team-up are surfacing, and this one takes a turn for the dark side. While fans eagerly await the morally complex Thunderbolts debut, a new rumor is gaining momentum — the Midnight Sons might be making their live-action entry into the MCU.
Insider extraordinaire Daniel Richtman, known as DanielRPK on Patreon, spills the beans, revealing that Marvel Studios is in the early stages of developing a Midnight Sons film.
The rumor mill suggests that Michael Giacchino, the director behind Werewolf by Night, is a top contender to lead this supernatural ensemble.
The speculation gains weight as DanielRPK aligns with information from the r/DCULeaks subreddit, hinting at the involvement of Stephen Broussard, Marvel Studios’ Production and Development head, in a Midnight Sons project.
But who are the Midnight Sons?
Originating from Marvel Comics in 1992, this group of supernatural superheroes tackles mystical threats. The lineup, including Ghost Rider, Blade, Doctor Strange, Moon Knight, and Iron Fist, has evolved over the years. Recent boosts in the Midnight Sons‘ popularity stem from the 2022 video game Marvel’s Midnight Suns and the upcoming 2024 comic series Midnight Sons: Blood Hunt.
The MCU might witness the Midnight Sons’ arrival, and Moon Knight star Oscar Isaac is already vying for a spot. Speaking at the Middle East Film & Comic Con, Isaac expressed keen interest, stating, “I thought there was an interesting opportunity with ‘Midnight Sons.'” He envisions the film as an exciting project and hopes to explore this possibility within the expansive Marvel universe.
As speculations swirl and stars express enthusiasm, the Midnight Sons‘ potential MCU debut promises a dark and thrilling addition to Marvel’s cinematic tapestry. Stay tuned for updates on this supernatural saga as it unfolds.
