The Playlist Podcast Network ‘Moon Knight’: Directors Mohamed Diab, Justin Benson & Aaron Moorhead Talk About Bringing A Darker World To The MCU [Bingeworthy Podcast]
In today’s episode of Bingeworthy, our revitalized TV and streaming podcast, co-hosts Mike DeAngelo and Rodrigo Perez dig into Disney+’s latest Marvel Cinematic Universe, “Moon Knight.” Based on the Marvel Comic of the same name, the show follows a mild-mannered museum gift shop employee, Steven Grant (Oscar Isaac), who finds himself lost in the difference between reality and waking life nightmares, waking up in insanely dangerous situations, and eventually finding himself entangled in a mysterious plot involving powerful Egyptian Gods and charismatic cult leaders (read our review here).
At the top of the episode, our hosts discuss their differing opinions on the first four “Moon Knight” episodes (as spoiler-free as possible), what makes a good hero and a good villain, and finally dissect Marvel’s plot-heavy formula.
After the conversation, directors Mohamed Diab, Justin Benson & Aaron Moorhead stop by to discuss the difficulty of pulling together multiple genres to create a signature “Moon Knight” feel. They also discuss the possibility of "Moon Knight" season two and Benson and Moorehead talk vaguely about working on "Loki" season two.
