The Midnight Suns join the Marvel Cinematic Universe and there are some familiar faces among the team in this stunning piece of fan artwork.
Shared on Instagram by digital artist Ben Solo Cup, the fan poster puts together a possible list of candidates that could be part of the Midnight Suns in the MCU if Marvel Studios decides to ever introduce the supernatural-powered team. At the top of the poster is Agatha Harkness from WandaVision, followed clockwise by Elsa Bloodstone (Werewolf by Night), Black Knight (Eternals), Ghost Rider, Moon Knight, Man-Thing (Werewolf by Night) and Werewolf by Night, with Blade in the center. At the time of writing, Ghost Rider and Blade have not made their official debuts in the MCU while Black Knight’s civilian identity, Dane Whitman, has not picked up the Ebony Blade yet.

Beginning with Phase 4 of the MCU, Marvel began to introduce more supernatural characters, leading many fans to theorize that a Midnight Suns project is being planned. While most of Ben Solo Cup’s team lineup has been properly introduced, Blade, set to be played by Mahershala Ali, has not yet appeared in the MCU aside from a voice cameo in Eternals. A Blade reboot film has been stuck in the pre-production phase for over four years, with creative departures, the COVID-19 pandemic and the WAG and SAG-AFTRA strikes all leading to delays. Filming is now expected to begin following the conclusion of the actors’ strike.
Marvel Rumored to Be Working on a Ghost Rider Reboot
While both the Johnny Blaze and Robbie Reyes Ghost Riders previously appeared in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., it is unknown if Marvel Studios still views the fan-favorite ABC drama series as part of the MCU. According to credible scooper MyTimeToShineHello, Marvel was working on a reboot of the Ghost Rider franchise before the start of the Hollywood strikes and will restart development once both strikes are over. Nicolas Cage is also rumored to be reprising his role as Johnny Blaze/Ghost Rider from the Ghost Rider films in an undisclosed future MCU project.

Kathryn Hahn’s portrayal of Agatha Harkness was well-received among both critics and fans when she appeared in WandaVision, leading to Marvel developing a solo project for the character titled Agatha: Darkhold Diaries. The upcoming Disney+ series follows Agatha as she breaks free of the spell the Scarlet Witch placed on her in the series finale of WandaVision. However, Agatha, now powerless, must embark on a quest with some allies to regain her powers. Agatha will introduce a new coven of witches to the MCU, played by Aubrey Plaza, Patti LuPone, Sasheer Zamata and Ali Ahn. The show will also include Joe Locke as the coven’s “familiar,” someone who attends to/obeys witches, vampires and other magical beings.
WandaVision, Moon Knight and Werewolf by Night are streaming on Disney+. Blade is currently scheduled to open in theaters on Feb. 14, 2025.
