MOON KNIGHT Director Explains The Two Separate Costumes in The Series
A new episode of Moon Knight dropped today and fans will get to continue this wild adventure that Marvel is taking us on. While we enjoy that, one of the directors of the series, Mohamed Diab, opens up about the two different characters that Oscar Isaac plays and the costumes that they wear. One of the characters is Marc Spector, who's Moon Knight, and the other is Steven Grant who’s Mr. Knight.
When discussing the reason behind the two different costumes for the characters, Diab explained:
"Ironically, we started with Steven having Moon Knight and Marc having Mr. Knight, ironically, but that's one of the best thing about taking your time and developing things. You start realizing no, no, no, this costume is for this guy. This is what works for them. And we realize what's the logic. The logic should be that each one of them inspires his suit. So the suit is inspired by who you are, or what you love, or what's your imagination of a suit. That's why Steven who's completely away from the superhero world, his cool thing is when they tell him summon the suit, it's a suit. It's an almost Armani suit. So it made sense. But I loved that he had two suits and the one that we worked even more on was the Moon Knight suit."
The filmmaker went on to offer some additional insight on the suits, saying:
"I love how different it is from everything that we saw before in any superhero. But I think it tells a lot about the story. You can look at the suit and dissect, you can see the crescent in his, that he pulls. And it's a weapon. You see how he's mummified and the cape and the weaponry, and you see the hieroglyphs on him. It's just such an interesting thing. And on the other hand, as a director, I was scared a lot more from Mr. Knight's suit because a white suit like that could look so bad on camera. And it could be silly and it could be weird. But ironically, the moment Oscar stepped in, we felt... it's very cool. And we actually try to think of moments that we can expand it even more."
I had a lot of fun watching the first four episodes of this series so far, and fans are in for a treat when they get to episode four. Directors Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead previously teased that episode 4 contains a “big, mind-bending swing that makes you reconsider some of the stuff you’ve seen.”
I’m extremely curious to see what exactly is going to happen after episode four!
