Moon Knight’s Oscar Isaac shares the advice Robert Downey Jr. gave him on joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Since first appearing as Tony Stark in 2008’s Iron Man, Downey has become the unofficial godfather of the MCU. Downey retired his character in Avengers: Endgame, paving the way for new heroes to make their mark in the MCU’s Phase 4. Moon Knight premiered on Disney+ on March 30 and introduces Isaac as one of those heroes — or, rather, anti-heroes.

Unfamiliar with Marvel Studios’ process, Isaac asked the MCU’s Tony Stark for advice.
