Kevin Feige tried to find a good project with which to bring him on board, according to the man. He was very excited when Moon Knight showed up. I saw this opportunity to talk about something that is often difficult to talk about, but using the language of comics, myth, and the Underworld to talk about the Underworld of the Human Psyche.
He mentioned that he was lucky to have his brother on set with him when he was preparing for the role. He was able to switch roles and perfect the mannerisms that made each identity distinct. We would play different parts and I would remember what he did and I would do my version. I had my lines in my ear. It was a challenge to figure it out.
The fan wanted to know what kind of preparation was done to make the characters different. At first, he requested not to have to play more than one character, but he relented. When thinking about how to play these characters, the physical nature of the costumes helped. Steven was like this tall person who always wanted to seem smaller than they are, so he was always collapsing on himself. The man stands different. I was able to switch between characters as I got more comfortable with the characters during a seven-month shoot. Sometimes I could just switch line to line.
He said that he had a lot of fun playing Steven. He was hilarious and authentic. He was in the world and related to people in the world without judgement.
A fan appreciated the depiction of Dissociative Identity Disorder in Moon Knight. The actor was asked how he prepared for the role, and how he learned about DID. Thank you for the question, it was the most important for me. There was no point in doing it ifMoon Knight was not about us talking about DID and committing 100% to diving into it in an authentic way. We talked to a lot of therapists who worked with DID patients. The 2005 memoir A Fractured Mind: My Life with Multiple Personality Disorder, written by Robert Oxman, became my bible, according to the man.
This type of mental fracturing is a kind of power. The mind finds a way to give birth to other personas that can hold onto trauma in order to help a person survive. It was important for us. "You are the only real superpower I've ever had" is a line from Moon Knight. It was something that came out of all of the conversations. I feel like this is the point of everything.
The interviewer asked if we were looking at a second season of Moon Knight. He showed up on TikTok in August, which may have been a sign that he was going to come back. He said that the end of Moon Knight is not the last time you will see him.
It is possible to watch Moon Knight on Disney+.
