4 Powerful Superheroes Join Forces In Brilliant MCU Fan Art

Four powerful MCU heroes join forces in stylish new fan art depicting Marvel Studios’ heavily-rumored Midnight Sons team. Marvel Studios hasn’t yet confirmed the development of a live-action adaptation of Marvel Comics’ Midnight Sons, but that hasn’t stopped rumors of the team’s formation in the MCU from emerging. In Marvel Comics, the Midnight Sons formed as part of the Rise of the Midnight Sons storyline in 1992’s Ghost Rider (Vol. 3) #31, bringing together several supernatural superheroes to face some of Marvel’s weirder and more mystical threats. In recent years, many potential Midnight Sons members have debuted in the MCU.

Since there’s been no confirmation, it’s unclear what Marvel Studios’ Midnight Sons line-up would be. However, fan art shared by Raimivision has imagined Blade, Daredevil, Ghost Rider and Moon Knight as the first iteration of the supernatural MCU team.

While Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock, a.k.a. Daredevil, and Oscar Isaac’s Marc Spector, a.k.a. Moon Knight, have already appeared in the MCU, Blade and Ghost Rider have yet to make their debuts. Mahershala Ali will portray Eric Brooks’ Blade in Marvel Studios’ Blade reboot, and while Ghost Rider’s future is less clear, he certainly deserves a spot among the MCU’s Midnight Sons.

Marvel Studios Has Introduced Several Midnight Sons Members

Marvel Comics’ Midnight Sons roster has, at one time or another, been packed full of supernatural heroes, and many of these names have already been introduced to the MCU – or will be debuting very soon. Perhaps the most recognizable name is Doctor Strange, who became one of the earliest recruits to the Midnight Sons team soon after their formation in 1992. Benedict Cumberbatch has portrayed Doctor Strange since 2016’s eponymous Phase 3 project, Doctor Strange, and would be the perfect ring-leader for the Midnight Sons team, who were based, for a time, in the Sanctum Sanctorum in Marvel Comics.

Other MCU heroes who have been, or currently are, members of Marvel Comics’ Midnight Sons include Moon Knight, Wong and the Scarlet Witch, who could all make their way into the MCU’s line-up. The team also includes Jack Russell’s Werewolf by Night, Elsa Bloodstone and Man-Thing, all of whom debuted in Marvel Studios’ first Special Presentation, Werewolf by Night. Danny Rand’s Iron Fist has also been a member of the Midnight Sons, so this could mark a strong return for Finn Jones’ hero from Marvel Television’s Defenders Saga, following the integration of the Netflix shows into the MCU’s official timeline.

Marvel Comics’ Midnight Sons also includes characters that haven’t yet debuted in the MCU, but have been confirmed for upcoming Multiverse Saga projects. Most prominently, Blade has been a leader of the team since its inception, so his debut in the MCU’s Phase 6 is especially exciting. The Midnight Sons team could also include Ironheart’s Hood, Agatha: Darkhold Diaries’ Jennifer Kale and Deadpool 3’s Wolverine. Several iterations of Ghost Rider have been prominent members of the Midnight Sons since the beginning, so confirmation of the team’s formation could provide assurance that Ghost Rider will also make his highly-anticipated MCU debut.
