Major spoilers follow for “Moon Knight” episode 5. Turn back now or be banished to the Egyptian land of the afterlife.The episode begins with a woman who we’ve never seen, screaming directly into camera: “It’s all your fault.” We see a flash of water and a cave, before we shift into an office. It’s sort of like Ethan Hawke’s office in the otherworldly psych ward from the previous episode but different; more mundane and of-the-real-world.

Billie Faiers broke down into tears on Wednesday 20 April evening's episode of The Mummy Diaries as she practiced has charity ball speech amid ongoing stress over her house renovations.The 32 year old, who was recently grilled by her mum about her future plans to have more children, has been busy documenting the work being carried out on the property, which has had some issues.

Marvel‘s Moon Knight have opened up about the show’s spectacular ending to episode four.The series focuses on Steven Grant (Oscar Isaac), an unassuming gift shop employee who hasn’t yet realised why his life is so chaotic, based on a series of Marvel comics dating back to 1975.Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Aaron Moorhead and Justin Benson described the cliffhanger as “a gift of the script” that came from “wanting to do the least expected thing and completely disorient the audience, while also being completely true to the character that we’ve built over four episodes.”In the interview, Isaac described the episode’s climax as “a total mind melt that happens when you realise the possibility that everything you’ve been watching is not what you thought it was.”Responding to a sequence of events that NME described as offering “a lot of answers, a lot more questions and an ending so weird it throws the rest of the series into complete chaos,” Moorhead said: “We’ve talked about this scene feeling like it’s underwater, not just because he’s been sedated, but because the entire audience has just been subjected to an entire worldview shift of what this show is.“Why is there a weird Indiana Jones knockoff movie right in the middle of Moon Knight?”Addressing one of the ending’s more surreal moments, Benson said: “It’s funny. We only had one or maybe two shots with this [hippo] character.

“Moon Knight,” odds are episode 4 destroyed that confidence. Don’t worry, Oscar Isaac and Ethan Hawke know how confused everyone is, but they also have some insight as to what’s coming.In “The Tomb”, Marc, Steven and Layla successfully infiltrate the tomb of Ammit.

Mean Girls (★★★☆☆) are reprising roles from the 2019-2020 tour, and their experience shows in the well-honed comedy and character work on display.As Gretchen Wieners and Karen Smith — two of The Plastics, the pastel-pretty apex predators of the story’s high school jungle — Megan Masako Haley and Jonalyn Saxer know where all the laughs are. They nail Gretchen and Karen’s dramatic beats, too.And Mary Kate Morrissey, with the pipes to elevate every song she takes on, delivers snark without resting on stereotype in her portrayal of proud misfit Janis Sarkisian, eager to see The Plastics toppled from atop the North Shore High food chain.Janis might get her wish with the arrival of new student Cady Heron, played by Danielle Wade, also reprising her role from the previous tour.An American girl raised in Kenya, Cady hasn’t a clue how to navigate the social savagery of a suburban Illinois high school, but she learns fast from Janis and vividly gay fellow outcast Damian Hubbard, performed by Eric Huffman, another in the cast with an engaging take on their character and firm handle on the comic timing.Damian and Janis’ tutelage in numbers like “Where Do You Belong?” sets Cady up for finding popularity.

Moon Knight is paying tribute to Gaspard Ulliel.

very questionable Mandarin-speaking skills)? There are only a few more episodes for him to get the job done.With this week’s episode, “Moon Knight” is inching towards a resolution, with the central narrative picking up steam and the scope expanding towards “Indiana Jones”-ian proportions.But what really went down during this week’s episode? Read on for our full rundown.Major spoilers for this week’s episode of “Moon Knight” follow, obviously.The episode opens with Layla (May Calamawy), Marc’s (ex?) wife and Steven’s current partner, getting forged documents. She’s describing her current situation in between getting photos taken for her phony passport. “He’s probably going to get himself killed running around Cairo,” she says.

“Moon Knight,” that villain is the chillingly calm Arthur Harrow. But as it happens, Ethan Hawke didn’t look to other villains in pop culture for inspiration on being scary; he looked to real life “television preachers.”Episode 2, now streaming on Disney+, makes a pretty big reveal about Harrow too: he used to be the Moon Knight. Or rather, he was Khonshu’s avatar as Marc Spector and Steven Grant are now.

's second episode finds Steven Grant (Oscar Isaac) frantically trying to unravel the mysteries of his other identity, Marc Spector, and his vengeful, masked alter ego. However, as the bumbling, newly fired British Museum worker tries to piece together what he's learned about the dangers he's suddenly facing, he comes across far more questions than answers. The confusion is only compounded by the introduction of Layla El-Faouly (May Calamawy), an archaeologist and adventurer, who — as Steven finds out when she pleads with him to sign their divorce papers -- is also Marc's wife.Layla initially doesn't believe Steven when he protests that he's not actually the husband she's looking for.

Major spoilers follow for “Moon Knight” episode 2. Beware!Steven wakes up his bed. Odd considering that, at the end of the previous episode, he had allowed for Marc to take over and, in turn, for the Moon Knight to reveal himself.

, the MCU’s latest series now streaming on Disney+, Arthur Harrow’s ambitions are becoming a bit more clear, as the cult-like leader reveals to Steven Grant (Oscar Isaac) his plans to resurrect another Egyptian god, Ammit. While speaking to ET’s Will Marfuggi, Ethan Hawke opens up about playing the cryptic antagonist, who blurs the lines of a typical villain, and his Thanos-like intentions. Given that the titular superhero is someone who has dissociative identity disorder, exhibits multiple personalities and is possessed by Khonshu, Harrow couldn’t be a typical villain.

Moon Knight (★★★☆☆) is a hero who literally doesn’t know himself. Beneath his mask of bandages and ceremonial armor, he’s a man split in two, beset by inner demons as well as the mystical demons and deities that dog his path.Most days, as we’re led to believe from episode one, he wakes up in London as mild-mannered museum gift shop clerk Steven Grant.

As a long-term Marvel fan I've been a bit conflicted by the Disney+ TV shows. All in all, barring Hawkeye which might now top my list of essential run-up-to-Christmas geek viewing, I've found them a mixed bag with moments of brilliance but a lot of issues around pacing, canon and general tone. I hate to say it but Disney+ has never really hit the mark with me for Marvel TV in the way the Netflix shows, particularly Daredevil and The Punisher, did.
