On March 30, a new series based on a character created by Marvel arrives at Disney +. Is about moon knight (Moonknight), a hero played by renowned actor Óscar Isaac and that he will face neither more nor less than Ethan Hawke himself in the role of Arthur Harrow. So as you can imagine, the hype machine has started and the expectation is growing.

A loose verse from the UCM?
As we were saying, in addition to the desire to see it have gone in crescendo In recent weeks, so have the questions that many fans of this Marvel Cinematic Universe have begun to question, since nothing would be worse in the world (we imagine that) than the story of this gentleman will move away from everything we have seen over the last 14 years.
In any case, and although only some media have had access to the first four chapters (of six) and have generally praised Disney’s work, none touches the fundamental issue of whether events are addressed, or do they connect at some point, with the story arc of the entire cinematic universe. So we had to resort to a few words from the producer of the series, Grant Curtis, in which he has clarified many things.
Inside or outside the MCU?
The fact is that, at first, the producer of the series has already advanced that in the case of Moon Knight, will not share existence or vital space with what he considers the old companions of battles and adventures of Captain America, Iron Man, etc.: «There will be no connection with the UCM. Moon Knight it is something new and a brand entirely built for it is going to be created. Still, fans are going to really enjoy the character and how we’ve created this whole new universe.”
Any questions? Moon Knight will not be connected with any events of those that we have seen and that have made rivers of ink run about the future of a phase 4 that is already (almost) in full swing. Which brings us to a franchise that launches what could be considered a new strategy by Disney + in which the general public will be able to access the adventures of a hero without having to have seen all of the above. That in this case the UCM includes more than twenty movies and five series without counting Ms Marvelwhich will be released on June 8.
Although it will be from March 30 when we will be able to verify that what the producer of the series said is real, now it is time to get used to the idea that the moon knight lives, either in a separate universe where the events starring the Avengers and the rest of the heroes have never existed, or within another time period in which both plot lines have never touched. Do you think that a decision of this magnitude can make of Moon Knight a less interesting series?
