Last week the season finale of Marvel’s Moon Knight revealed a third and creepy new personality for Oscar Isaac’s character. That personality’s name is Jake Lockley and we only got to see a brief moment of him in the series during the post-credits scene.
This is another reason Marvel needs to continue this story! We get a first look at a new personality and this guy is completely unhinged and insanely brutal and violent. In fact, during a recent interview with /Film, director Mohamed Diab talked about the new character and apparently Isaac’s portrayal of the character scared the hell out of the crew. He explained:
“We never spoke about Jake that much, honestly, but I want to tell you, when Oscar just showed us the way he wanted to play him, he scared the hell out of us. He became a scary person for sure.”
While we didn’t see much of Jake in the series, you can tell his demeanor is dark and cold-blooded. The filmmaker went on to share that he sees the character as the “Taxi Driver kind of guy.” He also explained why he decided to keep this identity hidden until the end of the season:
“I think the discussion about Jake is going to come one day, if there is an expansion of what’s going to happen. We actually decided to meet him at the end, so we don’t do this disservice to him, because he needs exactly the same time as Marc and Steven on screen. We need to understand who he is. We need to understand his struggle, but he’s one of the reasons that I really want to come back one day to this show and expand that world, whether in film or TV. But I see him as the ‘Taxi Driver’ kind of guy. So I wish one day to play with him and see where it takes us.”
With the way the series ended, I’d be surprised if Marvel didn’t continue the story for Moon Knight! He’s always been one of Marvel’s most interesting characters with his multiple personalities and it’d be so crazy for them to not want to explore that further. There very well could be more than the three personalities that we’ve been introduced to so far!
