Oscar Isaac who plays the titular hero also discussed his process of learning about Moon Knight, describing it as a "real, legitimate character study.” Marvel’s big boss, Kevin Feige praises Moon Knight being a spectacular hero with an “incredibly unique visual look.” Isaac also shared that they want to put things into the “most dramatic juice,” and how to deal with the mental health problems of the character seriously.
The director of the series, Mohamed Diab, shared how they decided to go with the story flow from learning about Steve Grant to discovering Marc Spector whilst being in the same person. May Calamawy, the actress who plays Layla, described the show to be “Fight Club meets Indiana Jones,” an interesting mix of the tone of two well-known films into one series.
