Oscar Isaac to play Moon Knight in Disney+ Series

Oscar Isaac to play Moon Knight in Disney+ Series


So last night had some big news but this has to be the biggest, it has been reported that Star Wars star Oscar Isaac will play Marc Spector AKA Moon Knight in the MCU for a Disney+ Series. Now obviously this is big news and this is what I think about it. 

Isaac can nail the multiple personalities

For those that don't know Moon Knight is a mercenary who has multiple personalities, that range from billionaire to Taxi Driver and that requires a top quality actor and it seems they have got that. Isaac is super talented and his star power will get people interested in a character that isn't well known except for big comic book fans. 

He can get comic book redemption after Apocalypse

Oscar Isaac has played a Marvel character before when he played Apocalypse in the X:Men film of the same name and let's just say he wasn't given quality to work with which led to a really mediocre performance. But with the interesting and unique character that Moon Knight is and the fact that they have multiple episodes means he can really sink himself into the role. 

Shows that Disney are serious about these shows

With the casting we have seen for the Disney+ shows they haven't been huge names but this changes that. Isaac is a huge name with huge projects so it shows just how invested Disney are in not only Moon Knight but these Disney+ Shows and with this casting I think there is a good chance that we see Moon Knight on the big screen at some point. 

Overall

Overall, this news really came out of nowhere and is really exciting. Isaac is a fantastic actor and will be given plenty to work with Moon Knight, also it means Marvel are progressing with this show which means there will be plenty of Disney+ Marvel content coming our way over the next few years.
