  • Ethan Hawke talks about the Future possibilities for Moon Knight Season 2

    If you have followed all the Moon Knight clips that have been revealed by Marvel so far, you must know by now that the character of Arthur Harrow that is being played by Hollywood star Ethan Hawke is one of the main antagonists in the Disney+ MCU series. We have seen some of Arthur Harrow’s powers till now, the most awesome one being the one in which he summons an ancient Egyptian devil with his spells. There is no doubt in the fact that he will be a worthy opponent of Oscar Isaac’s Moon Knight. 

    Moon Knight is set to be the origin story of Marvel’s namesake vigilante Anti-hero. Although it is being speculated that Moon Knight will be one of Marvel’s key characters in the MCU going forward, it is unknown whether we will get to see a sequel of the series or will Moon Knight directly move on to the other bigger franchises of the MCU. We must not forget that a possible collab between Mahershala Ali’s Blade, Kit Harington’s Black Knight and Marc Spector is on the charts so there’s that as well. 

    Ethan Hawke talks about Moon Knight’s future

    Amid such speculations, Ethan Hawke who plays the role of Arthur Harrow has given us some intel about the future of Marc Spector and the other characters of the upcoming Disney+ series in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. 

    Ethan Hawke has suggested that although it is being said to be a Limited Series which means it will not have a sequel, Marvel might also treat is as just the beginning of a much bigger project which will open up a plethora of opportunities for the character. 

    “The good news is that it’s possibly both. It lives and breathes on its own merits, it functions as a limited series – and if people are engaged and excited by it then it could be the origin story of a larger thing,” Ethan Hawke said. 

    Moon Knight will be premiering on Disney+ in about a week’s time on March 30. The early reviews for the series are awesome and some are even calling it the best Marvel series till date. You can check the early reviews of Moon Knight here.

  • New Moon Knight clip gives away a big detail about Arthur Harrow’s Powers

    Marvel has been releasing small bits of some interesting scenes from their upcoming Disney+ MCU series Moon Knight. It is a different strategy that the Studio has followed this time around and it is working as the fans are getting more and more eager about the movie. In the most recent video clip that Marvel has released, we are shown a rather important scene where Arthur Harrow (played by Ethan Hawke) shows his powers for the first time. 

    Who is Moon Knight’s Arthur Harrow

    From what we can understand from the videos so far, Arthur Harrow is going to be the main antagonist in Moon Knight. He has been shown to be a cult leader who is well versed in ancient Egyptian scriptures and the latest clip suggests that he can use his powers and knowledge of old scriptures to summon Egyptian gods and demons. This makes his powers slightly similar to that of Moon Knight as he draws his powers directly from the Egyptian God of death, Khonsu. It might be so that Arthur Harrow needs wants to acquire this power. 

    The scene from the recently released clip seems to be set inside a pyramid. We can see Arthur Harrow, some of his followers of people, Layla and Marc Spector a.k.a Moon Knight in the scene. 

    The scene and Arthur Harrow’s Powers 

    Layla asks Marc to suit up to save them from Harrow and their Thugs and gives her something that resembles a golden egg. It must have some major significance as otherwise, she would not have prioritised the safety of the egg over herself. 

    The two thus try to escape the place and Arthur Harrow and his men clearly don’t like it and they try to stop it. It is then that Arthur Harrow reads out an ancient Egyptian spell and taps his crane on the floor. The floor barges open and the hand of a mysterious devilish creature is shown. Although we do not know what it was exactly for sure, it was definitely something to be scared about. 

    It appears to be a climax scene as otherwise, Arthur Harrow would not have revealed his true powers. To know everything about the series, we will have to see Moon Knight on 30th March as soon as it gets released on Disney+ Hotstar.

  • Oscar Isaac teases a Cameo of Avengers Superstar in Moon Knight

    Although one of the Producers of Moon Knight said a few days ago that Moon Knight will have no connection with the MCU whatsoever, recent leaks and rumours suggest that he might have been lying the whole time as a major Marvel character is supposedly set to make an unprecedented cameo in the series.

    Moon Knight will be Marvel’s first psychologically complex superhero as Marc Spector literally suffers from Multiple Personality disorder and it will thus be the Studio’s first DC-esque movie.

    However, while the fans are excited to see something new, it also means that it is untouched ground for Marvel Studios and they might as well mess things up if they try to bring in more and more of their star characters.

    Moon Knight will thus solely be a solo series which will serve as the origin project of the character but also serve as something solid enough to make fans fall in love with the new character.

    The trailer of the series so far has suggested that it will be very much it. A cinematic masterpiece from Marvel which will have many shades welcoming the fans to take a deep dive into Marc Spector’s complex persona.

    Oscar Isaac teases a big possibility for Moon Knight

    However, actor Oscar Isaac who is playing the role of Moon Knight in the series, has now himself teased a big possibility for the movie. Something he said in a recent interview suggested that we might see the Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk in the TV series.

    “I mean he’s a bit of a loner, so that the thing. I don’t know maybe… Who would he get along with in the MCU out of everyone? Maybe Hulk! Yea, I could see it happen.”

    Oscar Isaac thinks that Bruce Banner and Marc Spector have a common loner mentality in them and that this might be the link that connects the two characters.

    Will Hulk appear in Moon Knight?

    Despite Oscar Isaac’s words, in reality, it is highly unlikely that Hulk will appear in the upcoming Disney+ series Moon Knight. The two characters are poles apart with Hulk having this International hype about him while Moon Knight is a masked vigilante.

    However, Bruce Banner’s appearance in the post-credit scene is something that might very well happen. We last saw him in the post-credit scene of Shang Chi and he might appear in the post-credit scene of Moon Knight as well, possibly teasing the upcoming She-Hulk series.

