Ethan Hawke seeing and portraying his character like it's not a villain gives it that genuine feel of a cult leader that actually believes they are the righteous one.
Mohamed Diab's obvious passion for this project and how he's thankful that Marvel allowed him to inject his own viewpoint into it really moved me. This looks like it could be something really special. I mean, it's hard not to with Oscar Isaac and Ethan Hawke, but Diab's contribution is clearly going to be the guiding factor between "really good" and "bloody great."
@@rudra.patel.001 Mostly because Rutger Hauer is the celebrity who looks the most like me. Although when I was a kid and still had color in my hair I looked a lot like little Ronnie Howard.
I think the director's passion to represent Egypt accurately helped the series a lot. The chemistry of the actors are so natural. And the way they balanced different genres is genius. I thought Marvel-disney can't create another genius series like WandaVision but here goes MoonKnight proving there's still more to explore.
@@alexdavis-mann8513 Strange take. I've been traveling to Egypt for 36 years. Wonderful place, so many beautiful places and amazing people. Perhaps you've had a bad experience there I don't know. What is so horrific?????
It's a shame the Hollywood snobs don't share that respect. Any artist who works on these pictures will tell you that this is no different from other cinema. These people are clearly passionate about these stories and characters.
@@DeLawrence97 agreed, the magic about these one season marvel shows is how impactful they become to the main story line of the mcu whilst giving us the viewers a SHOW format and wanting us wanting so much more with all these cliff hangers and story opening endings, I want more Moon Knight but like you said unless there is a amazing story to continue from I rather leave it
I won’t lie Oscar Isaac gets it, the appeal of moon knight and how he is open for interpretation. He’s not just a batman clone he’s so far more damaged who struggles not only with morality like batman but identity, faith and mentality
I'm happy Ethan Hawke was casted. Big fan of his work. I know he used to be a critic of superhero movies, but I'm glad that once he was actually in it he saw that it's not what it seems on the outside. Even tho a lot of ppl are upset that his character is entirely made up, it still feels like a character that would fit within the Moon Knight comics. So they're right, it's not about doing a 1:1, but more of capturing the spirit.
It's interesting that Ethan Hawke was against being in superhero movies and christian bale said that he would not do another one. Yet they are both playing villains in the mcu. Looks like marvel can be quite persuasive.
@@metallicnole4514 they get payed milions of dollars to play these roles. No matter what you think, Marvel can make you change your mind. Also, most actors are narcissists, they want to be seen in the most expensive and popular shows, and Marvel is here for that. I wouldn't be surprised if the next Avengers will be directed by Martin Scorsese.
@@damunaik4 It's a fusion and reinterpretation. The Harrow in the book is far from being an important Moon Knight villain and isn't the same. They just used the name since they needed a character nobody cared about so they could morph it to whatever they want it to be without fan backlash
@@babbonatale276 1:14 I feel like that's an overly-cynical way of looking at it, and more than that, I don't think that he's lying when he says that Oscar Isaac is the reason why he decided to be part of it (from what I've heard, Oscar Isaac actually called him). While the money helps, for a lot of people the opportunity to work with certain people is the main reason you'd want to be part of a production. I think it's just sort of inevitable that since Disney is a huge megacorporation constantly pumping money into superhero movies and TV shows for more than a decade, they have ended being associated with a lot of people that are appealing to work with in film, even for people who aren't huge comic book film stans. All things considered, it's taken him a while to be part of this comic book movie fad. A ridiculous number of award-winning actors and directors have been part of a superhero film production for the last 20 years. You like Academy-Award winning director Taika Waititi? Want to be in one of his movies? Guess what he's working on.
@@mxdmaxc i think they mean layla was meant to be marlene since marlene is marc's wife in the comics and has the same dead-dad-killed-by-marc story as layla
@@teo4232 yeah i know but mohamed diab (the director) said that they wanted to make her name alessa so they weren't even going for Marlene as far as i know😭
It's doesn't matter, just bc movie based the comic doesn't mean have to be 100% accurate, Like they change steven as the rich guy in the comic cuz it doesn't make sense to make him work at museum if he rich.
