When Moore recently appeared as a guest on the Crew Call Podcast, the host asked him if Harry Styles’s MCU debut was “just a stunt.” Moore responded, “No, we definitely didn’t cast Harry for a tag. I mean, once more- And a character [that] perhaps I have too much affection for, given that he’s had some troubled publishing runs.
However, there are still more tales to be told involving that individual. He is amazing. He and Thanos have a really fascinating relationship because they are half-brothers and have the same father. His skill set is interesting. He’s a complex guy, but he’s also a lot of fun,” he continued.

“And I think… having met Harry Styles, he is as charming as you want him to be,” Moore continued. And once we get to bring him back, I believe there is no end to how good that character will be.
