Carson Burton Creating the detailed, intricate looks for three massive Egyptian gods, a handful of “avatars” of said gods along with two all-new MCU superheroes is no simple job. Meghan Kasperlik, the costume designer on Marvel’s newest limited series “Moon Knight,” was tasked for creating the looks for these new additions to Marvel’s vast universe.
To her, the art is in the details.“I never want a costume in the story, unless it’s high fashion and really has to be in your face, to be in your face,” Kasperlik told Variety. “So everyone, across the board, has little touches on their costumes.”“Moon Knight” stars Oscar Isaac in the titular role of Moon Knight, a new superhero to the MCU that wields the power of Khonshu, the Egyptian god of the moon. The series tracks the god-avatar duo as they attempt to stop Arthur Harrow (Ethan Hawke) from resurrecting the deadly Egyptian goddess of retribution Ammit.
With a show so steeped in Ancient Egyptian lore, Kasperlik had to do “a tremendous amount of research,” including visiting the Met Museum in New York. She also talked extensively to the show’s Egyptian crew members, including director Mohamed Diab and co-star May Calamawy.According to Kasperlik, Diab always wanted “lots and lots” of Egyptian symbols on the costumes, but the costume designer was wary of going overboard with this.“May and I spoke at length and she was like, ‘It’s not like you live in America and you wear the American flag every day.’ So it was about having those subtleties but still representing Egyptian culture today and also Ancient Egyptians symbols from the past.

As essential as corsets are to the 18th century, they are equally as important to period costume design in the 21st century.However, as period-era dramas filled the air, costume designers of many Emmy-contending shows followed up to dress their cast members in corsets — but with the modern twist of added comfort.Carrie Coon, who plays wealthy socialite Bertha Russell in HBO’s “The Gilded Age,” is no stranger to wearing corsets.

Clayton Davis “Moon Knight” has taken off with critics and superhero fans around the globe, raking in enormous numbers for Disney+ and Marvel Studios. As a result, the two studios are gearing up for a hardy Emmys campaign with the show in the limited series categories, especially following the success of “WandaVision,” which co-led the tally for all series with 23 nominations (winning three) last year.
Marvel Studios is fleshing out multiple new characters thanks to their shows on Disney+, and with “Moon Knight” coming to an end this week, there are some interesting tidbits about two Marvel characters that were originally planned to show up that ultimately didn’t make the cut.

The Marvel Studios shows on Disney+ have had an awkward relationship with their finales, sometimes erring on too showy (“WandaVision”) or too talky (“Loki”).With “Moon Knight” (like “Hawkeye” before it), they seemed to find the right balance, with Marc Spector/Steven Grant (Oscar Isaac) attempting to return from the afterlife to thwart Arthur Harrow’s (Ethan Hawke) insidious plot and also come to terms with unruly tangle of his own psychology. “Moon Knight” is nothing if not an extended, hieroglyphics-etched metaphor for owning your shit.
