Most people who commit terrible crimes in this world don't wake up in the morning and say, ‘I'm the bad guy.' They have their reasons, and [the road to] hell is paved with their reasons. So as an actor I had to come up with Harrow's reasons and make them as rational and sane and compelling as possible.”May Calamawy (Ramy) steps into the MCU as archeologist Layla El-Faouly who can be Spector's spouse, Isaac has revealed in interviews.

Moon Knight season 2?

“I dream and wish for a film,” Moon Knight director Diab stated when requested concerning the future. “But with Marvel, the way they play it, it's not like you graduate into a film. You can go into a film and come to a TV show and go back … It's like a crazy world. Even with the successful shows, like WandaVision, they're not doing season 2. She jumped into a film. Maybe she's going to come back or not. I don't know. And that's exciting.”The director added, “But I can tell you for a fact, I can see [Moon Knight] in the next 10 years, not just the next film. He's a very interesting character. He's probably the most interesting character for any actor to play. Oscar is doing a great job. People already like him, even from the trailer. I think the show's going to resonate with people, so I see him staying for a long time.”That's greater than what Hawke supplied when he was requested about Moon Knight season 2: “The good news is that it's possibly both.