@@teo4232 Marlene wasn't Marc's wife in the comics, not even a gf per say! Layla's character is more related to the scarlet scarab comics character, her dad. and it's an original and refreshing character imo
As an Arab, i was so thrilled watching the show from start to end. It's always disappointing when a show/movie portrays our culture poorly or mistake it with a different culture like the movie Aladdin. I never felt this way watching Moon Knight and i really thought it was shot in Egypt. You can actually FEEL the passion put in representing the Egyptian culture. I knew the show was going to be special since the moment i read the director's name and knew he was Egyptian, i knew there will be no bullshit. I'm Arab but not Egyptian and i was genuinely happy because of this show so imagine how Egyptians are feeling!
Mohamed Diab has brought a very unqiue style to the show, and all the actors have blown it out of the park. This may be my favorite super hero show period.
I really can't believe that oscar could have done something this epic the emotional and psychological depthness of marc and Steven is astonishingly different and yet he portrays this so brilliantly
Layla reminds me so much of Evie, from Brendan Fraser Mummy, I hope she becomes a famous/successful actress just like Rachel Weiz. Egyptology has always been something I'm interested if and believe is a rich source of ideas for science fiction and also for horror fiction too.
All the dudes here praising the male actors but May's portrayal of Layla was what really kept me hooked. Her character is like Laura Croft but more mature and sensible, plus all the action and facial expressions she does is amazing
Oscar Isaac gave us one of the best performances playing both Marc Spector, Steven Grant and Moon Knight at the same time, especially in episode 5, what a dedication to the role, what drama, and what a story and scenario, it really is a masterpiece, i wishes to see more about Oscar Isaac characters specaly Jake Lockley that well perhapce see in the last episode. however, I really want to know more about the character played by Ethan Hawke, Arthur Harrow, because as we know he was Khonshu's apostle before Marc Spector, and he also shares deep past traumas, just like Spector, I hope Marvel will bring us deeper into the story of this character, how he whent from khonshu's apostle in to Ameth. finally i really hope Layla El-Faouly will be present as Red Scarab in futur projects cause there's an easter egg with Layla's father red scarf with a scarab symbol.
oscar must've had a blast flexing all his acting chops between so many different characters and situations. it's encouraging to see how his enthusiasm can attract other talents to join the cause
This show proves yet again that the folks at Marvel seriously know how to cast the right actors for the job and they know how to let that talent run wild. Everyone was fantastic. Oscar, May, Abraham, and Ethan were all amazing 👏
Brilliant show - the directing, acting and editing are phenomenally good. Hands down the best opening episode of any Marvel show. And I love that the director is Egyptian and understands the culture inside out. Cannot wait for the next episodes!!
I totally agree on the Egyptology and keeping it aunthentic. Tom Cruise movie interpretation of the Mummy involves so much butchering of the Egyptian mythos and aesthetics, that it looks so alien was one of the reasons it failed spectacularly.
20:10 “I would say watch it a couple times.” Me on my third watch through this week: I’m just trying to understand the the plot, appreciate the best acting performance I’ve seen in my entire life, and pick up on all the little details. I don’t see how people can watch this once. There’s no way someone’s absorbing the content from one watch through. This is the most rewatchable show I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen ATLA and The Office 10+ times through each. Watching Moon Knight feels like solving one of the most satisfying puzzles ever.
This was a fantastic series. This is exactly the sort of show that delivers on the promise of the Disney+ streaming model. It takes a bunch of risks and does things way outside of the norm for a Marvel show - it would be really hard to make a movie like this, but wonderful that it exists.
Coming back here after ep 6 and knowing that everthing they said about the show was so absolutely right is so endearing. I'm so in love with these characters! Moon knight became my favorite marvel show so far.
Respect to the director for helping us understand that different parts of the world are different and we do not have to have bad interpretation of how we think it is, would love to go Egypt , love the culture and everything surrounding the myths of old.
I love that people from different countries around the world are seeing themselves as these superhero’s. I can’t imagine the excitement. It’s a sociological development in cinema and marvel.
This show was so good. I didn’t know the character beforehand but honestly, Moon Knight probably my favorite mcu character now. I really hope they’re going to make a season 2 !!
