Marvel waits for no man; the next Marvel TV show, "Moon Knight," comes out March 30, and it looks a little different from what we're used to. Oscar Isaac plays mild-mannered gift shop employee Steven Grant . . . as well as Marc Spector, a hardened mercenary with whom Grant shares a body. He has dissociative identity disorder, a first for a Marvel hero. The whole show looks darker and weirder than what we've seen before in the MCU.
Isaac himself talked about this new direction at a press conference covered by Collider. "When I looked at it and I talked with [producer Grant Curtis], Kevin [Feige] and [director Mohamed Diab], it just seemed like there was a real opportunity to do something completely different, particularly in the MCU, and to really focus on this internal struggle of this character and to use Egyptian iconography and the superhero genre and this language to talk about this real internal struggle that this person is having," the actor said. "Also, we could create an indelible, unusual character, particularly with Steven Grant. Once I got a real take on how I wanted to play Steven and I brought that to everyone, and they welcomed that with open arms, I also realized I had real incredible collaborators and it was gonna be a creative adventure."
