The Marvel Cinematic Universe has opened up yet another part of the world with the studio's latest offering, Moon Knight, starring Oscar Isaac as the titular character. Now streaming on Disney+, the series also stars British-Egyptian actress May Calamawy as Layla El-Faouly, a woman with an important connection to one of the hero's alter egos. While the first episode premiered last week, Calamawy's character will get a more in-depth introduction in tomorrow's episode, as audiences learn more about who Steven Grant and Marc Spector (two of the characters Isaac plays) are.
Screen Rant spoke with Calamawy to discuss how it felt to join the MCU through Moon Knight, how good of a secret keeper she is, and what her goals were when portraying Layla.

Screen Rant: Congratulations on joining the Marvel Universe. It's got to feel incredible.
May Calamawy: It's so fun. I keep trying to just sit in the moment of it and enjoy it. I have so much respect for what's been done, and to just even be part of it… I don't think it's hit me fully.
How are you at keeping secrets? Are you more of a Tom Holland, or are you more of a Kevin Feige? Where are you on the scale?
May Calamawy: I think I'm pretty good.
I told my 5-year-old nephew [some things]. He's a huge Marvel fan. He asked me some stuff about the show, and I told him. Then he went and told my brother, and my brother was really annoyed at me. I was like, «Why did I expect so much from a 5-year-old?» After that, I was like, «It's just more fun.» It's because I know it's in service of the other person not to know that it's easy to keep it.
