Oscar Isaac is Moon Knight

This one tho, is just *chef kiss*
An anti-hero that dresses in white because he wants his enemies to see him coming. Now that's badass. 👀
I need to start reading his comics immediately.This is real stupid but it's kinda why I love it

The problem people keep referring to even streaming-exclusive series as "TV series" which has its own connotations and expectations. People start expecting the time and budget constraints you'd expect from syndicated programming, the kind you see in series like Agents of SHIELD and the CW-verse.
You'd think people would've learned better from Mandalorian but alas.
This might be kinda spoilery, but Moon Knight acting in different tones/having different costumes is part and parcel with who he is.
I mean with Wandavision I'm basically expecting a 6 hour movie that has more time for character development and interesting divisive plots.
He does, they're just not terribly well known. They weren't around in the Ellis run but they were a big part of the Lemire run that followed.
Harrington was cast as Black Knight, not Moon Knight. He will be in Eternals
Harrington is officially cast in Eternals as Dane Whitman / Black Knight, he's never been rumored for Moon Knight
god I fucking hope his costume is comic book accurate. Plz don't taskmaster-ify it either. BRIGHT White cape. Or fuck off.
Is Oscar Isaac the most charming man alive? Like, whether he's playing a soulful sadboy, or a lovable scoundrel, or a type A sociopath, he's always likeable.
Yeah, I haven't read the Lemire run in a bit since I don't own it. My bad.
Personally not interested but worth of note how a lot of our ("our" -> North American) current best film stars get sucked into the super hero genre sooner or later. He's also doing the The Card Counter and playing Coppola in another film so all good with me!
Can he deal with all the ketamine though?
I've never read a Moon Knight comic and I'm still excited if only due to the MK memes

Huh, I thought he was done working with Disney after TROS.
Anyway, super hyped! Been a Moon Knight fan for a while and it's about time he broke into the mainstream.

Didn't he have mystical weapons made in the far past by Hawkeye for a while? Also his gadgets are hilariousThis casting would be as insane as Moon Knight is.
Also for the people asking
Shame mjolnir was destroyed, would have loved a scene where he was all....I can control your hammer because it was made with moon rocks!
Oscar is great casting, I wanted him as Mister Miracle so bad.

Damn this man just clowned Thor like that? That's kinda amazing.
Wonder if this show is going to be a period piece? We don't really know when this and Blade will be set.
I feel like Daredevil is deserving of that spot. But I suppose Moon Knight is an alternate Batman from a purely thematic standpoint.

I always consider Daredevil different from Bats because Matt actually has superpowers. I always kind of figured MK was a regular human with a shitload of training. Maybe I'm wrong about that?
It's gone back and forth alot and it's been basically written in why since it's because of his fragile and messed up mental state and because Khonshu is clearly real. He's manifested himself several times to others, taken over Marc even and granted power and it's been explained that he gives and takes from Marc depending on his faith. Marc has been driven mad by the precense of a god in him along with actually dying several times now and being resurrected by this god's power. He's mostly been power free since the late early 90s though, which is when Marc went full faith in his god so he was gifted magical artifacts and powers by Khonshu. But since then Marc's life has been a mess and he began to go nuts, so he's not been granted much power at all anymore, and his allegiance to Khonshu has been an ongoing battle in the last decade. But he hasn't really had powers for a long time outside some random bits of miracles that his god bestows on him once in a while for some reason, because Marc basically denies fully giving into Khonshu anymore.
Which could all make a fun arc for the show as they could play with those aspects and powers
Daredevil is also kind of a hero in his daily alter ego as his lawyer self, one of the dynamics of Daredevil which was his alter ego was very vital to his character at all times and not just some hinderance or his "daily life" when he didn't want to be a hero.... Matt was always a hero.
Moon Knight currently in modern books is essentially just a rich and well trained bad ass, essentially a batman. He has bouts of dealing with god powers cause he's got the Egyptian God of Vengeance pretty much in him. In Civil War for example the god took over Marcs body and used it to terrorize and get Marc accepted into the Avengers initiative without Marc even knowing. He's also basically healed Marc and brought him back from the dead... 3 times now? And other miraculous healing feats over the years
High quality limited series aren't anything new though. Not only the Mandalorian as you mentioned but, Netflix, HBO and Amazon have all done short run series of high quality. As long as they're mostly wrapping up the major plot points per season instead doing cliffhangers then any disappointment is all the fault of the viewer.
