#Ethan Hawke Talks Moon Knight, Says Oscar Isaac Gives An “Absolutely Phenomenal” Performance

Who’s your favorite Ethan Hawke villain? That’s something of a trick question since, until recently, Hawke had a “no bad guy policy as an actor.” This is something we mentioned when reporting on his involvement in “Raymond and Ray,” an upcoming Apple TV+ series where he will play Ewan McGregor’s brother. Hawke broke his “no bad guy” rule to reteam with “Sinister” director Scott Derrickson for “The Black Phone,” and it would appear that he’s breaking it again for “Moon Knight.”

We don’t know many details about Hawke’s character in “Moon Knight,” and it’s possible that, as an actor, he might not view the character as a villain. However, in a recent appearance on “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” Hawke revealed that his character is inspired by cult leader David Koresh.

He mentioned that Marvel had made him sign a lot of NDAs, and this is something he reiterated in his interview with The Wrap. When asked if he was playing a known character within the Marvel universe, Hawke replied:

“I’ve signed 10,000 NDAs and they give me a hard time anytime I say anything about it. They’re very secretive about it. They like to create a lot of anticipation. But I understand why people love working for them. They’re extremely active, friendly. They do good world-building and create space for actors. If you want to play, they want you to play.”

“Moon Knight” hits Disney+ in 2022.
