Oscar Isaac, Ethan Hawke, Mohamed Diab & Grant Curtis share some great stories about making MoonKnight and creating Marvel's new MCU series.
In the Marvel Studios series Moon Knight, mild-mannered gift shop employee Steven Grant realizes that his recent bouts confusion are actually due to the fact that he has dissociative identity disorder and shares a body with mercenary Marc Spector . They are very different men with very different lives, who are learning how to coexist while fighting off their enemies and figuring out how the powerful gods of Egypt play into it all.
Oscar, you’re no stranger to big projects, like Star Wars and Dune. What was different about joining the MCU with Moon Knight? ETHAN HAWKE: The history of movies is paved with storytellers using mental illness as a building block for the villain. There are countless stories of mentally ill villains, but we have a mentally ill hero, and that’s fascinating because we’ve now inverted the whole process. As the antagonist, I can’t be crazy because the hero is crazy, so I have to find a sane lunatic, or a sane malevolent force.
ISAAC: The first thing was that we hired my brother, Michael Hernández, to come in and be the other me. It’s the closest thing to me there is on Earth. He came in, and he would play other Steven or Marc. He even did the accent and everything. That was really helpful, to have someone who’s not only a great actor, but who shares my DNA, to play off of.
ISAAC: It was an investigation and a collaboration. That was what was so exciting. There was a moment there when originally Marc was Mr. Knight and Steven was Moon Knight. We talked about all these things and tried to make it all connect, so that switched. Meghan [Kasperlik], our costume designer, just did such an astounding job, taking it from a concept to something I could wear and move in and fight in. The craftsmanship is just astonishing.
