Moon Knightstar Ethan Hawke reveals how his daughter, Maya Hawke, persuaded him to take the villain role and join the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Ethan said that it was Maya who encouraged him to finally step up and join the league of heroes and villains in the MCU. Maya started her career in the industry in 2017 when she starred as Jo in the BBC adaptation ofLittle Women. She also played Robin Buckley in the hit Netflix seriesStranger ThingsSeason 3 and reprised the role in the fourth one.
On the other hand, Ethan made his debut in the MCU as Arthur Harrow in the Disney+ seriesMoon Knight. Moreover, he also had other projects such as Scott Derrickson’sThe Black Phoneand Robert Eggers’The Northman. The year 2022 brought a lot of opportunities for Ethan, knowing he typically does not do superhero movies.
Why Ethan Hawke Joined MCU’s Moon Knight
In hisinterview withIndieWire, Ethan reveals what Maya had told him when she learned he was considered for the MCU role.
“Maya would say to me, ‘Why are you sitting on the outside and telling everyone their sandbox is bad? Why don’t you go into their sandbox, play with them, and show them what you have to offer?’ I said to Oscar Isaac, ‘We’ve got to go play in Marvel’s sandbox and try to do what we do. We don’t have to change Marvel. We just want to show them what we’re capable of doing and see if they find it interesting.’ So we had a lot of rehearsals and worked on things a lot. We had a really good experience.”
Ethan mainly worked in the indie film industry in the past years, and he felt comfortable with his co-star Oscar Isaac who also made a career in independent films. Like Ethan, Isaac is now making waves in the mainstream media such asStar Warsand theDuneseries.
It is yet to confirm whether Ethan will reprise his role as Arthur Harrow inMoon Knightas the actor has already expressed that he is not keen on making long-term commitments with the MCU.
