   What are the dates for the Series?

We already know the series will release on Disney+, but the dates haven’t been announced yet. It is probably due to the shutting down of productions in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. However, in 2019, Kevin Feige announced that the series will wrap up the first season at the end of 2020, but there haven’t been any follow-ups on it. In these situations, we believe the series will come out in mid or late 2021.

   Who is Going to be Moon Knight?

There had been several rumors about Keanu Reaves being cast in the lead role and the fans were way too excited, the creators confirmed that they love Reaves to the core but there are problems in his casting. It is probably due to Reaves’ age that he cannot be cast after all the role requires too much commitment. The lead has not been announced yet.
