Marvel Cinematic Universe television series

Moon Knight is an upcoming American television miniseries created by Jeremy Slater for the streaming service Disney+, based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name. It is intended to be the sixth television series in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) produced by Marvel Studios, sharing continuity with the films of the franchise. Slater serves as head writer with Mohamed Diab leading the directing team.

Oscar Isaac stars as Marc Spector / Moon Knight, a mercenary who suffers from dissociative identity disorder, with Ethan Hawke and May Calamawy also starring. The series was announced in August 2019, with Slater hired in November. Diab was hired to direct four episodes in October 2020, with directing duo Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead joining in January 2021 to direct the other two. Isaac was confirmed to star at that time, and used different accents to differentiate Spector's various identities. Filming took place from April to October 2021, primarily in Budapest as well as in Jordan and Atlanta, Georgia.

Moon Knight is scheduled to premiere on April 30, 2022, and will run for six episodes until May 4. It will be part of Phase Four of the MCU.

Premise

Marc Spector, a mercenary who suffers from dissociative identity disorder, is drawn into a deadly mystery involving Egyptian gods with his multiple identities, such as Steven Grant.[1]

Cast and characters

  • Oscar Isaac as Marc Spector / Moon Knight:
    A Jewish-American mercenary with dissociative identity disorder (DID) who becomes the conduit for the Egyptian moon god Khonshu.[1][2] Isaac "leaned into this Chicago guy who's pushing people away" for his portrayal of Spector, calling him a jerk,[2] while executive producer Kevin Feige described Spector as a "brutal" action hero[3][4] and said the series would not pull back from portraying the violence of the character.[4] Each of Spector's identities from his DID are distinct characters,[5] and were differentiated in the script by their attitudes. Isaac chose to take this further by giving them different accents.[6] Isaac enjoyed being able to do "something really fucking nutty" with his portrayal, including exploring Spector's complex mind. He added that embodying each of the various personas was a technical challenge for him and required a lot of energy.[7] The identities in the series include Steven Grant, a mild-mannered British gift-shop employee suffering from blackouts and memories of another life,[1] and Mr. Knight, a street-level detective personality who wears a suit.[8] Isaac used his own American accent for Spector, and put on a British accent for Grant that he suggested was intentionally "bizarre" and unconvincing.[6] He added that Grant "doesn't have great social skills and says the wrong things at all the wrong times and is completely sincere", who is "longing for connection". Grant has tension with Spector when the two personalities first become aware of each other.[2]
  • Ethan Hawke as Arthur Harrow:
    A religious zealot and cult leader associated with the god Ammit who sees Moon Knight as an obstacle to him "healing the world",[9][10]: 54 [2] and who encourages Spector to embrace his inner darkness.[11] Hawke was inspired for his performance by cult leader David Koresh,[12] psychiatrist Carl Jung,[13] Cuban revolutionary Fidel Castro, the Dalai Lama, writer Leo Tolstoy, Pentecostal televangelist Jimmy Swaggart, and Nazi officer and doctor Josef Mengele, as well as questioning if Apple Inc. co-founder Steve Jobs was a "bad guy".[4]
  • May Calamawy as Layla El-Faouly: A woman from Spector's past.[9]

Additionally, Gaspard Ulliel portrays Anton Mogart / Midnight Man,[14] Lucy Thackeray portrays Donna, Grant's co-worker,[15] and F. Murray Abraham voices the Egyptian moon god Khonshu,[16] an "imperious and sort of snotty and vengeful" deity, according to creator Jeremy Slater, who is prone to temper tantrums and is dealing with his own insecurities.[2] Ann Akinjirin, David Ganly, Saffron Hocking, Sofia Asir, Antonia Salib, Ahmed Dash, Hazem Ehab, Amr Al-Qadi, Zizi Dagher, and Karim El-Hakim have been cast in undisclosed roles.[17][18]

Development

The character Marc Spector / Moon Knight was to be introduced in the planned second season of Blade: The Series before its cancelation in September 2006. A potential spin-off series for the character had also been in development.[22] In October, Marvel Studios partnered with No Equal Entertainment to produce a separate television series featuring Moon Knight.[23] Writer Jon Cooksey was hired to develop the series by 2008, but it did not move forward.[24] James Gunn, the writer and director of Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy films, said in January 2017 that he had pitched a Moon Knight film to Marvel but did not have time to work on it.[25] Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige confirmed in April 2018 that Moon Knight would be introduced to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), but questioned, "Does that mean five years from now, 10 years from now, 15 years from now?"[26]

