Oscar Isaac looks ahead to the MoonKnight finale and discusses its overarching emotional arc: 'What I can say is that what we really tried to do is map out the journey of integration...'
Oscar Isaac gives a spoiler-free preview of how Moon Knight will end for its central characters. This Wednesday marks the eagerly anticipated premiere of Moon Knight, Marvel Studios' latest live-action Disney+ series. It was first announced in 2019, though MCU boss Kevin Feige has long been interested in bringing the character to the franchise. Isaac was cast in the lead role of Marc Spector in late 2019, making this his latest high-profile genre project after Star Wars and Dune.
For the show, Isaac plays more than just Marc, who has dissociative identity disorder. Marc has multiple personalities that live inside him, and Isaac has spoken at length about how he approached playing them. So far, the most prominent alters in Moon Knight are Marc and unassuming Brit Steven Grant, who appears to be the one in charge when the series begins. Steven is haunted by memories and sleepless nights, but it won't be long before he begins to learn the truth about his reality.
I wouldn't want to spoil anything, but what I can say is that what we really tried to do is map out the journey of integration and then how that is a step in healing from trauma, and that the real superpower that this character, or these characters, have is their experiences. And when those things can be integrated, as opposed to pushed away, that's where real strength comes from.
The idea of a Marvel project concluding with an emotional achievement might seem rather strange, though there are obviously bits about the Moon Knight ending that Isaac can't divulge just yet. Staying with the"journey of integration" that Isaac described, it sounds like the series will tell a contained story for Marc and his personalities, giving all of them real development.
They also support Isaac's frequent remarks about how Moon Knight is the MCU's first true character study since Iron Man. Rather than prioritizing what this series can do for the franchise's overall plot, this series has focused on the internal journeys of its characters, and that's an exciting thing.