  • Moon Knight will not be set in the Current MCU! Producer makes Shocking Revelation

    Marvel’s upcoming Disney+ series Moon Knight is set to release in about 2 weeks’ time on 30th March and the hype about it on the internet is insane. It is the first time that fans will see such a psychologically complex character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and they are fully pumped up to witness the origin story of Marvel’s infamous Masked Vigilante. However, the executive Producer has now made a big revelation about the upcoming series and it might break a few hearts. 

    Grant Curtis says Moon Knight has ‘No Attachment to the Current MCU’

    In a recent Disney Press Release, Moon Knight’s executive producer Grant Curtis dropped a bombshell. While talking about the character and the upcoming series, Curtis hinted that Moon Knight will have no connection whatsoever to the current MCU as we know it and that it will be a solo series. 

    “There’s no attachment to the current MCU. He’s brand-new, and he is going on a brand-new adventure. We really think the fans are going to enjoy it,” Curtis Grant said. 

    – Grant Spector

    Talking about the complex character of Marc Spector a.k.a Moon Knight, the executive producer said that they want to show the character’s growth from the beginning to the end gradually just like they did for Tony Stark’s Iron Man. Thus, Marvel wants to make a new hero from ground zero. 

    “There are multiple aspects of Moon Knight that get us internally jazzed at Marvel Studios. But one of the unique aspects of this character is it’s taking Marvel Studios to its Iron Man and Tony Stark roots. That was a character that was obviously built from the ground up, and it is the same with Marc Spector,” he said. 

    – Grant Spector

    Is Moon Knight set in the MCU?

    Although many might think that Curtis Grant is suggesting that Moon Knight is not set in the MCU, I personally think that he means something else. The executive producer wants to say that the series will not have any reference to the events that have been going on the rest of the MCU, like the blip or the death of Tiamut – Earth’s celestial. 

    Going forward, Moon Knight will be one of Marvel’s important characters in Phase 4 and there is no reason why they would keep such a powerful character separated from the MCU. A number of upcoming MCU characters like the Black Knight and Blade are rumoured to team up together with Moon Knight and thus there is still no doubt in the fact that Moon Knight is set in the MCU.

    Confirmed Star Cast

    1. Oscar Isaac – Marc Spector/ Steven Grant/ Moon Knight

    It is not unknown that Oscar Isaac is a phenomenal actor and if there is someone who can play the complex character of Marc Spector to perfection, it is him. 

    Oscar Isaac has had the privilege of playing two big Marvel characters now. He played Apocalypse in Fox Studios’ 2016 movie X-Men: Apocalypse and he will now be playing the role of Moon Knight in MCU. 

    As we all know, Moon Knight’s alter ego Marc Spector suffers from dissociative identity disorder and thus Oscar Isaac is expected to play many shades of his character in this series. Eagerly waiting for him to nail the role as usual!

    2. Ethan Hawke – Arthur Harrow 

    Ethan Hawke – Arthur Harrow

    Ethan Hawke who is famous for his works in Training Day, The purge and Moby Dick, will play the role of Arthur Harrow in the Series. 

    Arthur Harrow is a cult leader and a friend of Steven Grant – an alter ego of Marc Spector who works in a Museum. 

    According to Marvel comics, Arthur Harrow was a Nobel prize-nominated scientist. He was suffering from trigeminal neuralgia and his illegal experiments on humans led to a huge battle between him and Moon Knight. 

    In the Moon Knight teaser and trailer, the creepy guy with the cane who supposedly has a big following is Arthur Harrow. 

    3. Gaspard Ulliel – Anton Mogart

    French actor Gaspard Ulliel, who featured in Hannibal Rising and Saint Laurent will be playing the role of Anton Mogart in the movie. 

    The actor died in a tragic skiing incident on January 19, 2022, and his role in the movie will be posthumous. 

    According to Marvel comics, he is also known as Midnight Man. He is a thief and a collector. 

    4. F. Murray Abraham – Moon God Khonshu

    F. Murray Abraham will be playing the important role of Moon God Khonshu in Moon Knight. 

    He is an Egyptian god who gave powers to Marc Spector and blessed (or cursed) him transforming him into Moon Knight. 

    So far, we have only seen a glimpse of Khonshu in one scene in the TV Spot trailer where he stood as a giant figure behind Marc Spector. 

    Khonshu will be a totally CGI built character and he will only be voiced by Abraham.

    5. May Calamawy – Layla 

    May Calamawy will be playing the role of Layla who is a friend of Marc Spector. 

    6. Lucy Thackeray – Donna

    Lucy Thackeray plays the Museum curator who says “Real catch you are. You are useless Stevie,” to Mark’s alter ego Steven Grant who works in the Museum. Her name is Donna. 

    Rumoured Star Cast

    1. Mahershala Ali – Blade

    According to rumours, Marvel character Blade played by Mahershala Ali can have a cameo in Moon Knight. Marvel has already announced that a Disney+ series on the character is set to release in 2022. In Moon Knight, we can have a first look at Blade. 

    2. Kit Harington – Black Knight

    In Eternals, we saw a glimpse of Dane Whiteman, Marvel’s Black Knight. The post-credit scene of the movie showed Kit Harington as Dane Whiteman about to tough an ancestral ebony blade before a voice from behind warns him. 

    The voice belongs to none other than Mahershala Ali who will play Blade in MCU. Black Knight and Blade have operated together in Marvel comics on many occassions. Many are of the opinion that both these characters will appear in Marvel’s Moon Knight.

    Moon Knight, Blade and Black Knight can operate together as a trio of sorts in the future in MCU as all three of them have a similar role of a vigilante.
