Moon Knight Alternate Ending Revealed By Director
Moon Knight had an alternate ending planned, according to the director of the final episode of the series, Mohamed Diab. Moon Knight introduces Marc Spector (Oscar Isaac), a man with dissociative identity disorder, to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While Marc and one of his alters, Steven Grant, work to understand each other, they are caught up in a conflict surrounding the ancient Egyptian gods. Specifically, Marc and Steven are tasked with stopping Arthur Harrow (Ethan Hawke) from freeing Ammit, a malicious goddess of judgment, from her imprisonment by the other Egyptian gods.
