Oscar Isaac will fight Ethan Hawke in Moon Knight on Disney+
By Dan Selcke
Moon Knight is just one of many Marvel TV shows on the way to Disney+, and the cast is starting to look pretty impressive.
Moon Knight is just one of many many Marvel shows headed to Disney+ over the next couple of years, a list that includes The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki, Hawkeye, Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk, and WandaVision, which is the show airing right now. Oscar Isaac plays the title character in Moon Knight, who has had a few different incarnations in the comics. Sometimes he’s Marc Spector, a mercenary with numerous alter egos. Sometimes he’s a conduit for an ancient Egyptian moon god, and most recently he’s a consultant who dresses in all white and goes by the name Mr. Knight.
We don’t know exactly how Marvel Studios will approach the character, but we know it’s serious about the cast. Oscar Isaac, who’s coming off his role as Poe Dameron in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, is a big get by himself, and now Deadline reports that Ethan Hawke (Before Sunrise, Training Day, Boyhood) has signed on to play the villain of the piece.
And just who is the villain of the piece? Well, we’re still working on that. Moon Knight’s primary antagonist in the comics is Bushman, a mercenary who turned on Mr. Knight over Egyptian gold, but we’ve yet to see exactly what direction Marvel takes with the series.
Still, the cast is impressive, and will be plenty of Marvel shows to keep us entertained between now and then.
