Kevin Feige Has Been Wanting To Make Moon Knight For A Very Long Time
Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige says he’s been wanting to make Moon Knight for a very long time. The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s next live-action Disney+ series to be released as part of Phase Four, Moon Knight, is set to premiere on March 30. The six-episode limited series was first announced in 2019. Following months of casting rumors, Oscar Isaac was confirmed to star in 2020.
Isaac stars as Moon Knight’s titular vigilante, who inherits powers from the Egyptian moon god Khonshu. The series’ trailers have introduced Steven Grant, a mild-mannered gift shop employee unaware of his dissociative identity disorder and, in turn, his alternate personas including the mercenary Marc Spector and/or Moon Knight. In addition to Isaac, the cast includes Ethan Hawke as cult leader Arthur Harrow, Lucy Thackeray, May Calamawy, and the late Gaspard Ulliel as Anton Mogart/Midnight Man. Jeremy Slater leads Moon Knight as showrunner and Egyptian filmmaker Mohamed Diab heads the series’ directorial team, consisting of Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead.
