“It never bothers me to make a character that is the same as myself. Interpretation is a craft for me, and I always look for greater challenges”commented isaac in a recent interview where he promoted Moon Knight. And it seems that this is one of the main reasons why the actor decided to accept the role.
“For an actor like me, the biggest challenge is to explore a life that seems on the surface to have nothing to do with mine, that [el personaje y yo] we do not have the same biography, which is completely different”Isaac continues. “And there is a challenge: how do I find authenticity, the truth in it, and where to settle. That’s why I love it Steve Grant. I love being in his shoes and he is one of my favorite characters I’ve ever done.”

Grant has dissociative identity disorder, and in their mind they are living three people: Steve Granta simple worker, Mark Specter, a mercenary, and Moon Knightthe superhero he becomes Spector.
isaac explained how I slowly created the characters and how mental health started to have more of an impact on the plot. “[La cuestión de la salud mental] it was in the script. Although not so focused on the language or how it feels to have it [un trastorno]. It was more like a part of the plot.”assured the actor. “And, for me, after finding Steventhat was the other most important part: it had to be the focus of the story, and it had to connect everything that happens with the truth of having this disorder.
One of the great challenges of the series is its plot and tone, quite different from the series we have already seen. The main objective of the series, according to Isaac, was to find the perfect balance between comedy and action typical of a movie of Marvel with serious topics like mental health. And according isaacconsider that they achieved this balance.
One of the things the actor appreciated most was that his opinions had some effect on the production of the series. When choosing the suit, the actor had a very important vote for the creation of what we now see as the clothing of Moon Knight. “And that was only part of what I did not expect to be so collaborative, from the costumes, the music, the directors, the castings… In each part of the production they asked me for my opinions, they involved me. That was incredible”said the actor.
Finally, the actor spoke about what could be the future of the character in the MCU. But don’t get your hopes up too high. isaac commented that at the moment there are no plans for the character to appear again. “At this time, there are no plans for more. Let’s see if people see it Disney+ and maybe there will be more of him in the future”said isaac very cautiously. “Although it is interesting to imagine him with punisher or the Ghost Rider”.
Whether or not the character reappears in the MCUwhat we do know is that we can see it from this March 30th on the screen of DisneyPlus. Moon Knight have six episodeswhich will be released weekly every Wednesday until May 4th, The day the season finale comes out.
