MoonKnight head writer reveals how Ethan Hawke's casting completely changed the ArthurHarrow character:
✖ Ethan Hawke was fated to play a Marvel villain in Moon Knight. The four-time Oscar-nominated actor stars opposite Oscar Isaac as Arthur Harrow, a cult leader resolved to unleash the Egyptian god Ammit and her"divine retribution.
Slater added of the Training Day actor,"The second Oscar came to everyone and said, 'Look, I think I can get Ethan Hawke in this.' We quickly abandoned the idea of an older Harrow because when you get a chance to get Ethan Hawke, you take it." Calling his MCU role"one of the simplest, most organic things that has ever happened to me in my career," Hawke told Marvel.com he was in talks with director and executive producer Mohamed Diab about a different project that went on the backburner when Marvel Studios hired Diab to direct Moon Knight.
"[Oscar's like], 'Hey, you know, I'm doing this Marvel show. You should play the villain.' I'm like, 'Who's directing?'" Hawke said."Before dinner, I'd gotten a call from my agent saying, 'Hey, we just got this offer from Marvel' ."
