Hot on the heels of word that Oscar Isaac is in talks to star in Marvel's Disney+ series Moon Knight is news that the show has a main director. Clash filmmaker Mohamed Diab will oversee the early episodes.
Isaac is locking in a deal to play the title character Moon Knight, aka Marc Spector, 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.
Jeremy Slater is running the show on the writing front, but there's no official start date for the show to kick off shooting. And Marvel, naturally, is staying quiet about confirming either the casting or director stories. Diab, meanwhile, has his next film, Amira, due next year.
