I was looking forward to watching this program
This Moon Knight Miniseries was Pretty Good.
Pros: Oscar Isaac was very good at playing a character that had dissociative identity disorder (DID). This miniseries looked and felt so different from other MCU Projects and how much hard work went into this show.
Cons: The main villain didn’t do that much for me & the same thing you can say about the Layla El-Faouly character. The dialogue was hard for me at times & the show failed to make me connect to the moon knight character like others.
Casts & Crew:
- Oscar Isaac as Marc Spector / Moon Knight, Steven Grant / Mr. Knight , and Jake Lockley:
Marc Spector is a Jewish-American mercenary with dissociative identity disorder (DID) who becomes the avatar for the Egyptian moon god Khonshu, - May Calamawy as Layla El-Faouly / Scarlet Scarab:
An archeologist and adventurer, who is Spector’s wife and is aware he is Moon Knight. El-Faouly was originally not Egyptian, - Karim El Hakim and F. Murray Abraham as Khonshu:
The Egyptian moon god, an outcast amongst the gods for waging a “one-god war on perceived injustices”, thus necessitating him to find and use his avatar, - Ethan Hawke as Arthur Harrow:
A religious zealot and cult leader associated with the Egyptian goddess Ammit looking to exact justice and judgment based on future crimes. - Ann Akinjirin as Bobbi Kennedy: A British police officer and follower of Harrow’s cult.
- David Ganly as Billy Fitzgerald: A British police officer and follower of Harrow’s cult.
- Khalid Abdalla as Selim: The avatar of Osiris and leader of the council of Egyptian gods.
- Gaspard Ulliel as Anton Mogart: A wealthy antiquities collector living in Egypt and an old acquaintance of Layla’s.
- Antonia Salib as Taweret: The hippopotamus-headed Egyptian goddess of childbirth and fertility, who acts as a protector of mothers and children. Salib provides the voice and motion capture performance for the character.
- Fernanda Andrade as Wendy Spector: Marc’s mother and Elias’ wife.
- Rey Lucas as Elias Spector: Marc’s father and Wendy’s husband.
- Sofia Danu and Saba Mubarak as Ammit: The imprisoned Egyptian goddess whom Harrow plans to release. Danu provides the on-set performance, while Mubarak voices the character.
Additionally, Lucy Thackeray, Saffron Hocking, and Alexander Cobb portray Grant’s co-workers Donna, Dylan, and J.B., respectively. Shaun Scott portrays the living statue Crawley, Díana Bermudez portrays Yatzil, the avatar of the Egyptian goddess of love Hathor, Loic Mabanza plays Mogart’s bodyguard Bek, and Claudio Fabian Contreras portrays Marc’s younger brother Randall.
I recommend this miniseries on Disney+ to anyone who is a fan of Marvel.
