MOON KNIGHT: Oscar Isaac cast as Marvel Superhero in Disney+ TV Series

Oscar Isaac has been cast as Moon Knight

Oscar Isaac is in talks to star as the superhero Moon Knight in the live-action TV series of the same name on Disney+.

Isaac will play the role of Marc Spector / Moon Knight:

a former boxer, CIA agent, and mercenary, who found himself near death after being betrayed by his employer, Raoul Bushman, when they stumbled upon an archaeological dig, which Bushman intended to loot for profit. As he lay dying, Spector was approached by the Egyptian moon god Khonshu, who offered him a second chance at life in exchange for becoming his avatar on Earth.

As a result, Spector was resurrected and given superhuman abilities. Upon his return to the United States, he invested the money that he had accumulated as a mercenary to make a fortune, and became the crimefighter “Moon Knight.”

He also created multiple identities, most notably that of millionaire Steven Grant, to distance himself from his mercenary past, and of taxicab driver Jake Lockley, to remain in contact with the street and criminal element.

Produced by Marvel Studios under Kevin Feige, Jeremy Slater will executive produce, showrun, and write Moon Knight.

Marvel has not confirmed the casting of Oscar Isaac as Moon Knight but they have not denied this casting either.

There is no word yet when the production of Moon Knight will commence. Disney + has not revealed when Moon Knight will premiere on Disney+.
