Ethan Hawke Was So Nervous First Day On Moon Knight, Says Director
Moon Knight director Mohamed Diab reveals that even Ethan Hawke was nervous on the first day of filming. Diab directed four episodes of the six-episode series, which just premiered on Disney+. Moon Knight is the first Disney+ MCU series to introduce a brand new lead hero. The show stars Oscar Isaac as the titular hero, who is one alter among many belonging to Steven Grant, a mild-mannered British shopkeeper who begins to channel the powers of Egyptian moon god Khonshu.
One of the primary antagonists of the series is Arthur Harrow, played by Ethan Hawke. Harrow is a cult leader who worships the goddess Ammit and encourages the alter Marc Spector, an American mercenary, to embrace the darkness inside him. In the comics, the hyperintelligent character experiences trigeminal neuralgia, which paralyzes the left side of his face, and is best known for conducting cruel scientific experiments on human beings. It is unknown how much these elements will impact the arc for the version of the character portrayed in Moon Knight.
