With Marvel’s newest series, Moon Knight, arriving on March 30th on Disney+, I recently got to speak with Executive Producer Grant Curtis about making the series. During the interview, Curtis revealed how Kevin Feige was instrumental in coming up with the plan for the series and it harkens back to when he visited an Egyptian art exhibit as a child, why the Disney+ platform is the perfect place to introduce the character, what fans would be surprised to learn about the making of Moon Knight, how even Ethan Hawke was blown away by the incredible sets built for the series, how they used the comics to helped them write the series, and what he knows about Moon Knight Season 2 or any future plans with the character.

If you are not familiar with Moon Knight, the series follows Steven Grant (Oscar Isaac), a mild-mannered gift-shop employee at a London museum, who becomes plagued with blackouts and memories of another life. Steven soon discovers he has dissociative identity disorder and shares a body with mercenary Marc Spector, a former U.S. Marine whose been given supernatural abilities by the Egyptian moon god Khonshu. As Steven and Marc’s enemies converge upon them, they must navigate their complex identities while thrust into a deadly mystery among the powerful gods of Egypt.

Moon Knight also stars May Calamawy (Ramy), Gaspard Ulliel, and F. Murray Abraham as the voice of Khonshu. The series is directed by Mohamed Diab (episodes 1, 3, 5 and 6) and Synchronic duo Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead (episodes 2 and 4). It's produced by Marvel maestro Kevin Feige, along with Grant Curtis, Tommy Turtle and Jeremy Slater.

Check out what Grant Curtis had to say in the player above and below is exactly what we talked about.
