I'm sorry. (LAUGHS) - Your XLR kit fell off. 75 00:04:14,921 --> 00:04:17,215 - Sorry.

I know it's like a ping-pong right now, 84 00:04:34,607 --> 00:04:37,193 I have to say the same thing. But I loved The Endless 85 00:04:37,277 --> 00:04:38,903 and I loved it before I met you, 86 00:04:38,987 --> 00:04:41,447 and I thought, "Wow, those guys have something." 87 00:04:41,531 --> 00:04:44,826 So, when we got the chance to work together, that was a big thing for me. 88 00:04:45,868 --> 00:04:48,496 CURTIS: When we were kicking this off in the writer's room, 89 00:04:48,579 --> 00:04:50,665 one thing that became evident really quickly was 90 00:04:50,748 --> 00:04:53,501 Moon Knight does not have any current connections to the MCU. 91 00:04:53,668 --> 00:04:55,545 And narratively, it became really freeing 92 00:04:55,628 --> 00:04:57,880 and allowed us to really play with a character 93 00:04:57,964 --> 00:05:02,093 that didn't have to abide by any pre-ordained narrative rules. 94 00:05:02,176 --> 00:05:05,888 The thing that's always been incredible to me as a fan of Moon Knight, 95 00:05:05,972 --> 00:05:10,560 is that every creator kind of comes in and puts their own spin on the material. 96 00:05:10,643 --> 00:05:15,023 We were able to kind of cherry pick all of our favorite things from the various runs. 97 00:05:15,106 --> 00:05:20,486 But it's also a daunting task because how do you distill 40 years of weirdness, 98 00:05:20,570 --> 00:05:24,198 into a six-hour show and have it still make sense? 99 00:05:24,282 --> 00:05:27,410 Having this huge history of 40 years of comic books, 100 00:05:27,493 --> 00:05:31,748 you have so much to dig from. And the best thing about Marvel, 101 00:05:31,831 --> 00:05:34,417 they allow us to get maybe the origin of a character 102 00:05:34,500 --> 00:05:36,461 - and play with it the way you want. - Yes. 103 00:05:36,544 --> 00:05:38,046 For us, it was about the story. 104 00:05:38,129 --> 00:05:40,131 Like, no one ever told us, 105 00:05:40,214 --> 00:05:42,133 "Okay, there's something in the comic book 106 00:05:42,216 --> 00:05:44,594 "that we need to put because it's in the comic book." 107 00:05:44,677 --> 00:05:47,972 We would go through every Moon Knight comic that ever existed 108 00:05:48,056 --> 00:05:51,768 and just trying to find particularly iconic imagery that we connected with. 109 00:05:51,851 --> 00:05:53,978 Usually, it was the more mind-bending stuff like 110 00:05:54,062 --> 00:05:56,731 the image of pulling the white off 111 00:05:56,814 --> 00:06:00,651 and seeing the flesh underneath on a white back... Those types of images. 112 00:06:04,364 --> 00:06:06,491 CURTIS: When Moon Knight was first written, 113 00:06:06,574 --> 00:06:10,036 Marc Spector was basically just a guy who had different identities. 114 00:06:10,119 --> 00:06:14,248 Marc Spector was a mercenary, Steven Grant was kind of the millionaire about town 115 00:06:14,332 --> 00:06:16,626 and then there was Jake Lockley, the cab driver. 116 00:06:16,793 --> 00:06:18,252 And depending on what information 117 00:06:18,336 --> 00:06:21,172 Marc Spector needed at that time as Moon Knight, 118 00:06:21,255 --> 00:06:22,882 he went in different identities. 119 00:06:24,467 --> 00:06:28,596 Over the years, the different identities morphed into different personalities 120 00:06:28,679 --> 00:06:31,474 and those different personalities morphed into what we know now 121 00:06:31,557 --> 00:06:33,434 as dissociative identity disorder. 122 00:06:34,227 --> 00:06:37,522 I feel like comic creators started taking really interesting risks 123 00:06:37,605 --> 00:06:39,148 with the character of Moon Knight, 124 00:06:39,232 --> 00:06:43,486 and that's where you started to see things like his struggles with DID 125 00:06:43,569 --> 00:06:47,323 And his mental health really kind of came to the forefront. 