An exciting rumor about a potential Midnight Sons MCU movie has come to light.

In Marvel Comics, the Midnight Sons are a team of supernatural superheroes that join together to fight various threats. The team’s roster initially included characters such as Blade, Morbius, Ghost Riders Danny Ketch and Johnny Blaze, and more, though the team has been revised multiple times with different members.

There have been rumors that a Midnight Sons movie was in the works at Marvel Studios for a while, now, though it has yet to be officially confirmed by the company. However, with Sacha Baron Cohen’s recent MCU debut as Mephisto in Ironheart, the project may now be moving forward.

According to Alex Perez of The Cosmic Circus, Marvel is planning on adapting Donny Cates and Nick Spencer’s Damnation limited series. In the story, Mephisto takes over Las Vegas to create Hell on Earth. To do this, he turns the Avengers into Ghost Rider-like figures, thus forcing Wong to assemble the Midnight Sons so they can fight back.

“Mephisto has certainly been busy behind the scenes for many years in the MCU,” Perez wrote. “The idea being that those who have met and made a deal with him for any particular reason will one day be forced to serve him when he calls upon their souls and transforms them into demonic versions of themselves. This will affect some known characters in the MCU, such as The Hood and Ironheart, and others we don’t necessarily know yet.

“While there will not be a 1:1 direct adaptation of the story in the MCU, it will be heavily influenced by those events. Mephisto will seek to conquer the Earth and establish dominion over Hell itself. This explains his current status in Ironheart, and it’s something that should be elaborated on by the time we get to the Blade movie, which is still under development, but sources have pointed towards that movie’s villain, Lilith, as one of the potential rivals to Mephisto by the time the events of Damnation come to pass. The whole purpose is to eventually explore a story set within the supernatural setting of the MCU, with the Damnation storyline culminating in what will be a Midnight Sons movie.”

This is all a rumor at this time and, should it be true, likely will still be a ways away, as Marvel seemingly plans to focus on the X-Men’s mutants for a while after the events of Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.
