This is a film that Marvel Studios has never talked about and therefore, has never been made official. However, according to the latest rumors, the production that had been abandoned would be back in development, much to the delight of fans.
Marvel Studios continues to develop its MCU with new projects
Currently, Marvel Studios is focusing on the next big MCU production, which has been entrusted to the Russo brothers. Indeed, the duo is back in business to direct Avengers: Doomsday with Robert Downey Jr. playing Doctor Doom. Filming is underway, and as Phase 6 of the MCU approaches, which will begin with Fantastic Four: Beginning, the House of Ideas has reportedly decided to re-release a project that had leaked and been abandoned.
Of course, first of all, it should be noted that these are just rumors. They come to us from Daniel Richtman. Last February, the insider announced the creation of a Midnight Sons film with film composer Michael Giacchino as director.
Marvel is preparing the arrival of the Midnight Sons in the MCU
For those wondering who the Midnight Sons are, they are a collective of anti-heroes that Doctor Strange brings together. Among them are Ghost Rider, Moon Knight, Morbius, Blade, and Jack Russell. These characters possess powers from the supernatural side of the Marvel Universe and they will unite to fight Lillith, the demon queen freed from the womb of the Leviathan.
Since then, the film has not been heard of again and seemed to be at a standstill. But Daniel Richtman has just shared some interesting news with us regarding this project. According to his information, indeed, production was on hold and has just recently restarted. The negative point is that Michael Green, who was the film's screenwriter, would no longer be part of the project. He is currently working on the series Blade Runner 2099 as an executive producer for Amazon Prime Video.
So far, only a few Midnight Sons characters have appeared in the MCU and the team's name has not been mentioned in any Marvel films or series. Suffice to say, we won't see the Midnight Sons reuniting in theaters anytime soon. As a reminder, Blade is not ready to make his arrival in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, just like the presence of Ghost Rider, which remains unknown.
Still, if this rumor were to be confirmed, there is very little chance that this Midnight Sons movie would find a place in Phase 6 of the MCU, but rather in Phase 7. But this team of characters makes us want to explore the dark and mystical side of the Marvel Universe.
