Unfortunately, I don't think <code>IModuleCommunicator</code> and <code>IModuleListener</code> will work for MVC modules. Those interfaces need to be implemented by the <code>Control</code> that displays the module, but that's created for you under the covers with MVC, so you can't add an implementation.

What are you trying to accomplish via Inter-Module Communication? Can you communicate via the URL's query string, instead?

It would be possible to setup your <code>IModuleCommunicator</code> and <code>IModuleListener</code> instances via reflection (to retrieve the <code>Communicator</code> property on the <code>Skin</code>, since it's <code>internal</code>), and avoid having to implement the interfaces on a <code>Control</code>, but that's going to be less performant and more fragile. If you really need IMC, it's probably simpler to setup your own message bus that you can publish and subscribe to.

Thanks for your quick response. But I can not find an example of how to communicate modules in MVC if you have an example, I would thank you in advance.

@lfpardo: I think Brian was suggesting that you create your own communication feature if you really need this in the MVC modules since that's not a built-in feature.  There are a lot of examples of how to do that out there.  It's not really a DNN-specific thing.  :)
