The chaos of “Moon Knight” is coming, and it’s going to be epic.
The latest look at the upcoming “Moon Knight” series of Disney+ dropped during Super Bowl LVI on Sunday, and fans are getting an better look at the titular vigilante.
With even more of the Egyptian imagery that plays such a key role to the story, to more, increasingly unsettling looks at the madness that plagues Oscar Isaac’s troubled hero, this spot whets the appetite for the forthcoming series while still keeping the mystery shrouded and shadows and chaos.
Moon Knight is secretly Marc Spector, a mercenary who may or may not be infused with powers from Khonshu the Moon God after being left for dead in the Egyptian desert.
However, it may all be in his head, as he also suffers from dissociative identity disorder. In the comics, Spector has used his various identities to fight crime, but they’ve also been one of his biggest obstacles for obtaining any sort of normal life.
Ethan Hawke, meanwhile, appears to play something of a long-haired messianic figure with kneeling acolytes. Hawke’s quietly menacing character tells Spector (or one of Spector’s personalities), “There’s chaos in you. Embrace the chaos.”
During Disney Investor Day, Feige likened the series to Indiana Jones and revealed that each of Marc Spector’s identities will be depicted as a “very distinct” character.
“Moon Knight” was first announced by Feige during 2019’s D23 Expo, with the Marvel boss teasing it as “a new action-adventure series” and “something very unique and exciting for us,” while head writer Jeremy Slater (Netflix’s Umbrella Academy) promises “one hell of a ride.” While this marks Isaac’s official entrée into the MCU, he previously starred as the titular big bad in Fox’s “X-Men
Oscar Isaac is hosting the new episode of Saturday Night Live this weekend with musical guest Charli XCX, who is finally getting her moment in the spotlight.
Oscar Isaac is heading to for the first time, and he's bringing some of his famous character work and accents to the table.In promos released by NBC on Thursday, Isaac was joined by musical guest Charli XCX and castmember Aidy Bryant on the Studio 8H stage, and the actors were enchanted by the singer's English accent.«Yeah, I might try talkin' like you this week,» Bryant said, putting on an over-the-top, cartoonish cockney accent.«Oi, yeah! That'd be a crackin' good time, yeah!» Isaac added, affect an equally unrealistic caricature.«Guys, that's really not how I sound,» the singer shot back, trying to get them to just knock it off to no avail as the pair just switched to even more outlandish attempts at an impression.«Yeah, that's spot on. Well done,» and annoyed Charli said, giving up on trying to correct them as Isaac and Bryant high-fived excitedly.ET's Nischelle Turner spoke with Isaac on the red carpet at the 2022 Screen Actors Guild last Sunday and he opened up about making his hosting debut.«It's very nerve wracking, but I'm very excited about it though,» Isaac shared enthusiastically.
This review of “Page One” was first published on January 24, 2011 after the film’s premiere at the Sundance Film Festival. It’s kind of weird for me to watch “Page One,” a year-long chronicle of my former colleagues on the media desk of The New York Times and their struggle to produce journalism in this most challenging of times.The film, which starts around the time I started TheWrap in 2009 after having left the paper, is kind of like watching the conversation continue in the room after you’ve walked out.On the one hand, the film directed by Andrew Rossi does an able job of documenting the critically important role that the Times continues to play in news-gathering and dissemination – and why it can be so damn exciting to be there.On the other hand, the film gives a rather superficial assessment of what everybody really wants to know: Will the Times make it, or not? Can the newspaper of record change fast enough, dramatically enough, to adjust to an upside-down business model?That he doesn’t answer.In 2008, the Times cut 100 jobs, borrowed $250 million and re-leased its building. In 2009, it cut another 100 jobs.It is distinctly odd to hear someone say on film exactly what I felt at that tie: “The mood is funereal.” And, I might have added, not conducive to doing great journalism.The team on which he focuses includes heroically smart and dedicated journalists – David Carr, Brian Stelter, Bruce Headlam (proud to say I’ve worked with two of them, hope one day to work with the third) who make up much of the media desk.The challenge of the media desk is even more profound – to chronicle the potential demise of an industry of which you are a part.

Zack Sharf With its Super Bowl teaser earning over 3 million views and counting in less than a day, all signs point to “Moon Knight” being one of the biggest television series of the spring. The show marks Oscar Isaac’s introduction into the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Marc Spector, a former CIA operative turned mercenary who dies during a job in Sudan but is revived and turned into the conduit of the Egyptian moon god Khonshu.

Wilson Chapman editorGet ready to meet the many, many sides of Marc Spector.During the Super Bowl, Marvel Studios unveiled the second trailer for “Moon Knight,” the Oscar Isaac-starring limited series premiering March 30 on Disney Plus.The Marvel Cinematic Universe series stars Isaac as Moon Knight, a character first created by Doug Moench and Don Perlin in 1975 for the comic series “Werewolf by Knight.” In most depictions of the character, Moon Knight is the secret identity of Marc Spector, a former CIA operative turned mercenary who dies during a job in Sudan but is revived and turned into the conduit of the Egyptian moon god Khonshu, becoming a Batman-esque vigilante. One of the character’s most notable traits is his dissociative identity disorder, which manifests in several distinct personas with defined personalities.
Marvel kicked off 2021 with the unusual and beloved “WandaVision,” then the superhero studio is doing the same in 2022 with the strange “Moon Knight” series. In the comics, there have been many iterations of the Moon Knight character, but in the upcoming Disney+ series, it appears they are merging the best of all worlds of the character: a dark and gritty, street-level vigilante like Batman, an eerie and spectral supernatural element, and the idea of a broken and fractured mental health in a character who’s not entirely in control of himself.
Marvel boss Kevin Feige has described upcoming Disney+ series Moon Knight as “brutal” and a show that sees “the boundaries shifting on what we’re able to do.”A first look at the upcoming Disney+ series, which sees Oscar Isaac play the titular role of Marc Spector, “a mercenary who has numerous alter egos”, arrived in a trailer last month. The show will debut on Disney+ on March 30.“He’s brutal,” Feige told Empire of Spector, adding: “It’s been fun to work with Disney+ and see the boundaries shifting on what we’re able to do. There are moments [in the series] when Moon Knight is wailing on another character, and it is loud and brutal, and the knee-jerk reaction is, ‘We’re gonna pull back on this, right?’“No.
When Marvel Studios announced their “Moon Knight” series starring Oscar Issac, a lot of folks seemed to be puzzled why that obscure Marvel character was given an adaptation on Disney+ above others still waiting to get the live-action treatment. Well, it’s starting to look like the studio isn’t shying away from the more bizarre and violent aspects of his comic book counterpart allowing for more mature and experimental superhero stories.
