Even if you weren't particularly impressed by Disney+'s Moon Knight, it'd be hard to argue that star Oscar Isaac delivered a superb performance in his dual role. Now, the show's director has revealed that his favorite scene with the Dune actor was actually cut from the recent season finale.
While speaking to THR, Mohamed Diab outlined a deleted moment involving Marc Spector/Steven Grant confronting their late mother in the "white void," and the filmmaker believes Isaac was at his very best during this scene.
“I think [Oscar] would say that I was just encouraging him, but I always tell him, 'You’re going to win everything,' because he is always great," Diab told the trade. "He’s a genius actor. The irony is that my favorite scene of his got cut. It was in episode six. As great as everything else was, he actually topped it with something even better. He confronted his mom in a white void, and he was going back and forth between Marc and Steven. And oh my god. That scene by itself is an Oscar-worthy performance. Hopefully, Marvel releases that scene one day because Oscar was a genius.”
In the penultimate episode, it's revealed that Spector's mother became abusive towards her son after the accidental death of his younger brother, which led to him creating the Steven Grant persona as a way of dealing with the trauma. With this in mind, we can only imagine how powerful this confrontation must have been, so we really hope it does see the light of day at some point.