Say what you want about Marvel and big money, but to hear it first hand from the director with how much freedom they’ve been given, it’s pretty great and very inspiring to continue enjoying what marvel brings to cinema.
The passion and skills everyone put into Moon Knight really shines, and it's everyone who worked on the show that makes it so good! A season 2 seriously needs to be approved
"Watch it a couple times." May is right, so far I've seen each released episode 3 times and it's still so interesting and you look at everything so many different ways. And I think this shows does this so well, it really captures you and spreads a great message :D
MCU writers are indeed THE best in television history. And Oscar Isaac--omg, that man, is a world-class actor. His physical transformations when acting out multiple different characters at once, are nothing short of astounding--and frightening! I have nothing but respect for his craft.
I really liked the switch of Harrow under ''Dr.Harrow'' identity in the underworld realm, hes such a sweet guy that actually tries to help Marc. Says it all that these actors are so incredible in their job that is it a A+ tier class performance!
Absolutely love this show - first time I've cried, laughed and cheered out loud watching a marvel production, and I love Marvel. My husband and I have watched it straight through more than once and noticed new details every time. Everyone did an amazing job.
I’m Egyptian and marvel fan and I’m so thankful that Mohamed showed Egypt as how it really is not just desert and camels as always people think it’s like that he showed it’s Beaty
i really love this interview because you can see how passionate all of the actors and Mohamed is about the show, the fact that Oscar was so interested in the comics and the character was awesome, i love this show so far and i love everyone behind it, i cant wait to see how it ends and where the character goes from there
I think this is the second time that Marvel chose a director that already picked the music for a project. First time was with Taika Waititi and his montage with Immigrant Song. Now Moon Knight. And in both cases, the music is a huge part of the project. Who can forget that scene in Ragnarok? And now I'm obsessed with almost all the songs that were featured in Moon Knight. Starting with Engelbert Umperdinck!
Mohamed talking about breaking stereotypes and all I can think is how he straight up looks like he could be playing Ramsés in the latest live action adaptation of the Exodus.
@@nachtschatten8710 Easter was right around the corner (still ongoing in some places) so that's what immediately came to mind. TV spams Bible adaptations over and over.
You guys did a great job, I am a Marvel Fan, and have been one since 1972. I did not expect Moon Knight to work. Bringing in Layla as a new superhero was a good move.
You're not going to say the same about May? She has been tremendous, as well. But Oscar Isaac has obviously been nothing short of perfect. It's the best performance ever, in my opinion.
Each and every person speaks so passionately about their part, so well researched about their character s. That's what the difference between most of MCU people and the whole Eternals clan who had no idea what they were doing. None of their interviews were so in depth like this, it was like they joined MCU for the superhero name, the costume and the paycheck. Listening to Oscar, Ethan, May and Diab talking so passionately makes u believe in the project more than ever 👏👏👏
I wouldn't be so harsh on them. They went in with the right intentions, but unfortunately the material just wasn't there and the representation just felt like window dressing.
@@lex_rodriguez Kumail and Salma, who tried to sell the movie so hard in every press despite not being in the movie for long, but rest of the cast were not even sure what they wanna sell 😂 i've never seen any Marvel bunch so dispassionate bout their own characters 🤭 especially Angelina jolie 🤣
I have never been to Egypt but I have lived abroad. Watching most movies just feels like a vacation in a country other than that of your origin. Watching Moon Knight felt like MOVING (temporarily) to another country. Super impressed!
I just can't fathom that this is just a TV show; but the level of talent, excitement and emotional on this show makes me sad that it's only 6 episode long.
Music is on different level. I loved it. Also the ending is wonderful. Everytime I was waiting for the ending part with music and visual, when there are the scenes from series and when we have three parts cutting face of Moon Knight Steven, Mark and Jake, also there is Mr. Harrow. I wish Layla was there too.
All three if then did really good jobs with their characters. Hawke playing Harrow, Harrow was a great villian.... cult leader type, but a real believer himself. When he met Ammit, he was down for the cause for sure. Isaac's as moon knight and Mr. But as Steven, Marc, and Lockley. Bro killed it. May did a good job of a character that loved someone but had a distain for them at the same time, thinking Marc is one way in their relationship but finding out it's something way different going on. Then bringing the Scarab, she had a bad ass outfit and powers.those wings were sick.
