Check out our interview with MoonKnight stars maycalamawy, who opens up about preparing for the role of Layla El-Faouly and swapping MCU secrets with her nephew:
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has opened up yet another part of the world with the studio's latest offering, Moon Knight, starring Oscar Isaac as the titular character. Now streaming on Disney+, the series also stars British-Egyptian actress May Calamawy as Layla El-Faouly, a woman with an important connection to one of the hero's alter egos.
How are you at keeping secrets? Are you more of a Tom Holland, or are you more of a Kevin Feige? Where are you on the scale?I told my 5-year-old nephew [some things]. He's a huge Marvel fan. He asked me some stuff about the show, and I told him. Then he went and told my brother, and my brother was really annoyed at me. I was like,"Why did I expect so much from a 5-year-old?" After that, I was like,"It's just more fun.
I had to really sit with what does that look like, and how would someone from there react to a situation versus someone from somewhere else. Something I love about our women is that their strength is sometimes a little unassuming. It's a very soft strength, but it's really there. And I was like,"How can I bring some of that to Layla?"
May Calamawy: We had two months. Before coming, I was like,"Guys, should I do some free running or learn how to climb?" And they were like,"No, no, no, come to us." For two months, two hours a day, I had to do stunt training. And then my own trainer came with me and trained me, so that was three hours of training a day.
Marvel has an expansive cast, and a lot of them go and support each other at the premieres. Who are you dying to meet?I have a lot of respect for Scarlett Johansson because she started this when it was all men, and that's not easy. She's another person I'd love to meet. I like all the women. I'm like,"I want to meet them." Lastly, a lot of people are wondering who Layla is.
