Moon Knight Interview: Directors Aaron Moorhead and Justin Benson

Moon Knight is the latest addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Premiering in his own limited series on Disney+ starting tomorrow, Oscar Isaac plays the competing personalities of Steven Grant and Marc Spector who serve as the Fist of Khonshu, an Egyptian deity. When Steven/Marc come into conflict with the enigmatic Arthur Harrow, it turns into a rollicking race across the globe from London to Cairo and beyond. It is an exciting and fun addition to the MCU that is unlike any other series so far (read our review here).

We got the chance to sit down and talk with the creative talent behind the scenes of Moon Knight, including directors Aaron Morehead and Justin Benson. They direct episodes 2 and 4. If those names sound familiar, it’s because they’re cult sci-fi directors who, along with others, helmed the much-loved (by JoBlo) Synchronic, starring Marvel vet Anthony Mackie. They’ve also signed on to direct the next season of Loki. Check out what they had to say about their first time working in the MCU above!

Moon Knight premieres March 30th on Disney+.
