Hey I know a decent amount of us have discussed the Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely* (and other writers) interest in bringing Moon Knight into the MCU. I've noticed all of the different blog's, articles, videos, and forum posts that focus on Winter Soldier easter eggs describe the Spector reference as vague. Or is it?
Now that a few months have passed it is fairly easy to catch the roof top clip of Sitwell's stammering name drops. I watched it again because within all of these articles he is cited as saying "a man from Cairo". Well after watching the scene again, he actually says "TV anchor in Cairo"
Why is that important class?
Bendis and Maleev's forgettable run on Moon Knight offered a take on the character as a TV producer. It may seem like I'm diving too far into it but I feel it is worth noting because that could very well be the realism needed to bring him into the MCU prior to and even after Doctor Strange hits theaters. My logic is that, given the creative allowance he could easily be a fatally injured reporter covering war and unrest in Egypt. Maybe he can be caught in the Crossfire (rumored to be appearing in Ant-Man).
A fan can only hope right?
*I've seen Sphinx has been listed as a possible candidate from Egypt but as he's a villain I couldn't see how he'd be a threat or interest to Hydra. He also hasn't been involved in TV as far as I know and his more prominent tie to the MCU hasn't even shown up yet (see Nova).
Feel free to drop some commentary or better yet: Can you tell me why or why not any of this is plausible?
*This post has been edited as I originally had the Russo's as writers talking about Moon Knight interest when it was Markus and McFeely.
