Marvel Cinematic Universe television series

Moon Knight is an American superhero television miniseries created by Jeremy Slater for the streaming service Disney+, based on the Marvel Comics featuring the character of the same name. It is 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 has dissociative identity disorder, with May Calamawy, Karim El-Hakim, F. Murray Abraham, and Ethan Hawke 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, Slovenia, and Atlanta, Georgia.

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

Premise

Marc Spector, a mercenary who has 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 and Steven Grant / Mr. Knight:
    Marc Spector is 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] He enjoyed being able to do "something really fucking nutty" with his portrayal, including exploring Spector's complex mind, and embodying each of the various personas was a technical challenge for him that required a lot of energy.[7] Isaac acted against his brother, Michael Benjamin Hernandez, for scenes where multiple identities meet.[8] The identities in the series include Steven Grant, a mild-mannered British gift-shop employee suffering from blackouts and memories of another life,[1] who becomes Mr. Knight, Grant's persona when he is Khonshu's avatar.[9]: 6–7  Isaac used his own American accent for Spector, and put on a London English accent for Grant that he suggested was intentionally "bizarre" and unconvincing.[6] He was inspired by the accents of the Jewish community living in Enfield, London, as well as English comedic performers such as actor Karl Pilkington from the British travel comedy series An Idiot Abroad.[10] Isaac added that Grant does not have great social skills and is "longing for connection". Grant has tension with Spector when the two personalities first become aware of each other.[2] Mr. Knight uses Grant's knowledge of ancient Egypt to help get out of conflicts with wits and puzzle solving, which is a contrast's to Spector's Moon Knight persona.[9]: 7 
  • May Calamawy as Layla El-Faouly: An archeologist and adventurer from Spector's past.[11][12]
  • Karim El Hakim and F. Murray Abraham as Khonshu:
    The Egyptian moon god, an outcast amongst the gods for waging a "one-god war on perceived injustices", thus necessitating him to find and use his avatar, Marc Spector.[9]: 7  Creator Jeremy Slater called him an "imperious and sort of snotty and vengeful" deity, who is prone to temper tantrums and is dealing with his own insecurities.[2] El-Hakim provided the on-set performance of the character,[9]: 7  while Abraham voices the character.[13]
  • Ethan Hawke as Arthur Harrow:
    A religious zealot and cult leader associated with the goddess Ammit who sees Moon Knight as an obstacle to him "healing the world",[11][14]: 54 [2] and who encourages Spector to embrace his inner darkness.[15] Hawke worked in tandem with Isaac to conceive Harrow as an opposite to Spector, wanting to perform inverse actions or emotions to him,[16]: 1:48–2:28  and saw Harrow as a mix between a monk and a doctor.[16]: 2:29–2:36  He was inspired for his performance by cult leader David Koresh,[17] psychiatrist Carl Jung,[18] Cuban revolutionary Fidel Castro, the Dalai Lama, writer Leo Tolstoy, Pentecostal televangelist Jimmy Swaggart, Nazi officer and doctor Josef Mengele,[4] and the One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) character Nurse Ratched,[16]: 3:03  as well as questioning if Apple Inc. co-founder Steve Jobs was a "bad guy".[4]

Additionally, Lucy Thackeray and Saffron Hocking portray Grant's co-workers Donna and Dylan, respectively,[19][20] Shaun Scott portrays living statue Crawley,[21] Gaspard Ulliel portrays antiquities collector Anton Mogart / Midnight Man,[22][23] Antonia Salib portrays the Egyptian goddess Taweret,[24] Rey Lucas portrays Marc's father Elias Spector,[25] Ann Akinjirin portrays Bobby, David Ganly portrays Billy, and Fernanda Andrade portrays Marc's mother Wendy Spector.[26] Sofia Asir,[27] Ahmed Dash, Hazem Ehab, Amr Al-Qadi, Zizi Dagher,[28] Sofia Danu, and Díana Bermudez have been cast in undisclosed roles.[29]

Production

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.[33] In October, Marvel Studios partnered with No Equal Entertainment to produce a separate television series featuring Moon Knight.[34] Writer Jon Cooksey was hired to develop the series by 2008, but it did not move forward.[35] 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.[36] 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?"[37]