In August 2019, Marvel Studios announced at the D23 conference that a series based on Moon Knight was being developed for the streaming service Disney+.[27] That November, Jeremy Slater was hired to serve as the head writer and executive producer.[1][28] Mohamed Diab was set to direct four episodes of the series in October 2020,[29][30] as well as executive produce. Marvel had approached him "out of the blue" to present a pitch for the series, which Diab worked on with his writer-producer wife Sarah Goher. Diab believed the series would be "hard, serious and about big topics" like many of his feature films.[29] Director duo Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead joined in January 2021 to direct the other two episodes.[31][29] Marvel Studios' Feige, Louis D'Esposito, Victoria Alonso, and Brad Winderbaum also serve as executive producers along with star Oscar Isaac and Grant Curtis.[32] The series consists of six 40–50 minute episodes.[33] In February 2021, Feige said some of Marvel's series, including Moon Knight and She-Hulk, were being developed with the potential to have additional seasons made, in contrast to series like WandaVision (2021), which were developed as limited events that lead into feature films instead.[34] A year later, Isaac referred to Moon Knight as a limited series.[35][4]

Writing

Michael Kastelein, Beau DeMayo, Peter Cameron, Sabir Pirzada, Alex Meenehan, Rebecca Kirsch, Matthew Orton, and Danielle Iman serve as writers on the series,[20] with an archeologist specializing in Egyptian tombs consulting with the writers.[9] Feige likened the series to the Indiana Jones franchise while exploring Egyptology,[5] two aspects that were a large part of Slater's pitch given that he wanted to tell a "dark, complex story" mixed with "big, fun, supernatural, Amblin-style magic".[9] Feige said there was a clear difference in tone between Moon Knight and the other Marvel Studios Disney+ series released at that point, adding that the studio worked with Disney+ to push the boundaries on how much of Moon Knight's brutality they could present in the series.[4] Feige also said Spector's mental illness was a unique aspect of the series,[3] which primarily focuses on his psychological trauma.[10]: 54  The series was believed to be drawing on the character's more modern interpretations in the comics regarding Spector's dissociative identity disorder (DID), in which Spector loses a sense of time when he switches between his various personalities.[36] Jeff Lemire and Greg Smallwood's run in the comics served as inspiration.[9] Executive producer Grant Curtis noted the series explored identity and "finding one's true self", adding that Spector would look to "reconcile portions of [his] past, present and potential future that [he doesn't] necessarily agree with". Isaac believed the series would be "experiential" for viewers to connect with "the psychological horror of not knowing what's happening and the slow revelations of the truth" that came with portraying the character's DID. Slater added that the creatives took the series' representation of mental health seriously, researching the illness and aiming for Moon Knight to have a positive portrayal and message regarding mental health.[2]

Slater said the series would not heavily feature the aspects of Moon Knight in the comics where he was a playboy philanthropist, since that version of the character had been compared to the DC Comics character Batman which was not a comparison that Slater wanted to make.[37] Slater added that exploring the character's mental health allowed him to be more than "a palette-swapped Batman clone", adding Moon Knight was "his own greatest enemy in a lot of ways".[2] Isaac believed Moon Knight was the "first legitimate Marvel character-study" since Iron Man (2008).[7]

Casting

In October 2020, Oscar Isaac entered negotiations for the lead role of Marc Spector,[38] and was said to have been cast in January 2021;[31][39] Marvel Studios officially confirmed the casting that May.[40] Richard Newby of The Hollywood Reporter felt Isaac's recent major acting roles could draw audiences unfamiliar with the character to the series, and that his Latino ethnicity could allow an examination of faith from different perspectives, rather than having the character be depicted as a Caucasian Jewish man like in the comics.[41] In January 2021, May Calamawy was cast in the "key role" of Layla El-Faouly,[42][9] and Ethan Hawke was cast as Arthur Harrow, the series' main villain.[43][44] Though there is a character named Arthur Harrow in the comics, Hawke explained that the version in Moon Knight is mostly an original creation,[10]: 54  believed to be an amalgamation with other Moon Knight characters such as the Sun King[36][45][46] and Morning Star.[10]: 54  Hawke said he joined the series based on where he felt he was in his acting career and due to the involvement of Isaac and Diab. He enjoyed the creative freedom that came with the series telling a lesser-known story.[47] Gaspard Ulliel joined the cast by July 2021 as Anton Mogart / Midnight Man,[14][48] in one of his last roles before his death in January 2022.[14] Lucy Thackeray was revealed to be portraying Donna in the series' trailer, released in January 2022,[15] and F. Murray Abraham was revealed to be voicing Khonshu the next month.[16] In March 2022, Ann Akinjirin, David Ganly, Saffron Hocking, Sofia Asir, Antonia Salib, Ahmed Dash, Hazem Ehab, Amr Al-Qadi, Zizi Dagher, and Karim El-Hakim were revealed to appear in the series in undisclosed roles.[17][18]

