Moon Knight cinematographer Gregory Middleton has seemingly confirmed that Oscar Isaac will be portraying the titular hero in Marvel's upcoming Disney+ series. In a recent post on his Instagram account, Middleton announced that he would be presiding over the camera and light crews on Marvel's Moon Knight series. In the caption of the post, he also tagged Oscar Isaac and credited him as an "amazing performer," purportedly reaffirming previous reports that Isaac had been tapped to play the lead role of Marc Spector. "Well the secret is out," Middleton wrote in the post, geo-tagged from Budapest, Hungary. "It's an honor to be a part of introducing a new character to the MCU [HASH=2275]#MoonKnight[/HASH]. Who says cinematographers worry about white costumes! ... not if they are complex characters played by an amazing performer like @officialoscarrisaac. Thank you director Mohamed Diab and the [HASH=2276]#mcu[/HASH] for inviting me aboard."

If his role is finalized, Isaac will be one of several actors who have appeared in both the MCU and Fox's X-Men cinematic universe, having previously portrayed the main antagonist in 2016's X-Men: Apocalypse, directed by Bryan Singer. As for Moon Knight, Isaac would be making his MCU debut under the direction of Egyptian filmmaker Mohamed Diab, who is said to be helming the series, which revolves around Spector, a former soldier of fortune, whose encounter with an Egyptian god of vengeance and moon deity, Khonshu, inspires his transformation into a costumed vigilante.

At one time, Kevin Feige indicated that Moon Knight and some of Marvel's other Disney+ series' such as She-Hulk and Ms. Marvel would all wrap production by the end of 2020. Ultimately, the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic delayed that timetable and many of the original production dates were pushed back. WandaVision, however, is on target for its release on Disney+ on January 15, as the first entry in an ambitious new lineup of TV series' designed to be more closely integrated with Marvel's movies.
