Marvel’s Moon Knight Show Reportedly Starts Filming This Fall

Filming on Marvel’s upcoming Moon Knight show for Disney+ will reportedly begin this fall. Once Phase 3 concluded last summer, Marvel Studios finally began confirming what their plans were for Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Movies like Black Widow and Thor: Love and Thunder were officially announced, while the studio also revealed the first wave of MCU Disney+ shows. The Falcon and The Winter Soldier and WandaVision will be the first to arrive in 2020, but many others are in development.

Although not part of the initial lineup announcement, a solo series for Marc Spector was revealed to be in the works last year. Marvel didn’t give a timetable for when Moon Knight will be released at that time but it has started to come together since. Jeremy Slater (The Umbrella Academy) was hired as the lead writer and a Moon Knight casting search is underway to find the man who will be beneath the striking all-white costume. But, fans of the (potentially insane) superhero who believes he gets his powers from the Egyptian moon god Khonshu still do not know when the series will debut.

According to a report from The GWW, Marvel is planning to begin production on Moon Knight this fall. Contrary to reports of a UK production starting in August, filming will now reportedly begin in mid-November in Atlanta, Georgia. The reason for this change is not known. This new possible start for the series gives Marvel more time to find their Marc Spector and might mean the series won’t be released until sometime in 2022 on Disney+.

So far, it appears Marvel Studios is operating under similar production timelines with their TV shows as they do with their films. They routinely begin production on an MCU movie roughly a year before the announced release date and that has stayed the same for Disney+. The Falcon and The Winter Soldier and WandaVision both began filming last fall and will be released a few months apart at the end of this year. While this November start for Moon Knight could then have the series ready for a late 2021 release, the already full MCU slate for that year, the potential for production to go all over the world, and a likely break for the holidays could push the release to early 2022.

Without a clear reason for Moon Knight‘s production shift, it is also possible this could be the result of Marvel firming up their plans for Phase 4. They recently moved WandaVision up to a 2020 release, which could’ve left Disney+ with just LokiHawkeye, and Marvel’s What If…? in 2021. However, a recent report points to Ms. Marvel being released in 2021 as well, leaving only Moon Knight and She-Hulk as the MCU shows with unconfirmed target release windows. If Moon Knight isn’t planned for a 2021 release, then the need to begin production in early fall of this year doesn’t exist. The exact release for Moon Knight will be left for Marvel to confirm, but the production start at least begins to give fans an idea for when Spector’s MCU debut could happen.
