Phase 4 of the MCU is taking us down new and different paths. Now, Marvel Studios has confirmed the “biggest change” to its stories.
Marvel Studios it is very close to brand new moon knight. It will be next March 30 in Disney+. After a long wait of three months since the last release of the MCU Phase 4fans are looking forward to getting into the tortured psychology of Marc SpectorOscar Isaaca hero endowed with superpowers thanks to Konshūthe Egyptian god of the moon.
There are many elements that will be presented for the first time in the Marvel Cinematic Universe thanks to moon knight. However, one of them is the “internationality” or “globalization” of history. The plot will not take place entirely in New York City or with a major role in the New York city, as we are used to. In fact, the series will not set foot in the United States. The show’s story will take the audience and the hero to London and Egypt, unusual places in the MCU.
But why did Marvel Studios decide to make this change with this character? Despite everything, in the comics, apart from the origin story in Egypt, the so-called “Fist of Konshu” usually operates as a vigilante in New York City. With him there are dozens of superheroes who do the same. The answer, of course, is that there are already too many people covering Manhattan in the cinematic universe.
“There are already too many superheroes in New York,” said Oscar Isaac
During the virtual press conference of moon knight (via TheDirect), Oscar Isaac was asked about the accents in his performance. The Marvel Studios actor also took the opportunity to explain why the series takes place outside of New York. «I asked why the show was set in London and was told there were too many characters in New York already. It seems that things are going to change“, explained the interpreter. «Luckily, I love English humour. There is a lot of English humor in the series«.
Oscar Isaac also mentioned that he had the London Jewish community in mind when preparing for the role, not just in terms of accent. He paid a lot of attention to the identity of his character. This is how the Marvel Studios actor explained it: «I thought about the Jewish community in London, where great for that community comes from. Enfield is one of the places. I began to hear different accents, similar to North East London. I committed to that sound, although it wasn’t just about the accent. I also tried to impress shyness, the need to connect with people without knowing very well how«.
Thus, the “biggest change” that we will see in this Phase 4 of the UCM will be the notable absence of New York. Interestingly, the trailer for kamala khan the other day he showed us the image of Manhattan… but it was from afar! The female character lives in New Jersey and her story takes place there. and the movie of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness It will take us to different places in different universes.