126 00:06:47,407 --> 00:06:50,618 And it took this character who was really introduced as just sort of, 127 00:06:50,701 --> 00:06:53,371 "Hey, he's a guy, he dresses up in white, fights werewolves. 128 00:06:53,454 --> 00:06:56,541 "What else do you need to know?" It really gave him some complexity 129 00:06:56,624 --> 00:06:59,377 and really made him a character that was fascinating. 130 00:06:59,460 --> 00:07:02,004 Moon Knight is a character that for years in the comics 131 00:07:02,088 --> 00:07:03,714 has struggled with mental illness. 132 00:07:03,798 --> 00:07:07,677 The opportunity to tap into somebody that faces those challenges 133 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,180 in a respectful way was very important to us. 134 00:07:11,264 --> 00:07:15,476 Because of all of those different elements, you need a spectacular actor. 135 00:07:19,105 --> 00:07:20,356 All right, guten tag. 136 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,859 FEIGE: We'd talked to Oscar a number of times. 137 00:07:22,942 --> 00:07:26,863 We knew he was interested in our world, we'd never found the right fit. 138 00:07:26,946 --> 00:07:30,074 And we weren't sure he would be interested in Moon Knight, 139 00:07:30,199 --> 00:07:33,369 we weren't sure he'd be interested in doing a show on Disney Plus. 140 00:07:33,453 --> 00:07:35,455 But he was completely into it 141 00:07:35,538 --> 00:07:38,958 and he's been such a creative collaborator and creative partner. 142 00:07:39,041 --> 00:07:42,837 When I was approached by Kevin Feige with Moon Knight, 143 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,131 I had never heard of it. I collected comics 144 00:07:45,214 --> 00:07:48,426 when I was younger, you know, X-Men and, uh, 145 00:07:48,509 --> 00:07:50,928 X-Force and a few others. 146 00:07:51,262 --> 00:07:53,764 And so, the first thing was to kinda do a deep dive 147 00:07:53,848 --> 00:07:56,017 on the character and its history. 148 00:07:56,642 --> 00:08:00,563 Going back through the comics, it's shifted and changed so much. 149 00:08:00,646 --> 00:08:03,733 It's so rich. It's pretty vast. 150 00:08:03,816 --> 00:08:05,359 And so our job was to kinda 151 00:08:05,443 --> 00:08:08,404 put a lens on the things that we found the most interesting, 152 00:08:08,488 --> 00:08:11,240 or that, like, had the most dramatic juice. 153 00:08:11,324 --> 00:08:16,245 And ultimately, taking the mental health aspect about it incredibly seriously 154 00:08:16,329 --> 00:08:19,665 and really committing to what I really wanted to do, 155 00:08:19,749 --> 00:08:24,045 which is a character study, a point-of-view experience. 156 00:08:26,631 --> 00:08:28,883 DIAB: DID is dissociative identity disorder, 157 00:08:29,217 --> 00:08:32,178 which is previously called multiple personality disorder. 158 00:08:33,304 --> 00:08:37,099 At the end, it's a fictionalized depiction of DID, 159 00:08:37,183 --> 00:08:40,019 but I think we tried our best in the show 160 00:08:40,102 --> 00:08:42,605 to try and understand it and delve deeper into it. 161 00:08:42,688 --> 00:08:45,399 ISAAC: The first thing I did once I did finally sign on 162 00:08:45,483 --> 00:08:48,528 was to delve into DID and what it's like. 163 00:08:48,611 --> 00:08:51,239 And there's an incredible book by Robert Oxnam 164 00:08:51,322 --> 00:08:52,615 called A Fractured Mind. 165 00:08:53,282 --> 00:08:56,452 And that ended up being like my bible to me, 166 00:08:56,536 --> 00:09:00,164 you know, because this is someone who didn't realize he had DID 167 00:09:00,248 --> 00:09:01,749 until he was in his forties. 168 00:09:01,832 --> 00:09:06,170 He just thought that he was alcoholic and he had some trouble in his life, 169 00:09:06,254 --> 00:09:08,256 and, you know, lo and behold, suddenly, 170 00:09:08,339 --> 00:09:11,801 he finds out he's got eight different people living inside of him. 171 00:09:11,884 --> 00:09:13,678 They're eight different alters. 172 00:09:13,761 --> 00:09:17,932 And so, that was astounding.
