“It’s totally different, especially in the MCU, to really focus on the internal struggles of these characters and use Egyptian iconography and the superhero genre to talk about the real internal struggles these main characters are going through,” Isaac said.
In order to get the four characters, he gave his secret. Oscar revealed that the scenes of Marc and Steven were not done at the same time, so he could focus more on playing one character.
“There is a lot of process behind it. At first I asked that Marc and Steven’s scene not be done on the same day. For example, this month we filmed Marc’s scene first, then the following month we continued to shoot Steven’s scene,” said Oscar.
To get out of his character he played in Moon Knight, Oscar did some light meditation and met with his family. This method is quite effective, because he can easily return to being himself.
“When I finished filming, I did some light meditation and I went home, met my wife and two children. They can make me aware and bring out the nature of the character I play quickly, “explained Oscar.

“Before getting into this project, I had never even heard of Moon Knight. I searched the internet and found someone selling a 1975 comic. I also collected a lot of Moon Knight artwork and put it on the walls of my house,” he said.
