This text incorporates spoilers for the “Marvel Zombies” finale.
The most recent animated entry within the Marvel Cinematic Universe has left us on a cliffhanger. “Marvel Zombies” ended with Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani) giving into The Crimson Queen, Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen), who seemingly reverted the world again to a zombie-free state — not less than, that is what Kamala thought occurred. However whereas Ms. Marvel worries if she’s nonetheless caught in a nightmare, one factor that feels sure is that the buddies that fought alongside her within the battle for all times and loss of life are now not together with her. However there’s an opportunity one may return.
After seeing the horrific sights of Shang Chi (Simu-Liu), Ant-Man (Paul Rudd), and firm being overwhelmed, it is protected to say that the final stand in opposition to the undead was precisely that. Nonetheless, there was one character that did not die by a nibble to the neck, however was as a substitute caught on the receiving finish of an undead god. Even with all his deadly ability, the present’s MVP, Blade Knight (Todd Williams, bringing two characters collectively in an incredible approach), was no match for the thunderous energy of a zombie Thor, who burned him into oblivion till not even his bones had been left. Whereas it was actually a visceral exit, that is Blade Knight we’re speaking about, whose very existence is one thing of a recreation changer not only for “Marvel Zombies,” however the MCU as an entire. As a mere vampire-killer, there is not any doubt that his defeat on the undead thunder god could be everlasting, however because the Fist of Khonshu, may he make a comeback if one other deity permits it?
Might Blade Knight return to Marvel Zombies with the assistance of Khonshu?
Because the Egyptian god of the moon and the protector of vacationers of the night time, Khonshu is famend for giving his avatars a second probability, even enlisting them into his trigger once they’re on the edge, and even past it themselves.
As revealed in each comedian lore and the “Moon Knight” collection, Marc Spector, the Moon Knight of Earth-616 (performed by Oscar Isaac within the Disney+ collection), was near loss of life when he discovered himself on the toes of a Khonshu statue and introduced again to life for a mission of a special form. From then on, there have been different cases the place Marc was revived, most not too long ago throughout the very immediately named “The Loss of life of Moon Knight” story occasion within the comics. Given these repeated resurrections of 1 character, would possibly there be an opportunity that, if we see a second season of “Marvel Zombies” shuffle to life, Blade Knight may come too?
As we noticed in our heroes’ journey to New Asgard, Blade’s reference to the moon god appeared fairly robust and civil, which is one thing Marc has been barely inconsistent with previously. With that in thoughts, Khonshu may use his powers to carry Blade again from the lifeless and rejoin Kamala’s effort. Or may the following season (if there may be one) see a model new hero get enlisted into the Moon Knight’s mission as a substitute?
Might Marvel Zombies season 2 have Khonshu give rise to a brand new Moon Knight?
A number of the most enjoyable components of the animated part of the MCU have been when sure heroes have merged their powers with others. “What If…?” noticed Storm use Mjolnir and Spider-Man don Physician Unusual’s cape earlier than it was utilized by the indifferent head of Ant-Man, and now we have seen what occurs if Khonshu enlists the powers of the Daywalker for help. However whereas there nonetheless may be an opportunity Blade may return to the land of the dwelling, it’d make for an attention-grabbing change-up if within the subsequent season of “Marvel Zombies,” Khonshu discovered one other Moon Knight as a substitute.
Having already built-in some X-Males characters into the animated area of Marvel’s ever-expansive world, would possibly there be an opportunity that the likes of Nightcrawler or Wolverine may discover themselves combating with the Fist of Khonshu and thereby turn out to be a brand new protector for Kamala? Within the comics, Wolverine was one of many first heroes she met, which might make for a pleasant nod. Talking of fists, would not the most recent protector of Ok’un-Lun, aka The Iron Fist (who made their MCU debut in “Eyes of Wakanda”), make a becoming substitute and obtain probably an excellent cooler look than the one Blade ended up with? No matter occurs, we will solely hope that Kamala finds safety below the moonlight if “Marvel Zombies” return for a second chunk.
