The Eternals Were Originally Planned To Cameo In ‘Moon Knight’

Moon Knight and Eternals have been the opposite ends of the MCU’s spectrum in a lot of ways. Moon Knight was a part of the Supernatural section of the MCU, while Eternals was a part of the Cosmic section. It was more brutal while also being more grounded when compared with Eternals. It also had a better reception, among both critics and the audience. It had very few references to the MCU(which it was widely praised for) while Eternals was jam-packed with them. Surely there is no way we can fit a character like Moon Knight with the Eternals in the same image, right? or can we, as you will learn in this post.

Scrapped Eternals Cameos From Moon Knight

In an interview with The Direct, Moon Knight head writer and executive producer Jeremy Slater opened up about the Eternals’ scrapped appearances from an early draft of Moon Knight’s script.

“I tried very hard to get the Eternals into the show, just because I’m buddies with Kumail Nanjiani… I want[ed] some Kingo. At one point, there was a flashback on the page that sort of showed one of Khonshu’s Avatars back in ancient Egypt, sort of dealing with Ammit being locked away, and Alexander the Great, and all of that stuff. You sort of saw this Avatar team-up with the Eternals. It was a really fun scene, but again, it was so massively expensive to recreate Ancient Egypt, to sort of bring in 3 or 4 of the Eternals to have this big action sequence.”

“It was one of those things where it was a very fun scene, and it would have been a great cold open to one of the episodes, but it also would have had to come out of our budget somewhere else, and probably would have hurt our finale along the way. So, that was the cameo I had to cut. It hurt, but it was also the right thing to do for the show, and I think everyone sort of collectively agreed. There’s plenty of time in the future to team this guy up with other characters in the MCU and start building these connections; let’s not force something just because the other shows have all had it.”
