Fantastic casting

ETA:

MAKE MINE MARVEL.
That is what Ethan Hawke is saying as the actor makes his first foray into the superhero and comic book world.

And what a foray it is: Hawke, a two-time Oscar nominee for Training Day and Boyhood, is joining Oscar Isaac in the Marvel Studios series Moon Knight. And he’s playing the villain.

With his time in the Star Wars franchise coming to an end, Oscar Isaac now sets his sights on the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Deadline is hearing he is in negotiations to star as Moon Night in the Marvel and Disney+ series based on the comic book hero.

Jeremy Slater, who developed and wrote Netflix’s comic book adaptation of the Umbrella Academy series, has been tapped to develop and lead the writing team on the series for the streamer.

Moon Knight aka Marc Spector, is a mercenary who has numerous alter egos — cabbie Jake Lockley and millionaire playboy Steven Grant — in order to better fight the criminal underworld. But later he was established as being a conduit for the Egyptian moon god Khonshu. Most recently, the character was a consultant who dresses in all-white and goes by the name Mr. Knight

I can roll with this. They owe him this since they fricked him sideways in the Last Jedi.

He's really one of the most unique out there. And his book has always been excellent. Just a fun character to use, and a great story.

So- Moon Knight is a midget, huh?

I thought it was going to be Oliver Jackson-Cohen. MUCH better choice than tiny Oscar

Oscar Isaac plus the author of Umbrella Academy? That might work

Sort of.

His character was built to sort of make commentary on Batman and alter-egos in general.

Wasn't the original name for that Kit Harrington? Or am I confusing him for another Marvel character to come?

I like this. He’s a good actor and deserves a true leading role. Very excited for Dune

i'd say like batman with a little bit of crazy. he also has super human abilities (strength, speed, endurance) depending on the phase of the moon. he was pretty dark.

his abilities are tied into Egyptian mythology if i remember correctly.

This is just A+ casting again from them. Marvel has been running circles around other studios in that dept. for years now. Impressive get

I get it but I am sick of the MCU.

Oscar Isaac is one of my favorite guys in the business right now. He could be better used elsewhere
