She’s not in the ride apparently. Could be prohibited or just a gray area and they are being cautious.

Where do the Dr Strange park rights lie?

Moon Knight was a member of the West Coast Avengers in 1987. I'm very surprised to see this type of advertising in Orlando.

Past shows like Wandavision, Hawkeye, Loki , etc did not have any in park marketing to my knowledge. Most of the MCU films didn’t receive this either.
Most os the time those films get bus wraps and billboards outside the park or in the parking lots as those are fine. Moon Knight being inside the parks via billboards is a green light. I imagine the upcoming Ms Marvel will have the same opportunity albeit harder to market as the word Marvel can’t be used. Or at the very least Kamala Khan may be able to be squeezed in her costume everything but the name.

Yeah I actually thought Moon Knight would more likely not be allowed. But that is a good sign.
Curious about Shang Chi. Feel like he would almost certainly be fine to use in WDW (especially if Strange is allowed).
Dr Strange/Shang-Chi/Moon Knight would be a great base for a proper land in DHS. Something like a Dr Strange dark ride (something like Mystic Manor or more aggressive like Uni Spider-Man), a Moon Knight roller coaster and then a martial arts stunt show for Shang-Chi. Could toss in Eternals or even maybe Fury/SHIELD references to round things out as needed.
Separate thought: what about doing an Egypt based land using Moon Knight and also Indiana Jones? IJ certainly delves into the mystical and supernatural so it’s not a bad fit though it’s mixing franchises.

Insteand of an Avengers Campus call it Mystic Campus thanks to all the magic aspects, and throw in Eternals instead of Fury/Shield as fluff and I think it’s rather solid tbh.

So you'd move Star Tours away from a land that was built long after it's existence.....to the other side of the park? Talk about being in the wrong place.
Where did I say I'd move Star Tours? It makes no sense to have a Star Wars ride not located in Galaxy's Edge.
I said update the simulators to another IP--there are plenty of other IPs they can put in a "movie-themed" ride: Dr Strange, Encanto, Coco, even Mary Poppins (since the Epcot plan bit the dust).
There's a big enough footprint holding F! to put one E ride or two B/C rides. Imagine a re-imagined 20K ride using technology like Shanghai Pirates...

Fantasmic isn’t going anywhere. Animation Courtyard is also a huge foot print, as well as the area that McQueens show sits, could fit another attraction or two.
The like is for repurposing Animation Courtyard and the Lightning McQueen show.
Not for F! sticking around...
Avengers rights must only account for “main” Avengers or maybe main Avengers books.
It seems like Marvel is building towards the Midnight Sons becoming a team in the MCU. So a ride based off of that would make a lot of sense.
The Midnight Sons in the MCU is shaping up to be Moon Knight, Blade, Werewolf by Night, Elsa Bloodstone, maybe Ghost Rider & maybe Daredevil.

To each their own, but my family absolutely loves Fantasmic! and would be sad if it were gone. Hopefully there are some updates when it reopens but it’s one of the strongest nighttime shows Disney has ever done.
That said my biggest complaint is having that large theater without any use during the day. They should do some sort of smaller scale show during the day to use it. I get the midday heat being a factor so multiple show shows is probably better than a larger scale one in daylight.

Speculation would be that T'Challa is off limits, but Wakanda and all other characters would be fair game. It's sad to say because of how great Chadwick Boseman was in that role, but his passing conceivably gives Disney an out here where they can build Wakanda without T'Challa.

If Moon Knight appears on an in-park billboard, it's safe to assume he's fair game. There was an issue with the monorail that had the Avengers wrap being allowed in EPCOT. That monorail only ran on the MK line where it never crossed the boundaries of being in the park.

They could run cavalcades around the moat and people would sit there all day
Unless I’m mistaken, Shang Chi and Eternals both had posters in Animation Courtyard. Eternals even had a sneak peek in Walt Disney Presents, correct?
I don’t think The Eternals will have much park presence.
I honestly doubt they even get a sequel now lol. Their stories might continue as side characters in other characters’ movies.

Another interesting character would be if Black Knight were possible for WDW but I’d guess no since he’s more tied up with Avengers mythos (including the original villain being an early antagonist of the group)
I’d be surprised if he wasn’t tied into the Avengers rights. He’s a classic member of the team.
Random thought, but I wonder if there’s any way that Universal would be willing to trade X-Men for an extension on the Simpsons rights.
X-Men has the most forgettable ride at Superhero Island. All they’d have to do is remove (or even retheme) the Storm ride, take down some billboards & retire the X-Men meet & greets. That sounds easier than replacing two rides & several restaurants.
