Ethan Hawke Shares His Daughter's Advice For Interacting With Marvel Fans
New Marvel star Ethan Hawke reveals the valuable advice he got from his daughter Maya about interacting with the MCU's passionate fans. After years of resisting comic book fare, Hawke has officially boarded the MCU with its latest Disney+ series,Moon Knight. He plays Arthur Harrow, a cult leader who serves the Egyptian goddess Ammit.

Harrow is initially shown putting broken glass in his shoes; the idea came from Hawke himself.
