Now , in an audience withThe Direct , Moon Knighthead writer and executive manufacturer Jeremy Slater give away the Disney+ show originally featured credit toThor : Love and Thunder , namely Gorr the God Butcher . When asked how much of the movie ’s plot of land factor out into the series , Slater says it was " both a lot and a small , " and noted they had " different adaptation of the script[s ] " for ifMoon Knightreleased before or afterLove and nose drops . Read what he share below :
Both a flock and a little . But the realness is that we had no idea — when we bug out knead on the show , we did n’t know when we were debut . We always sort of take it would be afterward down the route , and we would sort of be coming out in fall of 2022 , and we thought we would probably be following Thor [: Love and Thunder ] . But at that prison term , Thor did n’t necessarily have a concrete release date either , everything was sort of up in the air , and it ’s like we might be ahead of Thor , or we might be finishing up . So there were different variation of the script where the Gods would sort of tattle about , ‘ This thing with Gorr the God Butcher just happened , and now we ’ve got this young problem . ’ And then there were other adaptation of the script where they sort of speak about , ‘ We ’re learn rumour [ that ] divinity are die , this is not the right time to get take . ’ Like we tried to have our cake and feed it too .
We knew the ecumenical meter of what would encounter in Thor : Love and Thunder , so that we would n’t be contradict anything . But we had versions of the story that sort of teased Gorr ’s arrival , and [ ones ] that were sort of taking place in the aftermath of that pic . finally at some point , Marvel just made the originative decision , ‘ You acknowledge what , we do n’t necessarily need this . ’ The agency that Ennead fit ultimately panned out in Episode 3 , it did n’t sense like there was an constitutive position to sort of driblet - in , like , ‘ Oh , and by the way , this has nothing to do with the story we ’re presently telling , but there ’s a thing happening over here . ’ I think Marvel is getting very smart about how they sort of work in those reference and cameo , and they ’ll do it if it makes sense . [ They wo n’t ] do it if they hurt the story , [ so ] they do n’t do it just for the sake of doing it . I suppose that was a sentence where they felt like , ‘ We ’re stretching to make this connection , we do n’t really need it .
Ultimately , Marvel made the creative decision to geld the Gorr consultation entirely . As woodlouse note , Moon Knightdidn’t sufferas a result but rather strived due to its want of MCU references , allowing the show tells a more contain story and routine as a true character study . ThoughMoon KnightandLove and Thunderare similar in their geographic expedition of mythology and cellular inclusion of god , this was n’t enough to guarantee a reference or cameo in the MCU series .
Moon Knightwas tasked with enter various Egyptian deity to the MCU , such as Khonshu , Ammit , Taweret , and the integral Ennead . On the other hand , Marvel’sThormovies famously feature Norse gods and goddess , such as Thor , Valkyrie , and Sif , andLove and Thunderwill introduce Greek gods as well , such asRussell Crowe as Zeus . However , sinceThor : Love and Thunder ’s baddie is a galactic killer hellbent on eliminatingallgods , this suggests Gorr will also be after the Egyptian Supreme Being introduced inMoon Knight . Some have theorise he already is , as the show ’s Ennead batting order appeared to be missing a few gods .