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+.[38] That November, Jeremy Slater was hired to serve as the head writer and executive producer of the series,[1][39] which consists of six 40–50 minute episodes.[40] Egyptian director Mohamed Diab was set to direct four episodes in October 2020,[41][42] as well as executive produce the series. Marvel had approached him "out of the blue" to present a pitch for Moon Knight,[41] which includes Egyptian mythology and characters that the superhero is associated with in the comics. Diab and his writer-producer wife Sarah Goher put together a 200-page document outlining their vision for the series, which included their intention to depict Egypt and Egyptian people in a more positive way than they felt had been done in previous Hollywood productions. Diab elaborated that American films and series often used Orientalist stereotypes such as portraying Egyptian people as exotic "guides and desert wanderers" or ignoring the fact that the Giza pyramids are beside a modern city. He wanted to portray Egyptians as "normal human beings" and Egypt as a "normal place" like modern America, while also hiring other Egyptian crewmembers to work on the series.[43] He added that the series would be "hard, serious and about big topics" like many of his previous feature films.[41] In January 2021, director duo Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead joined the series to direct the other two episodes,[41][44] working alongside Diab to ensure a consistent approach to the series.[45] Marvel Studios' Feige, Louis D'Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Brad Winderbaum, and Grant Curtis also serve as executive producers along with star Oscar Isaac.[46]

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.[47] A year later, Isaac referred to Moon Knight as a limited series,[4][48] while Diab was unsure whether the series would continue.[49]

Writing

Michael Kastelein, Beau DeMayo, Peter Cameron, Sabir Pirzada, Alex Meenehan, Rebecca Kirsch, Matthew Orton, and Danielle Iman serve as writers on the series,[31] with an archeologist specializing in Egyptian tombs consulting with the writers.[11] 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".[11] Slater said he wanted the series to have a similar tone to Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) and Ghostbusters (1984), and bring some horror aspects and monsters to the MCU. He wanted to push the limits with how dark a Marvel series could be, which Feige and Marvel Studios were supportive of.[50] 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 said Spector's mental illness was a unique aspect of the series,[3] which primarily focuses on his psychological trauma.[14]: 54  Dr. Paul Puri, a board-certified psychiatrist and an assistant clinical professor at UCLA, served as a consultant for the series regarding its depictions of mental illness.[9]: 5  The series draws 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.[51][52] Jeff Lemire and Greg Smallwood's run in the comics served as inspiration.[11] 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' depiction of mental health seriously, researching the disorder and aiming for Moon Knight to have a positive portrayal and message regarding mental health.[2] He 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 likened to the DC Comics character Batman which was not a comparison that Slater wanted to make.[53] Slater added that exploring Spector's mental health allowed the character to be more than "a palette-swapped Batman clone", adding that 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] with Curtis adding that Spector was like Stark for Marvel Studios in that he could be "built from the ground up".[9]: 2 

The series has supernatural elements inspired from the comics with the inclusion of various Egyptian gods and having Khonshu manipulate Spector, drawing on their relationship from the comics including "all its toxicity".[9]: 2, 7  Though the series is set in 2025 in present day MCU,[9]: 3 [54][better source needed] Curtis noted there were "no attachments" to other parts of the MCU.[9]: 2 

Casting

In October 2020, Oscar Isaac entered negotiations for the lead role of Marc Spector,[55] and was said to have been cast in January 2021;[44][56] Marvel Studios officially confirmed the casting that May.[57] 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.[58] Isaac later confirmed that Spector would be portrayed as Jewish-American in the series.[2] In January 2021, May Calamawy was cast in the "key role" of Layla El-Faouly,[11][59] and Ethan Hawke was cast as Arthur Harrow, the series' main villain.[60][61] Isaac had initially approached Hawke about joining the series, and Diab asked Hawke not to read the scripts before signing on because he wanted to develop the character with the actor. Diab was thankful that Hawke trusted him and Isaac enough to join them without seeing the scripts, which Hawke said he had not done in 35 years.[49] He explained that he joined the series because of Isaac, Diab, and where he felt he was in his acting career, and he enjoyed the creative freedom that came with the series telling a lesser-known story.[62] Though there is a minor character named Arthur Harrow in the comics, Hawke said the series' version was mostly an original creation,[14]: 54  believed to include elements of other Moon Knight characters such as the Sun King[51][63][64] and Morning Star.[14]: 54 

