‘Moon Knight’ Star Ethan Hawke Took Inspiration From Southern Baptist Preachers for Marvel Villain (Video)

Until quite recently, “The Black Phone” was not the movie Scott Derrickson thought he’d release in 2022. After the box office success of “Doctor Strange” in 2016—still the biggest single-character introduction film in the MCU—Derrickson was ready at the helm for the sequel, “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” scheduled for release in May.

“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.

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.

, 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.

Angelique Jackson SPOILER ALERT: Do not read unless you’ve watched the series premiere of Marvel Studios’ “Moon Knight,” now streaming on Disney Plus. “Moon Knight,” the latest entry in to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is as much a story about the gods of Egypt as it is about superheroes.

Marvel Studios have released a brand-new series featuring a new character for the MCU – Moon Knight, played by award-winning actor Oscar Isaac and also starring Ethan Hawke and May Calamawy.

Oscar Isaac, follows the first hero in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to struggle with Dissociative Identity Disorder.

Major spoilers for “Moon Knight” episode one follow.The premiere episode opens not on Oscar Isaac but rather Ethan Hawke, playing Arthur Harrow. We didn’t know much about his character before the show and we honestly don’t know all that much after the first episode. But this initial scene certainly sets the stage: we see him at a desk.

Oscar Isaac leads the MCU’s latest original series,, as the titular superhero with dissociative identity disorder possessed by the Egyptian god, Khonshu, and his multiple personalities, Marc Spector, Steven Grant and Mr. Knight, who all find themselves on a mythological (and psychological) adventure akin to.

Ethan Hawke's daughter told him to "respect" the Marvel fanbase. The 51-year-old actor - who has actress daughter Maya, 23, with ex-wife Uma Thurman - stars as villain Arthur Harrow in MCU series 'Moon Knight' and was told by Maya that his job was to "participate" with the audience. He said: "Maya said something really beautiful to me.

“Moon Knight” introduces Oscar Isaac’s titular hero to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and is the latest in a line of small-screen stories meant to expand the MCU. 2021 brought “WandaVision,” “Loki,” “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” “What If…” and “Hawkeye” and “Moon Knight” kicks 2022 off in style with the story of a man suffering from Dissociative Identity Disorder who moonlights as a crime fighter.But those highly anticipating the show may be wondering, what time does “Moon Knight” come out on Disney+? 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.

Uma Thurman has made a name for herself in Hollywood, proving she’s here for the long run. The 51-year-old actress is perhaps best known for her partnership with Quentin Tarantino, playing Mia Wallace in Pulp Fiction and The Bride in Kill Bill: Volume 1 and 2 (2003, 2004). In real life, however, perhaps her favorite role is mom to three kids.
