Is there a franchise other than the Marvel Cinematic Universe that's as skilled at lending its most mediocre titles an air of essentiality by hiring A-list talent? Even if there were a contender, the outright volume of interrelated titles and relationship upkeep places the MCU in a plane of reality by itself.
Marvel's latest entry "Moon Knight" stars Oscar Isaac, the man who gifted Poe Dameron to the "Star Wars" universe, with Ethan Hawke playing the adversary to Isaac's hero and features the voice of Oscar-winner F. Murray Abraham. Quite a lineup to sell a hero mainly known to deep-diving comics enthusiasts, and one with Orientalist leanings to boot.
