Ms. Marvel's Moon Knight Connection Could Be An Important MCU Plot Clue

Ms. Marvel's Moon Knight Connection Could Be An Important MCU Plot Clue
The Ms. Marvel trailer might already tease the lasting impact Moon Knight has on the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As the MCU continues to expand in Phase 4, Marvel Studios is doubling down on the connectivity between different properties. Shang-Chi included multiple surprise cameos of known MCU characters, Spider-Man: No Way Home linked three eras of Spider-Man together, and WandaVision directly set up the events of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. This has only raised speculation about how Disney+ shows like Moon Knight, which star a brand new MCU superhero, will connect to the wider universe.

Throughout the marketing of Moon Knight, Marvel has kept the focus on Oscar Isaac's MCU character and the twisted adventure he'll lead. Despite rumors of some known MCU characters appearing, there has been no clear evidence to support this. Instead, Moon Knight has potentially teased connections to Kang the Conqueror and could influence the MCU's future as it explores Egyptian mythology and the supernatural side of Marvel. It now seems that audiences could see a glimpse of how Moon Knight impacts where the shared universe goes next as soon as Ms. Marvel.

In the first Ms. Marvel trailer, there is a moment early on that shows Kamala Khan in one of her classes. The book sitting on her desk indicates that they are learning about ancient history, but it seems to specifically be about Egyptian history. While this could be a coincidence, Ms. Marvel will be the first MCU Disney+ show released after Moon Knight. As a result, it would make sense for Kamala Khan's series to reference Moon Knight's events in some fashion. Now that it looks like Kamala is studying Egyptian history or mythology, the school could make this part of the focus following recent events in Egypt and the debut of a "local" hero in Moon Knight.
Kamala and others studying Egypt after Moon Knight could speak to how the show will change the MCU plot. The MCU already established that high schools teach students about prominent characters, as Peter Parker's school has references to Hank Pym, Howard Stark, Abraham Erskine, and others. If Moon Knight's story leads to a major event happening in Egypt, it would not be surprising to see a school tie in current events to the past, using Moon Knight as an excuse to dive into Egyptian history.

If Ms. Marvel references the events of Moon Knight, that gives audiences a brief glimpse at the lasting impact Oscar Isaac's superhero has on the MCU. There is even the possibility that the Moon Knight mantle is one of legend and that other people have dawned a similarly all-white moon-themed suit in the past. It also speaks to Moon Knight's origin story being told in a very public manner, as people in Kamala Khan's school will have to be aware of what transpires in order to connect it to the Egyptian history lesson. Only time will tell if Ms. Marvel connects to Moon Knight, but the latter should have a lasting impact on the MCU.
