Oscar Isaac promises Disney+'s MoonKnight will take its mental health aspect seriously. 'Our job was to put a lens on the things that had the most dramatic juice and ultimately take the mental health aspect very seriously.'
Oscar Isaac promises Moon Knight will take its mental health aspect seriously and says the creative team's job was to put a lens on it. The upcoming series will mark Isaac's Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in which he stars as Steven Grant, a mild-mannered gift shop employee suffering from a sleep disorder and blackouts.
Alongside Isaac, the cast for Moon Knight includes Ethan Hawke as the antagonist Harrow, May Calamawy as Layla El-Faouly, a woman from Marc's past, Gaspard Ulliel as Midnight Man and F. Murray Abraham as the voice of Khonshu. The MCU series hails from The Umbrella Academy developer and upcoming Mortal Kombat 2 scribe Jeremy Slater with Mohamed Diab leading the directing team, which includes independent sci-fi/horror genre duo Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead.
"It's a real, legitimate character study. Our job was to put a lens on the things that had the most dramatic juice and ultimately take the mental health aspect very seriously." The exploration of mental health in film and TV is a tricky narrative to develop and has seen everything from the Oscar-winning One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest to the critically derided Me, Myself & Irene. Throughout development on Moon Knight, both Isaac and Marvel head Kevin Feige have confirmed that the show would seek to properly explore Marc coping with his dissociative identity disorder.
Isaac's promise that Moon Knight is taking the character's mental health seriously should hopefully assuage some of these concerns. Trailers shown for the series thus far have indicated a proper exploration of Marc's DID, namely as they've pointed towards a multitude of his identities being depicted and the extended screen time they appear to be getting. Only time will tell how audiences respond to this element when Moon Knight premieres on Disney+ on March 30.
