MoonKnight director Mohamed Diab says the series is the first role Ethan Hawke took without reading a script first
✖ When actors sign on for a role in most cases reading the script for the project is a part of the decision-making process. When it comes to the upcoming Disney+ series Moon Knight, however, director Mohamed Diab asked Ethan Hawke not to do just that. Diab told the Arthur Harrow actor to skip reading the script and just trust, marking the first time in Hawke's 35-year career that he signed on for a project without reading the script first.
"I want to say that Ethan and Oscar, when it came to the signing, Ethan is someone that is — everyone sees him as this great, legendary, independent film actor, and joining the superhero world is something big," Diab said ."So, when Oscar first approached him and then I talked to him about it, we pitched him the idea, but I told him please don't read the script. Not that the script is bad, but when you work with him, you have to get from him.
"So, to trust us and sign without — he told me this was 'the first time in 35 years that I signed something without reading a script.' And he did it. Thank you for your trust," Diab said.