Gaspard Ulliel joined the cast by July 2021 as Anton Mogart / Midnight Man,[22][65] in one of his last roles before his death in January 2022.[22] Lucy Thackeray was revealed to be portraying Donna in the series' trailer, released in January 2022,[19] and F. Murray Abraham was revealed to be voicing Khonshu the next month,[13] Karim El-Hakim providing the on-set performance of the character.[9]: 7  Additional castings were revealed ahead of the series' premiere in March, including Antonia Salib as the Egyptian goddess Taweret,[24] Rey Lucas as Marc's father Elias Spector,[25] Ann Akinjirin as Bobby, David Ganly as Billy, Fernanda Andrade as Wendy Spector, Marc's mother,[26] Saffron Hocking as Dylan,[20] and Shaun Scott as Crawley.[21] Sofia Asir,[27] Ahmed Dash, Hazem Ehab, Amr Al-Qadi, Zizi Dagher,[28] Sofia Danu, and Díana Bermudez were also revealed to appear in the series in undisclosed roles.[29]

Design

Stefania Cella serves as the production designer,[9]: 8  working with Egyptologists and an Egyptian supervising art director to ensure historical accuracy in her sets. She meticulously worked on the smaller details to bring a realism to the sets. Her Chamber of the Gods set was three-stories tall and decorated with yellow hieroglyphs related to divinity, with the Burial Chamber set also featuring hieroglyphs and water and reflective surfaces to represent the series's themes of duality and identity.[9]: 9–10  Grant's attic apartment was constructed to resemble the pyramids, while Harrow's residence was made to be commune-style in the Spitalfields/dockyard part of London. The Mogart’s Mansion set included two Louvre-inspired glass pyramids that were built for filming.[9]: 9–10 

Meghan Kasperlik serves as the costume designer.[66] Grant's costumes were meant to evoke the "coolness" of Brixton but with some elements "off", while Spector has a "desert look with a tactical, utilitarian and lighter costume". He also has a hoodie and vest with multiple functions which was foreshadowing for Moon Knight's cape effect.[9]: 11  Moon Knight's costume consists of armor and Ancient Egyptian bandages, with hieroglyphic-like symbols on his cape.[4][2][9]: 12  For Mr. Knight, Kasperlik created a three-piece suit based on his design in the comics, with various homages to Khonshu in the design. She added designed sneakers to modernize the look. Arthur Harrow's costumes are "monk-like" inspired by real-life cult leaders, while El-Faouly has a more athletic look with Cairo and London influences.[9]: 12 

Filming

Filming was expected to begin in March 2021,[67][68] and was confirmed to be underway by the end of April in Hungary.[69] The series was filmed under the working title Good Faith,[70][71] with Diab directing four episodes and Benson and Moorhead directing the other two.[30] Gregory Middleton was the cinematographer for Diab and Andrew Droz Palermo served the role for Benson and Moorhead.[56][9]: 24–25  Soundstage work occurred at Origo Studios in Budapest.[9]: 8  The series 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.[68][71] Filming occurred at the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest in April,[69] which served as exteriors for London's National Gallery,[9]: 10  and in Szentendre at the beginning of May.[72] In early June, outdoor night scenes were filmed at Madách Square in Budapest.[73] Various exterior locations in Budapest were found to stand-in for London, particularly the Brixton and Soho areas.[9]: 10–11 

Filming also occurred in Slovenia,[74] for one week in Wadi Rum, Jordan, and concluded in Budapest and Jordan by the beginning of October,[41][75] at which point production moved to Atlanta, Georgia.[41] It had wrapped by October 14.[76] Isaac said filming felt "handmade",[7] with Diab bringing an Arabic authenticity such as including the correct text of a prayer over a shop.[14]: 54  Hawke was appreciative of the Egyptian Diab for leading the series, since he did not approach the series "with the eyes of an American", but as someone who had grown up in the country.[9]: 8 

Additional photography was completed by mid-November,[77] and Diab said there was much less reshooting required for the series than on other Marvel Studios projects. He, Isaac, and Hawke attributed this to the large amount of rehearsing and discussing that they did before filming each episode, including regular Sunday brunches with the main cast and crew. Hawke said these meeings helped form a "collective imagination" for the series that made it easier to switch between Diab's episodes and those directed by Benson and Moorhead, since the "imaginative force behind it was the same".[45]

