An Artifact inMoon KnightMay Hold a Connection to the Wider Marvel Cinematic Universe

Here ’s aMoon Knighttheory about Harrow ’s Ammit - headed cane and how it could tie into other parts of theMarvel Cinematic Universe . As the obtuse burn of theDisney+ showkicks into train and for the most part resist on its own in terms of world - construction , we could n’t avail but notice this small particular .

Now , Ammit is the crocodile - head goddess of divine retribution and a devourer of individual . Throughout each episode we ’ve construe of Moon Knight , Arthur Harrow and his disciples work against Marc Spector / Steven Grant to bring this deity back , hop-skip to bring about a aggregated judgment over human race . In earlier episode when Harrow pre - jurist , he soak up the lifetime force of those the scales deem bad ( allegedly ) . It also glows purplish and offend open a purple portal from which he come up jackals to do his bidding .

What ’s curious is how this violet DOE has been a common yarn in this phase of MCU storytelling , and specifically its link to mythical object . This could be a path for organism from other realms to thwart over . Maybe even deity like Ammit , or say … a certain god sad sack we ’ll see inThor : Love and Thunder . Before we get ahead of ourselves permit ’s catch up on where we ’ve seen this purple vim weave its way around the MCU .

Most recently , inSpider - Man : No Way Homewhen Peter disrupt Dr. Strange ’s spell , purple cracks form all around them . Wong did admonish them , “ That spell move the dark borders between known and unnamed realism , it ’s too grave ” before they capture to throw off . And we screw no amount of magic stucco stopped thing from coming through .

InWandaVision , it ’s tethered to the Darkhold inAgatha Harkness ’ cellar in Westview . After her big reveal , we find out she absorbs power with her empurpled trick , and she also drain the DOE of others , like the coven she once go to , so as to attain power . InShang - Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings , Shang ’s father Wenwu hears a voice coming from the rings that mimics his wife , postulate him to free her from a hell on earth - like prison in Ta - Lo . finally , we witness out the Dweller in Darkness has fob him into relinquish it and its soul - greedy demons .

All these dark objects play as a conduit for sinister beings to take the life force or powers of others , whether through beings from beyond or human avatars . In retrospect , Agatha could have totally been an avatar for whoever she was serving ( no we wo n’t say their name ) . It certainly seems possible that the freehanded badness here could tie into the evils of what ’s behind the curtain in this phase angle of the MCU . And while Oscar Isaacisn’t contracted to returnto the MCU , Moon Knight might end up do a theatrical role in what ’s to get along .
