How to get the Moon Knight Phoenix Knight skin in Marvel Rivals
Image via NetEase Games. The Season 2.5 update alone has featured a lot of hero skins in Marvel Rivals. Be it the premium skins like Ultron X-Tron, Groot Yggroot, Scarlet Witch Immortal Sovereign, or the free skins like Golden Ultron, Mister Fantastic Future Foundation, the recent mid-season refresh has it all. However, this is not the end as Marvel Rivals has recently launched a skin for our favorite MCU superhero, Moon Knight, as well. Along with it, a skin for Iron Fist has also been released as well. Everything you need to know about the Moon Knight Phoenix Knight skin in Marvel Rivals The Moon Knight Phoenix Knight skin has been launched in Marvel Rivals on June 20, 2025 at 2:00 AM UTC. Moon Knight along with Iron Fist marks the fourth set of shop skin after Sunshine Land Shark Jeff the Land Shark, Future Foundation Thing, and many more. Unlike his typical appearance in MCU, the Phoenix Knight skin is quite different. Similar to the Phoenix bird, the whole outfit is themed in flame red and gold. However, this version of Moon Knight might look familiar to the OG Marvel comics fans. In 2018 Avengers #36, in an attempt to obtain all the powers in the universe by the order of Khonsu, Moon Knight acquired Mjolnir and the strength of Iron First to become the Phoenix Force. And the recently released skin reminds us of that version of Moon Knight. Now, how to get this skin? Unlike all the available free skins in Marvel Rivals , you don't need to complete any quests or watch any Twitch streams to redeem this skin. As it's a paid skin, you can directly purchase it from the Store tab in the Main Menu of the game. There you will find the Featured Tab where you should definitely find it and can buy it for 1,400 units. However, if you buy the whole Phoenix Night bundle then you will get the skin as well as an MVP Animation, Emote, Nameplate, and Spray, that too for just 200 Units more.

ALL NEW SKINS IN MARVEL RIVALS ARE CRAZY! Why Do These Skins Matter? Beyond just eye-candy aesthetics, these drops serve as a testament to the celebration of uniquely and creatively character reimagining. Both skins are perfect examples of how Marvel Rivals converges the comic book legacy while infusing their own unique style. They're more than just skins—they're a love letter to fans of design, lore, and competitive play. Whether you're already a heavy-hitting Gold-ranked Iron Fist main, or a Moon Knight loyalist just waiting for an excuse to dust him off, those Binary Fist and Phoenix Knight skins are too sweet to miss. With tight designs, anticipated bang-for-your-buck via Units, and zero lock-in barriers, there's hardly an excuse not to jump in headfirst. Save the date for June 19, and prepare to mobilize in style.

Israel ramps up defenses on Lebanon, Syria fronts amid Iran strikes
Shafaq News/ Israel has launched a major military buildup along its borders with Lebanon and Syria, Israeli media reported on Saturday, as cross-border strikes between Tel Aviv and Tehran escalate. Reserve brigades have been mobilized to the north, with battalions deployed along both frontiers, according to the reports. In the past 24 hours, the Israeli army reportedly activated Division 146 headquarters, along with the Iron Fist and Etzioni reserve brigades, to serve as backup forces for 'various scenarios' on the northern border. The deployments come as Israel presses forward with Operation Rising Lion, a wide-scale offensive launched at dawn Friday that targeted Iranian military installations and nuclear facilities. Iranian state media reported the killing of tens of civilians and senior commanders and extensive damage inside Iranian territory. In retaliation, Iran launched Truthful Promise 3, a coordinated missile and drone campaign that struck several Israeli cities, including Tel Aviv, killing three and injuring over 170.

