Is Moon Knight Canon to the MCU?

It has been confirmed by none other than the big boss of marvel, Kevin Feige, that Moon Knight will be canon to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and that they have plans for the titular hero to be part of the big screens in the future where he could be with the other heroes that the franchise has already introduced.

Fitting in the fourth phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Moon Knight gets along with the other characters that recently debuted or will just make their first appearance in the franchise which means that he is among the newcomers. MCU’s Phase Four deals with either passing the baton, the aftermath of the events of the previous phases, or introducing new faces that will shape the future of the franchise.
