Marvel Hires Mohamed Diab To Direct Its MOON KNIGHT Series

Marvel Studios has found its director to take on its Disney+ Moon Knight series. They’ve hired Clash helmer Mohamed Diab to take it on. I’m not familiar with the Egyptian filmmaker or his projects, but Marvel obviously liked his vision for the series if they went ahead and hired him on.

The news comes not long after it was announced that Oscar Isaac would be taking on the lead role of Marc Spector a.k.a. Moon Knight in the series. The character has multiple different alter egos including millionaire Steven Grant and cab driver Jake Lockley. These alter egos may or may not be separate, alternate personalities, and the same may be true of Khonshu, the Egyptian deity who is either guiding Spector through his costumed adventures or a figment of Spector’s imagination. Most recently, the character was a consultant who dresses in all-white and goes by the name Mr. Knight.

I’ve got to say, it’s actually kind of cool that they tapped an Egyptian director to bring this story to life that deals with an Egyptian deity. It’ll be interesting to see what his vision for the series and this character will be.

Moon Knight was created by Doug Moench and Don Perlin and appeared in the August 1975 issue Werewolf by Night #32. Jeremy Slater (The Umbrella Academy) and Beau DeMayo (The Originals and The Witcher) writing the series. No production start date has been set.

The Moon Knight series is also rumored to tie into Marvel’s Blade movie, and Werewolf by Night, Stained Glass Scarlet, and Dracula could be involved with the story as well.
