Since Moon Knight's place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe remains rather vague, any hint at a possible connection between him and other MCU characters can cause waves.

A picture of Willem Dafoe, Oscar Isaac, and Ethan Hawke clearly enjoying their time together resurfaced on the web, prompting buzz among Marvel stans, and, of course, various fan theories. Does this mean that Dafoe is going to have a cameo in 'Moon Knight '? Should we expect Green Goblin back?

In fact, the image is not new: it was posted in 2021, and, moreover, it looks like it had nothing to do with 'Moon Knight' whatsoever. But does this stop fans from rolling out theories? Never.

And if they need a comic book panel to prove their suggestions, they'll find it.

Back in 2021, many people suggested that Dafoe could be the voice behind Khonshu, and now people seem to lowkey hope for the Green Goblin to actually have a stand-off with Marc Spector.

Because…

Sorry to disappoint, but the photo in question was made when Isaac and Dafoe starred together in 'The Card Counter' by director Paul Schrader. In the photo, the two, joined by Ethan Hawke (who also starred in another film by Schrader, ' First Reformed'), are seen flipping off the camera. Back at the time, Schrader even reposted the picture on his Facebook, jokingly captioning it "Here's what my stars think of me."