One thing that I love about the people connected to Marvel movies is the passion and love they have for what they do. You can tell how much these people love this project and it really comes thru on the screen. I think that is what really makes all these Marvel projects so special.
Good music choice in this video. Makes you connect with everyone that was interviewed and appreciate the effort that everyone put into this show. Best show on TV after euphoria
Moon Knight is absolute proof Oscar Isaac can act. Man can he act! I can't think of anyone else that could have done the job that he did and if anyone else could have pulled it off. I
This show is phenomenal. The cast needs an Enemy. The soundtrack is just stunning. The ultimate love letter from Marvel to the beautiful Asian/Middle Eastern fans they have out there. Thank you for respecting Egyptian culture and history!!! Love to everyone out there!!
3:53 I agree so much - great villans are the ones that do something morally questionable but reasonable and in this series it worked well. This is huge difference looking on how DC destroyed Lex Luthor in movies - as well great villan. Well, Marvel does it right.
This is why I love the MCU. They continuously strive for creator authenticity and to let their creatives really run with their visions. This seems obvious now, and yet everything outta Hollywood prior to this was inevitably some white-washed parody of reality.
Seeing the director and those actors all together in this interview is such an heartwarming and connected feelings. even the music in the background is so chilling and that makes the interview better. what is the name of the music please?
Thank you very much for your nice words. The background song called "Dreamer" by the artist Hazy. You can also listen to the track here: th-cam.com/video/ivWtGjQ7H8c/w-d-xo.html
I love moon knight I think it's absolutely amazing and as a person who wants to be a actor i find it absolutely incredible and I take in all the details

I love interviews and other Behind The Scenes things./Footage.The performances and series are excellent.🙂
Good lord bird, Dune and now Moon Knight. Ethan and Oscar are on fire. Good job guys!!!!
Yeah.. he's great. I even thought that now the guy who's got interviewed there, is one of Marc's personality too as an actor 😂.
This is a true masterpiece of a show and I so wish there was more to come.
You guys did a great job, I am a Marvel Fan, and have been one since 1972. I did not expect Moon Knight to work. Bringing in Layla as a new superhero was a good move.
so happy for and proud of mohamed diab :) love seeing cairo as cairo and LOVE the arabic songs on the amazing soundtrack
Egyptian songs you mean
@@mahaelsakka9958 lol yeah egyptian songs which are actually in arabic...
The casting of Issac and Ethan is top tier. They have been amazing. Edit: the finale was horrible in my opinion.
I second THIS!
And it’s crazy how Oscar convinced Ethan to be a part of the show by casually meeting at a coffee shop!
You're not going to say the same about May? She has been tremendous, as well. But Oscar Isaac has obviously been nothing short of perfect. It's the best performance ever, in my opinion.
@@Tcrror silence simp
Facts!!!!
Each and every person speaks so passionately about their part, so well researched about their character s. That's what the difference between most of MCU people and the whole Eternals clan who had no idea what they were doing. None of their interviews were so in depth like this, it was like they joined MCU for the superhero name, the costume and the paycheck. Listening to Oscar, Ethan, May and Diab talking so passionately makes u believe in the project more than ever 👏👏👏
I wouldn't be so harsh on them. They went in with the right intentions, but unfortunately the material just wasn't there and the representation just felt like window dressing.
@@lex_rodriguez Kumail and Salma, who tried to sell the movie so hard in every press despite not being in the movie for long, but rest of the cast were not even sure what they wanna sell 😂 i've never seen any Marvel bunch so dispassionate bout their own characters 🤭 especially Angelina jolie 🤣
I really enjoyed Moon Knight from start to finish. It's well directed, the story feels thought out and the characters are very well acted out.
I have never been to Egypt but I have lived abroad. Watching most movies just feels like a vacation in a country other than that of your origin. Watching Moon Knight felt like MOVING (temporarily) to another country. Super impressed!
I just can't fathom that this is just a TV show; but the level of talent, excitement and emotional on this show makes me sad that it's only 6 episode long.
