New Loki Season 2 Directors Tease Season 1 & Moon Knight Inspiration
Loki season 2 directors Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead reveal how season 1 influenced their MCU directing style. The duo began their career making a variety of well-received indie genre movies, including Resolution, Spring, and The Endless. After helming two episodes of Netflix's Archive 81, they made the leap to Disney+'s huge live-action MCU series with two upcoming episodes of Moon Knight. They have also been attached to direct episodes of Loki season 2, which is coming likely sometime in 2023.
Moon Knight is a six-episode weekly series that began airing today, March 30, 2022. It follows Oscar Isaac as mild-mannered, British shopkeeper Steven Grant, who has dissociative identity disorder and discovers he is an alternate personality of a hardnosed American mercenary named Marc Spector. This all comes to a head as they grapple with their role as the Moon Knight, a nocturnal avenger who is channeling the power of the Egyptian moon god, Khonshu. The series also stars Ethan Hawke, F. Murray Abraham, May Calamawy, Lucy Thackeray, and the late Gaspard Ulliel.
