Marc Spector
An Actor’s Life for Me: It’s not every day you get to play a Marvel Comics character. When I was offered a leading role in a new television series that reinterprets comic book characters, I felt like my life had become an episode of Heroes or Alias. But unlike those shows, which starred Hayden Panettiere and Jennifer Garner, respectively, mine is called Moon Knight—and it stars me!
The Origin of Moon Knight
It was revealed that years ago, Marc abandoned his family to be with a woman named Marlene Alraune. She had dreams of being an actress, but due to her fragile mental state she ended up living on welfare in New York’s Bowery district where she met Spector while trying to beg for change on a street corner. After he gave her money, he left, assuming he would never see her again.
Mr. Knight
Born on June 26, 1954 in New York City, his mother dies from cancer when he is seven years old. During their time together, she told him stories about her childhood in Vienna, including her escape from Nazi-occupied Austria during World War II. Her death leaves a lasting impact on Spector and causes him to become fascinated with European culture and history, especially that of Austria.
Marc Spector – A Brief Look
Marc Spector was one of Marvel’s original characters in comic books; he first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #1 (cover dated March 1963).

Who Is Steven Grant?
Some months ago, Matthew Vaughn and Fox were talking about a reboot of Daredevil, so it makes sense that director Scott Derrickson might be asked if he knows who might be good for Mr. Knight (Moon Knight). Derrickson said, No — but I know who I’m going to cast: Oscar Isaac. He added, He’s just amazing. The internet has gone insane with support for him in other roles since then, from Star Wars: The Force Awakens to Star Trek Beyond.
The Versatility of Oscar Isaac
The actor is quickly becoming one of Hollywood’s most popular leading men, with a wide range of diverse roles that have brought him praise from critics in both film and television. Some are calling him one of Hollywood’s rising stars—and it’s not hard to see why!
My Opinion
A character like Moon Knight is such a great fit for Oscar Isaac. This would be an extremely complicated role for him to take on, but I can see it working so well! His performance in Ex Machina was top notch, and his versatility continues to show in films like Star Wars: The Force Awakens . I feel that he could bring something really interesting to a role that requires multiple personalities coming together for one greater good. Let’s just hope he doesn’t have DID…please don’t have DID Mr. Oscar!
Final Thoughts
As an actor, he has been featured in supporting roles in several mainstream films such as The Nativity Story (2006), Body of Lies (2008), Inside Llewyn Davis (2013) and A Most Violent Year (2014).

The first season of Marvel’s The Punisher starring Jon Bernthal, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Amber Rose Revah, Michael Nathanson, Jaime Ray Newman, Jason R.
