Moon Knight Season 2 Can’t Wait
Moon Knight is an American television miniseries created by Jeremy Slater for the Disney+ streaming service, based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name. It is the sixth television series in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) produced by Marvel Studios, sharing continuity with the films of the series. The series follows Marc Spector and Steven Grant, the two personalities of a man with dissociative personality disorder (DID), as they become embroiled in a mystery involving Egyptian gods. Slater serves as head writer with Mohamed Diab directing the team. Oscar Isaac stars as Marc Spector / Moon Knight and Steven Grant / Mr. Knight, with May Calamawy, Karim El Hakim, F. Murray Abraham, Ethan Hawke, Ann Akinjirin, David Ganly, Khalid Abdalla, Gaspard Ulliel, Antonia Salib, Fernanda Andrade, Rey Lucas, Sofia Danu, and Saba Mubarak also joining.
The series was announced in August 2019, with Slater hired in November. Diab was hired to direct four episodes in October 2020, with directing duo Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead joining in January 2021 to direct the remaining two. Isaac was confirmed to star at the time; he used different accents to differentiate Spector’s various identities. Filming took place from April to October 2021, primarily in Budapest as well as in Jordan, Slovenia, and Atlanta, Georgia. Moon Knight premiered on March 30, 2022, and ran for six episodes, concluding on May 4. It is part of Phase 4 of the MCU. The series received positive reviews, with particular praise for the acting (particularly Isaac, Calamawy, and Hawke), its darker tone compared to previous MCU series, and its portrayal of DID.