Marvel's EYES OF WAKANDA Animated Will Feature Iron Fist, But Not The Netflix Version — GeekTyrant
Marvel Studios is bringing back the Iron Fist character, but before you start thinking this could be a 'Finn Jones Redemption Arc', the Iron Fist showing up in the Eyes of Wakanda anmated series isn't that version of the character. During a panel at the Annecy Animation Festival, director Todd Harris dropped the news while talking about his upcoming animated series. When asked about guest appearances, Harris casually revealed: 'There will be an Iron Fist in here, and not the Iron Fist you expect.' So what does that mean? Are we getting an alternate timeline version? A legacy Iron Fist? A new character entirely who picks up the mantle? It's all speculation for now, but Harris made it clear that Eyes of Wakanda isn't about rehashing what we've already seen: 'It was never my goal to make 'another one,' my goal was to make something new.' The series is set to premiere August 6, 2025 on Disney+, and it's shaping up to be something fresh. The show will consist of four 30-minute episodes, each a standalone story set in different time periods. In the series, Wakandan agents venture out into the wider world to retrieve powerful artifacts stolen from their homeland. Harris described the series as 'mostly a spy story,' one that explores how Wakandan operatives interact with the world while trying to reconcile what they experience with their 'nationalist agenda.' According to Variety, the first episode screened at Annecy was well-received, with early reactions pointing to a strong sense of cultural authenticity, something that's often promised, rarely delivered, and hugely appreciated when it lands right. As for Iron Fist's broader MCU future, fans are still holding out hope. With Daredevil: Born Again now confirmed to bring back Krysten Ritter's Jessica Jones in Season 2, it's only natural to wonder if Finn Jones might get another shot too. The actor has made it clear he's more than ready for a comeback. He previously said: 'I'm very aware of the critiques of the character and my role in it. My response to that is, 'Give me a f*cking chance, man. I'm here and I'm ready, and I wanna prove people wrong.'' Personally, I think he had his chance and it just didn't work. The question is, will Eyes of Wakanda pave the way for a new Iron Fist in the MCU's multiversal toybox? Or will it be a one-time cameo with a fresh take? Either way, it sounds like Marvel fans should prepare for surprises.

Marvel Animation debuts first episode of 'Eyes of Wakanda' — and it's got a surprising cameo
Marvel's "Eyes of Wakanda" animated spin-off from the "Black Panther" franchise arrives on Disney Plus in just a few short weeks, but audiences at the Annecy Animation Festival got a special sneak peek of the first episode on Monday. Director Todd Harris introduced the episode, titled 'Into the Lion's Den,' before a Q&A session on June 9. It's the first of four 30-minute-long episodes in the series, which spans Wakanda's 3,000-year-old history to spotlight some of the nation's bravest warriors. Harris, a long-time Marvel Studios storyboard artist who worked on "Black Panther" and its sequel, said the show follows an "anthology" adjacent format." "We have the spark or impetus for the show: someone takes something that doesn't belong to them and like any person or institution, they make a concerted effort to get it back,' Harris told the audience via a Marvel press release. 'Wakanda is a 3,000-year-old society,' he continued. 'They have a very succinct self-identity, and they are preserving that. We get the chance to see the persistence and character of Wakandans. The premise of the show is: What's the kind of culture that builds the Black Panther? You see this even in their generals, their sergeants, everyday citizens.' The show's first episode opens in Crete in 1260 B.C. with a Wakandan general (voiced by Cress Williams) who abandons his post to run a band of pirates. When he steals the nation's top-secret technological treasures to forge his own kingdom, a disgraced former Dora Milaje named Noni (voiced by Winnie Harlow) sets out to bring him to justice. As she braves the seas and brawls her way through the tyrant's henchmen, she uncovers the Hatut Zaraze, a Wakandan secret service tasked with retrieving stolen Vibranium artifacts. "Eyes of Wakanda," which premieres on Disney Plus on August 6, unfolds over different eras as Hatut Zaraze agents track down stolen artifacts throughout history, offering an unprecedented look at Wakanda's history.

'Everybody in Wakanda is like a physicist… you see their patience over centuries to see work, that they will never be able to see get finished but they believe in their mission as a culture, to see this work through," Harris said. "So we kind of hopscotch through time, as we see these people pursue the goals of their country, which is to preserve the secret of their technology and who they are.' Notably, Harris revealed during the Q&A that Marvel characters we know and love will make appearances throughout the show, including Iron Fist, the subject of Netflix's spin-off series of the same name and a member of "The Defenders." The "Iron Fist" show failed to impress fans, with many criticizing how Danny Rand's iteration rarely used his titular powers. Controversy also surrounded the character embodying "white savior" tropes, fueled in part by a white actor being cast in the role of a martial arts superhero. Those problematic elements aside, "Eyes of Wakanda" marks a chance for Marvel to take the backlash to heart. And it seems like Harris has a distinctive vision for the character. "The only thing I can tell you, which is what I was told to be able to tell you, is there will be an Iron Fist in here, and not the Iron Fist you'd expect," Harris said. The character's legacy spans over a century in the comics, making the anthology format an ideal way for the MCU to revive Iron Fist and broaden his on-screen story.
