Production kicks off on
Moon Knight later this year, and Marvel Studios is currently busy putting together a team of writers. One of the most recent additions was
The Witcher's Beau DeMayo, and while he made it clear that he can't say much about the secretive project, it sounds like the Disney+ TV series definitely has the right creative team working on it.
"He has a rich legacy that's for sure," DeMayo teased. "All I can really say is, one, Jeremy Slater is a frigging badass. He's so smart. He is a great, awesome guy to work for. And then, I know it sounds like pandering but it is so true that, as a fan coming into Marvel, it is so amazing to see the...we've heard it before with Kevin and everybody's just...They do really care."
Slater has been tasked with serving as Moon Knight's showrunner, while Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige will oversee the project and serve as an executive producer. According to DeMayo, that's led a positive vibe in the writers room which should help this series shine in a big way.
"It is amazing to sit in a place where you can tell that everybody is a fan and everybody wants to deliver the best quality, the best product," he adds. "And I think the vision that Kevin had and the vision Jeremy's had, I can't say what it is but I think people will really dig it. I know just as a fan, when they told me the take, I was just like, 'Oh shit, I want to watch that.'"
With a character like Moon Knight (who has split personalities), there are any number of directions Marvel could choose to take him in, and this series could draw off his classic adventures or some recent reimaginings. Either way, it definitely sounds like things are coming together nicely.
Now, we just need to find out who will be playing Moony...
