, 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.

Marvel Studios’ “Moon Knight” is unlike anything attempted in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since 2008’s “Iron Man.” Not only is it Marvel’s first Disney Plus series that doesn’t focus on already established characters, the first four episodes of the show, which Variety has seen, contain not a single spoken reference to the MCU. No one talks about Thanos or the Snap, Spider-Man or Wakanda.

Oscar Isaac may be in the midst of promoting a new Disney series, but that doesn’t mean he’ll hold back criticism of the company’s corporate response to Florida’s controversial “Don’t Say Gay” legislation.

“Moon Knight”Wednesday, March 30, Disney+Marvel Studios’ latest Disney+ original series (its sixth) is a relatively deep cut character – Marc Spector (played by Oscar Isaac), a man who, depending on the comic book run, is truly inhabited by a deity from ancient Egypt or just deeply unhinged mentally. We are introduced to Spector via one of his alter egos, sheepish British museum employee Steven Grant (Isaac goes full Dick-Van-Dyke-in-“Mary Poppins”), who is soon plagued with visions of a mystery man who looks an awful lot like himself, as well as nightmarish creatures with animal heads that look like old gods.

Use that platform when you’ve got it, right? In the spotlight arguably more than he’s ever been in the past, “Moon Knight” director and executive producer Mohamed Diab has been very vocal about using Middle Eastern culture and, specifically, Egypt in modern superhero projects. The country plays a significant role in the new Marvel Studios streaming series as Egyptian mythology is directly tied to Marc Spector/Steven Grant’s alter-ego, Moon Knight.

Moon Knight director Mohamed Diab has called the depiction of Egypt in Wonder Woman 1984 “a disgrace”.The filmmaker, from Egypt himself, pointed to the scene in which Diana and Steve visit Cairo, and discussed his own take on ancient Egyptian mythology in the forthcoming Disney+ series.“In my pitch, there was a big part about Egypt, and how inauthentically it has been portrayed throughout Hollywood’s history,” he told SFX Magazine.“It’s always exotic – we call it orientalism. It dehumanises us. We are always naked, we are always sexy, we are always bad, we are always over the top.”Speaking about Wonder Woman 1984 specifically, Diab went on: “You never see Cairo.

Zack Sharf Marvel’s upcoming series “Moon Knight” features four of six episodes directed by Mohamed Diab, the Egyptian screenwriter and filmmaker best known for his feature directorial debut “Cairo 678” and his 2021 Venice world premiere “Amira.” The Marvel series incorporates elements of Ancient Egyptian mythology in telling the story of Marc Spector (Oscar Isaac), a mercenary who becomes the conduit of the Egyptian moon god Khonshu, so it was of upmost importance for Diab when signing onto the series that it did right by Egyptian representation.“In my pitch, there was a big part about Egypt, and how inauthentically it has been portrayed throughout Hollywood’s history,” Diab recently told SFX Magazine. “It’s always exotic – we call it orientalism. It dehumanizes us.

Disney is still trying to deal with the fallout caused by their donations to politicians that are supporting the hateful “Don’t Say Gay” bill, a law passed in Florida that prohibits instruction regarding gender identity and sexual orientation. The company has offered flowery statements but still hasn’t been able to quell the backlash and reports that they’ve removed same-sex affection scenes in Pixar films.
