Ethan Hawke Responds to Rumors That Mahershala Ali's Blade Will Appear in 'Moon Knight'

The Mandarin on “Moon Knight” could use some work.

May Calamawy is opening up about her journey to join Marvel with the new series, Moon Knight.

Oscar Isaac is giving fans a deeper look at his friendship with his Moon Knight costar Ethan Hawke.During a recent conversatioin with host Stephen Colbert on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Isaac discussed the new Marvel series before turning the conversation to an adventure he took with Hawke during a break from filming.“We danced with God,” the actor told the late night host when he asked about a fun night he had with his costar. “It was my brother and Ethan.

“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.

, 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.

Major spoilers for “Moon Knight” episode one follow.The premiere episode opens not on Oscar Isaac but rather Ethan Hawke, playing Arthur Harrow.

New episodes drop at 12am PT/3pm ET on Wednesdays, starting Wednesday, March 30.“Moon Knight” is being released weekly, so only one new episode will be unveiled at a time until the six-episode season is concluded on May 4.The story of this series follows Steven Grant (Isaac), a mild-mannered gift-shop employee, who becomes plagued with blackouts and memories of another life.

Bow wow!Ethan Hawke, who stars in the upcoming Viking epic “The Northman,” has shared some intriguing details about his new work on-screen with his acting “hero,” Willem Dafoe, in an interview with GQ UK.Hawke, 51, described a wild memory while filming that he and Dafoe, 66 won’t soon forget, involving nudity, animal noises and “Viking acid.” In the film, he and Dafoe are overcome by their animalistic instincts while tripping on “Viking acid,” leading them to strip down and play like wolves.The two hedonists star in a tale about a Norse king, played by Hawke, who is murdered, then avenged by his son, a bearded and brawny Alexander Skarsgård. Tellingly, Dafoe assumes the role of Heimir the Fool.“We have one amazing scene,” Hawke said.

Daniel D'Addario Chief TV CriticLast year, Marvel made a serious run at using streaming TV to do something qualitatively different than what it does on the big screen. With “WandaVision,” the first of its series to stream on Disney Plus, the studio used familiar characters to animate a story that, in its early going, was substantially more pliable and strange than what they were willing to attempt in a heavily leveraged movie.

While a fascinating idea of hero as unreliable narrator lies within, encouraged by intriguing notions of mental health issues, there are frustrating elements to the new series “Moon Knight” that begs the question of whether Marvel Studios will ever figure out how to make truly great television. Because while they’ve got a pretty terrific formula for making entertaining movies and thus far have made good-to-ok TV, Marvel is a machine stuck in the mold of plot, within a medium that always favors character.

GQ, the actor said he was worried about the future of productions that aren’t driven by director’s ideas.He said: “I get scared when things get less director-driven. I’m scared of streaming, I can’t stand the word content.“It starts to make me feel like we’re devising a world like Wall-E where people drink smoothies and just press play. I don’t want to be a part of that.”Hawke, who is starring in upcoming new Marvel series Moon Knight, went on to say a  conversation with his daughter Maya – one of the stars of Stranger Things – helped him to resolve the difference between what he saw as director-driven, crafted films and “content”.He continued: “My daughter Maya said something really wise about it.