Design

Stefania Cella serves as the production designer,[49] with Meghan Kasperlik as the costume designer.[50] Moon Knight's costume consists of armor and Ancient Egyptian bandages, with hieroglyphic-like symbols on his cape.[4][2]

Filming

Filming was expected to begin in March 2021,[51][52] and began by the end of April in Hungary,[53] with Diab and Benson and Moorhead directing.[30][31] The series was filmed under the working title Good Faith,[54][55] with Gregory Middleton serving as cinematographer for Diab and Andrew Droz Palermo as the cinematographer for Benson and Moorhead.[39][56] It was previously expected to begin filming on November 16, 2020, to last for 26 weeks, but this was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[52][55] Filming occurred at the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest in April,[53] and in Szentendre at the beginning of May.[57] In early June, outdoor night scenes were filmed at Madách Square in Budapest.[58] Filming occurred for one week in Wadi Rum, Jordan, and concluded in Budapest and Jordan by the beginning of October,[29][59] at which point the series moved to Atlanta, Georgia to conclude production.[29] It had wrapped by October 14.[60] Additional photography was completed by mid-November.[61] Isaac said filming the series felt "handmade",[7] with Diab bringing an Arabic authenticity to the series such as including the correct text of a prayer over a shop.[10]: 54 

Post-production

Ahmed Hafez serves as an editor on the series for the third and fourth episodes.[62]

Music

Egyptian composer Hesham Nazih had written music for the series by early March 2022 in his first major English language project. His music was believed to be a major part of the series, but it was not confirmed if Nazih would be composing the full score for all six episodes.[63] Later that month, Diab confirmed that Nazih was composing the score for all six episodes.[18]

Marketing

The first footage of the series debuted on Disney+ Day on November 12, 2021.[64][65] A trailer was then released on January 17, 2022, during the 2021–22 NFL playoffs,[66] with James Whitbrook at Gizmodo noting that it gave a full look at the character following the brief Disney+ Day footage. He said the costume was faithful to the comic book version, "albeit more textured-looking".[66] Richard Newby at The Hollywood Reporter felt the trailer was "relish[ing]" in the general audience's lack of knowledge about the character by maintaining a sense of mystery. He felt the series looked like it would be one of the darkest and most original projects from Marvel Studios,[36] which was echoed by his colleagues Aaron Couch and Borys Kit, who said the trailer suggested "something unlike any other Marvel show".[67] Isaac's British accent for the Steven Grant identity received mixed responses from viewers, and Isaac himself made fun of it in a video where he and Hawke reacted to the trailer. Isaac later said the accent was intentionally unconvincing.[6] The trailer was viewed over 75 million times in 24 hours, which was better than trailers for Marvel Studios' other Disney+ series, except The Falcon and the Winter Soldier's Super Bowl LV trailer which had 125 million views. Additionally, its social engagement of 263,000 mentions were the highest of any Disney+ Marvel series for their first content release.[67]

An additional trailer aired during Super Bowl LVI on February 13,[68] which continued to keep the series mysterious while depicting its "darker sensibilities", according to Screen Rant's Rachel Labonte.[69] Ben F. Silverio of /Film said the shots of Moon Knight's cape "flung out into the shape of a crescent moon" and the character catching his moon-shaped weapons were the "coolest".[70] RelishMix reported the trailer had 9.49 million views in 24 hours across Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram.[71]

Release

Moon Knight is scheduled to debut on Disney+ on March 30, 2022,[11] and will run for six episodes,[33] concluding on May 4.[21] A special screening occurred on March 16 in Madrid at Cine Capitol,[72] and another on March 17 at the British Museum in London.[17] It will be part of Phase Four of the MCU.[73]

Future

In November 2019, Feige stated that after introducing Moon Knight in the series, the character will cross over to the MCU films.[74]
