Each of these magical anti-heroes was starring in their own books at the time, making a team-up a natural step. The Midnight Sons, with a rotating cast of characters, became a fan-favorite, and nearly every member of the magical side of the Marvel Universe has been affiliated with the Sons, including Moon Knight.The MCU has already introduced elements that could support a Midnight Sons film. Clea appeared in the post-credits scene of Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, and the MCU has already introduced one version of Ghost Rider, with another on the way. The MCU was also set to introduce Blade, but the project was canceled. A Midnight Sons movie is described as the perfect place to try again. The film could also serve as a launching pad for other magic-based characters, such as the Shroud or Hannibal King.Why the Midnight Sons Could Match Guardians SuccessThe article argues that the Midnight Sons need to be in the MCU, and soon. Given that the team has a very loose affiliation of members, any director and writer who tackles the Midnight Sons will have plenty of characters to draw from. A Midnight Sons movie is described as a fan's dream that could be on par with Guardians of the Galaxy. Guardians kicked open the door for more obscure characters to thrive on the big screen, and without it, fans never would have gotten Ant-Man, Shang-Chi or even Werewolf by Night.A Midnight Sons movie could help revitalize the MCU by further exploring its magical corner. Doctor Strange's two MCU outings have shown this to be a fertile and untapped source of stories. The preview for Marc Spector: Moon Knight #9 is presented as a guide for how the MCU could depict the Midnight Sons. Most informal teams, like the Defenders, tend not to function well due to clashes of personalities, but the Midnight Sons show no signs of disarray. Instead, the team fights bravely, and its victory over the Mansion Ravenous is all but assured. The team's performance in the preview shows that it has the potential to be a major force in the MCU as well.
