Moon Knight Costume Designer Reveals Incredible Jake Lockley Details
Moon Knight costume designer Meghan Kasperlik reveals details regarding Jake Lockley that pay homage to the character and Oscar Isaac’s history. Marvel Studios’ series, which many hope gets a season 2, followed Isaac’s mild-mannered British “gift shoppist," Steven Grant as he became aware of his Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) and alter in Marc Spector. Marc is a mercenary who made a life-saving pact with the moon god Khonshu. Throughout its six-episode season 1, Moon Knight did an astute and creative job of foreshadowing the arrival of a third personality.
In the pages of Marvel Comics, Marc serves as Moon Knight’s primary character with two alters: Steven and Jake Lockley. Lockley is a cab driver attuned to the criminal underworld (among other things). While comic book fans suspected Jake’s arrival in Moon Knight as it was repeatedly teased, the series didn’t introduce Jake to audiences until the finale’s post-credits scene. Following Marc and Steven’s denouncement of Khonshu, Arthur Harrow was thrown into a limo (with a license plate reading SPKTR), where the moon god revealed his new avatar is his flat-capped and violent driver, Jake. The scene ended as Jake executed Harrow and drove away. Despite being on screen for only 10 seconds, Jake’s appearance in Moon Knight is imbued with some impressive details.
