Oscar Isaac To Star In Marvel And Disney+ Series, “Moon Knight”

Oscar Isaac is coming back to our screens sooner than we had thought.

Per Deadline, the Star Wars actor has been tapped to star in Marvel Cinematic Universe next project as the title character in Moon Knight, the Marvel and Disney+ series based on the comic book hero.

The report continued:

Jeremy Slater, who developed and wrote Netflix’s series adaptation of The Umbrella Academy comic books, has been tapped to develop and lead the writing team on the series for the streamer.

Moon Knight, aka Marc Spector, is a mercenary who has numerous alter egos — cabbie Jake Lockley and millionaire playboy Steven Grant — in order to better fight the criminal underworld. But later he was established as being a conduit for the Egyptian moon god Khonshu. Most recently, the character was a consultant who dresses in all-white and goes by the name Mr. Knight.

Marvel and Disney+ now will look to attach a director to the series. No production start date has been set. Marvel had no comment.
