Oscar Isaac recently talked about Robert Downey Jr. and how the MCU veteran has given him nuggets of significant advice in light of him joining the superhero cinematic universe. Donning the white cape as the avatar of Egyptian god Khonshu, Moon Knight, Oscar Isaac has now played three different roles in the wider, extended MCU.
The actor is starring in the first-ever Disney+ TV series that serves as an origin story for a major new character. Oscar recently talked about his role, and the advice RDJ gave him in an interview with Extra. Below is the elaborate part about what Isaac shared regarding RDJ’s advice and his role.
What Advice Did Robert Downey Jr. Give To Oscar Isaac?
In a recent interview, Oscar Isaac revealed a bit about his interactions with Robert Downey Jr. regarding his foray into the MCU. Isaac stated that he “talked to him a lot.” He went on to add that Downey, who’s already a friend to him, was a great person to talk about the role to. Oscar Isaac revealed how the two talked about the role as a whole, surrounding its sense and the process it goes through.
Oscar also went on to share his praise for Iron Man and the genius of Feige. Oscar Isaac revealed how the first Iron Man movie was so good. He really said that Kevin Feige was a genius, and he’s a collaborator. He is also open to ideas and criticisms and asks people to be bold with their choices.
What’s Moon Knight About?
With Moon Knight Episode 1 having premiered on Disney+ last Wednesday, Isaac has taken part in the new era for Marvel’s universal continuity. It’s the first time that Marvel is introducing a major new superhero with a TV series instead of a movie. The show is also set to explore some new things and concepts the MCU hasn’t ventured into until now.
Apart from the aesthetical appeal of the rich Egyptian pantheon of gods, the show also delves into Disassociative Identity Disorder. However, we have yet to get some more discussion around the mental issues and challenges in the show. Anyway, the unique plot does mean that Isaac has had the chance to make some bold choices. Moon Knight is currently available to stream on Disney+, with the miniseries finale arriving on May 4, 2022.