Music is on different level. I loved it. Also the ending is wonderful. Everytime I was waiting for the ending part with music and visual, when there are the scenes from series and when we have three parts cutting face of Moon Knight Steven, Mark and Jake, also there is Mr. Harrow. I wish Layla was there too.
The song choices thus far is spectacular 🌙🤍
the whole cast and everyone else did so amazing, i loved the show and god, i desperately need more MK in the future
What a great bunch of talented people. Love hearing things from their point of view
ok the four of them are some of my new favorite people, i really hope marvel expands this little bubble universe because they're all so fantastic
I love it that your bringing out the mental health aspect. Big props to Disney.
All three if then did really good jobs with their characters. Hawke playing Harrow, Harrow was a great villian.... cult leader type, but a real believer himself. When he met Ammit, he was down for the cause for sure. Isaac's as moon knight and Mr. But as Steven, Marc, and Lockley. Bro killed it. May did a good job of a character that loved someone but had a distain for them at the same time, thinking Marc is one way in their relationship but finding out it's something way different going on. Then bringing the Scarab, she had a bad ass outfit and powers.those wings were sick.
Everyone in this project is just gold. I love Moon Knight
Best Marvel Disney Plus show
One thing that I love about the people connected to Marvel movies is the passion and love they have for what they do. You can tell how much these people love this project and it really comes thru on the screen. I think that is what really makes all these Marvel projects so special.
damn, they really cared about this and it shows... respect
Watching this was so healing😩💯 I loved everyone’s voice and input
One thing I just noticed is that the logo is surroounded by a catouche. That is a nice low-key touch.
Oscar deserves the Oscar!!!
Least ammount of additional photography.... Emmy for that team right now
Good music choice in this video. Makes you connect with everyone that was interviewed and appreciate the effort that everyone put into this show. Best show on TV after euphoria
What is that music playing at the back?
All of them are great and moonknight might be the best superhero storyline bcs its very unique and for some ppl kind of relatable
So far Moon Knight is my favorite Marvel show on Disney+, Loki was my second favorite.
I agree
I agree
First 3 eps of Wandavision before the curtain was pulled back + the entire 6 episode run of Moonknight are in a class of their own
Moon Knight is absolute proof Oscar Isaac can act. Man can he act! I can't think of anyone else that could have done the job that he did and if anyone else could have pulled it off. I
I absolutely *love* how the director dude consistently mentions, praises, and gives due respect to his wife. I really, really love that.
Respect. ✊🏾
Wow, I think this is the best interview I watched so far. Thank you for uploading it!
This show is phenomenal. The cast needs an Enemy. The soundtrack is just stunning. The ultimate love letter from Marvel to the beautiful Asian/Middle Eastern fans they have out there. Thank you for respecting Egyptian culture and history!!! Love to everyone out there!!
i think in the world without benedict cumberbatch, ethan hawk will be dr strange
He's the first choice for Dr Strange
I concur!
21:35 great lesson here 🙌
I am so thankful that we are getting almost 6 hours of my favourite comic book hero! 🙏🌙🔥
3:53 I agree so much - great villans are the ones that do something morally questionable but reasonable and in this series it worked well. This is huge difference looking on how DC destroyed Lex Luthor in movies - as well great villan. Well, Marvel does it right.
such a proud moment as an Egyptian seeing Mohamed Diab talking about how he wanna portray Egypt .
This is why I love the MCU. They continuously strive for creator authenticity and to let their creatives really run with their visions. This seems obvious now, and yet everything outta Hollywood prior to this was inevitably some white-washed parody of reality.
Seeing the director and those actors all together in this interview is such an heartwarming and connected feelings.
even the music in the background is so chilling and that makes the interview better. what is the name of the music please?
Thank you very much for your nice words. The background song called "Dreamer" by the artist Hazy. You can also listen to the track here: th-cam.com/video/ivWtGjQ7H8c/w-d-xo.html
@@STREAMWARS thank you so much!!
I love moon knight I think it's absolutely amazing and as a person who wants to be a actor i find it absolutely incredible and I take in all the details
We want a movie!
