Marvel: May Calamawy Joins Moon Knight
At one point, Oscar Isaac told cameras that he was not interested in bringing Poe Dameron back to Star Wars via Disney+.
However, bringing a Marvel character to Disney+ is more of Issac’s cup of tea. And he’s inviting some other actors, too.
Moony Knight Adds Calamawy
AVclub.com’s William Hughes reported:
Marvel—faced with the tricky proposition of getting its audiences excited for the adventures of Moon Knight, a superhero best known for mental illness and driving a cab—continues to load up its upcoming Disney+ series about the character with high-profile talent. The producer has already tapped Oscar Isaac to star as the title character, which should get a fair number of butts in seats, and will now flesh out the show’s cast with a regular role for Ramy’s May Calamawy.
In an exclusive, The Hollywood Reporter’s Borys Kit explained:
Calamawy plays the sister of Ramy Youssef in Ramy, the well-regarded and Emmy-nominated comedy-drama series on Hulu. The show, about an American Muslim-Arab navigating opposing cultural communiiteis, is working on its third season. She recently wrapped the indie comedy Together Together that stars Ed Helms.
Okay, okay. I can hear you asking: “Who the heck is Moon Knight?”
This might help.
