Oscar Isaac in Moon Knight (2022)
Marvel's "Moon Knight" opens with cult leader Arthur Harrow, played by Ethan Hawke, listening to Bob Dylan while ritualistically putting shards of glass in his own sandals. The scene was Hawke's own creation, and the actor admits that his experience playing Reverend Toller in Paul Schrader's 'First Reformed' (2017) inspired the scene. "Moon Knight" star Oscar Isaac also admits that Schrader's influence was felt on the set, having himself just starred in the filmmaker's intense drama 'The Card Counter' (2021). Directors Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead, plus executive producer Grant Curtis also sound off on the importance of Hawke's storytelling prowess and the collaborative experience of a Marvel Studios set.

    • Trivia
      In one scene, Steven Grant passes by a QR code on a museum wall. The QR code actually works and when scanned, it redirects to a page on the official Marvel website where it's possible to read a free digital copy of "Werewolf By Night #32", originally published in 1975, where Moon Knight made his Marvel Comics debut. After the following episodes were released, the QR code redirected to the comics related to the latest episode.
    • Goofs
      Incorrectly Regarded as goof

      Although Steven Grant misses two days (Friday and Saturday) this does not mean any of his other alter egos did not go to his work either, as earlier in the episode it is established at least one of his other personalities interacts with the people in his workplace, and therefore could have been present in Steven's place. In addition, museums in London are open on weekends, meaning that is is feasible that Steven would not have a typical Monday to Friday work schedule ans simply not supposed to be at work Friday and Saturday.

    There's chaos in you
    I found this to be a really solid pilot episode, probably one of Marvel's better ones.

    We meet a new character to the MCU canon and learn just enough to want to keep watching. It is a very twisty forty-something minutes of television compared to most of Marvel's other stuff so maybe some who want everything explained precisely out-rifht won't get in to it... I thought it was fairly easy to follow. I've wanted to see Moon Knight on screen for a good while and Oscar Isaac's acting, along with the directing and visual flair, was more than enough to get me into it.

    I did notice some pretty weak effects a few times. I'm not sure what that's all about. Other than that, I throughly enjoyed it and I already love the main character.