Post-production

Cedric Nairn-Smith serves as an editor on the series for the first and sixth episodes, Joan Sobel for the second and fifth episodes, and Ahmed Hafez for the third and fourth episodes, while Sean Andrew Faden serves as the visual effects supervisor.[9]: 26–28 

Music

Egyptian composer Hesham Nazih had composed the score for the series by early March 2022 in his first major English language project.[28][78] Diab said the music would help break Egyptian stereotypes by revealing some of the country's lesser-known contemporary art to international audiences, describing it as a "beautiful score that is Egyptian, but it's international at its core, it's universal".[43] The end-credit track "Moon Knight" was released digitally by Marvel Music and Hollywood Records as a single on March 30, 2022.[79]

Marketing

The first footage of the series debuted on Disney+ Day on November 12, 2021.[80][81] A trailer was then released on January 17, 2022, during the 2021–22 NFL playoffs,[82] 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".[82] 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,[51] which was echoed by his colleagues Aaron Couch and Borys Kit, who said the trailer suggested "something unlike any other Marvel show".[83] 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.[83] An additional trailer aired during Super Bowl LVI on February 13,[84] which continued to keep the series mysterious while depicting its "darker sensibilities", according to Screen Rant's Rachel Labonte.[85] 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".[86] RelishMix reported the trailer had 9.49 million views in 24 hours across Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram.[87]

Release

Moon Knight debuted on Disney+ on March 30, 2022,[15] and will run for six episodes,[40] concluding on May 4.[32] A special screening occurred on March 16 at Cine Capitol in Madrid,[88] and on March 17 at the British Museum in London,[27] with the red carpet premiere on March 22 at El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles.[89][29] It is part of Phase Four of the MCU.[90]

Reception

The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported an 85% approval rating with an average rating of 7.55/10, based on 90 reviews. The website's critics consensus reads, "Its entertainment value may wax and wane a bit, but Moon Knight ultimately settles into a mostly enjoyable—and refreshingly weird—spot in the MCU firmament."[91] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 69 out of 100 based on 19 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[92]

Matt Webb Mitovich at TVLine gave the series first four episodes an "A–", saying it "subvert[s] and perhaps wildly exceed[s] any tempered expectations", enjoying the unpredicatability the series brought compared to Marvel Studios' other Disney+ series centered on established characters. Mitovich also praised the visuals of Moon Knight and the acting, particularly that from Isaac.[23] Variety's Daniel D'Addario believe there was a "freshness" to Moon Knight that helped overcome the overwhelming feeling some of the MCU induces, with a series that would be "enticing even for those outside the fandom". Praise went to Isaac and Hawke's acting and to Marvel Studios for expanding outside their normal conventions, though D'Addario noted the series "drags a bit" through the middle part of the story, while receiving "a much-need kickstart" at the end of the fourth episode.[93] Giving the first four episodes of the series four out of five stars, James Dyer wrote in his review for Empire that Moon Knight was "a boldly bonkers affair that manages to capture the same giddy joy imbued in Hawkeye and Loki", delivering "something that feels genuinely different from any corner of the MCU yet explored". He added, however, that "the larger narrative is at times less compelling than the quirky character work".[94]

Daniel Fienberg was more critical of the series, thinking the series was "more successful as an Oscar Isaac acting exercise than a superhero thrill-ride". Fienberg was frustrated by the lack of Moon Knight and clarity to his skill set and stated the series "feels intended less as a TV show and more as an explanation for why viewers would want to watch the character eventually" join up with other MCU characters. He did appreciated Diab's culturally-appropriate depictions of Egypt.[95] Rolling Stone's Alan Sepinwall gave the series 3 out of 5 stars, enjoying Isaac's performance as both Grant and Spector, but feeling there was "precious little to feel excited about" in the series beyond that. Though Sepinwall became more engaged by the conclusion of the fourth episode since the story pivots "more into the darkness inherent in the character", he did not have high hopes for the series conclusion given past MCU Disney+ series faltered in their finales and the character's history of "being more exciting in theory than reality".[52]

Future

In November 2019, Feige stated that after introducing Moon Knight in the series, the character will cross over to the MCU films.[96] Diab stated in March 2022 that he felt the character would be part of the MCU for the next 10 years, and expressed his hope that Moon Knight would eventually get his own feature film.[49]
