Moon Knight BTS Video Breaks Down Oscar Isaac's Marc & Steven Scenes
A new behind-the-scenes video from Marvel's Moon Knight offers an in-depth breakdown of how the show's Steven and Marc scenes were created. As Marvel continue to expand their lineup of MCU adjacent TV series, Moon Knight is the studio's most recent addition, having released on Disney+ back in March.

Both Steven and Marc are two alters within a Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) system, with the show often seeing the pair interact with one another through reflective surfaces. The show's later episodes, however, saw Steven and Marc come face to face as they sought to balance the scales that would determine their entry into the field of reeds, with Isaac acting opposite himself to capture these scenes.
