Yesterday's episode of Moon Knight revealed more about Steven Grant and Marc Spector, as well as the villainous Arthur Harrow. We also got to see the title character in action as Moon Knight and Mr. Knight, both of whom can be seen in these awesome new stills.
Highlighting several key moments and characters from "Summon The Suit," they're joined by some interesting new details from Moon Knight's Head Writer Jeremy Slater.
In a lengthy Twitter thread, Slater explained that the decision to make Moon Knight's costume supernatural in nature came to him early on while dreaming up that bathroom fight in the museum. Knowing it wouldn't make sense for Steven to be walking around with a bulky costume beneath his clothing or for Marc to have to retrieve it from somewhere, Slater confirmed that Alex Ross' Universe X Moon Knight was the key inspiration for how the character could be portrayed in the MCU.
"We realized if the suit was conjured into existence like the bandages on a Mummy, it would feel visually distinct from all the Stark/nanotech suits that currently populate the MCU," Slater explained. "We pitched the 'summoning' idea to Kevin Feige using the Universe X costume as a visual aid. He loved it...but wanted us to take it a step further. It was Kevin’s idea to combine the modern Moon Knight look with the Universe X mummy bandages."
Marvel Studios has certainly succeeded in making Moon Knight look visually distinctive, and you can take a closer look at him and more big moments from the second episode below:
