Oscar Isaac is in talks to join the Marvel screen universe as Moon Knight, who starred as Poe Dameron in the latest Star Wars trilogy for LucasFilm and Disney, will now stay with the Mouse House if he signs up to star in Marvel's Moon Knight series, which has been announced for the Disney+ streaming service.

Moon Knight, a.k.a. Marc Spector, was created by writer Doug Moench and artist Don Perlin and made his Marvel Comics debut in the August 1975 issue of Werewolf by Night. The son of a rabbi, a former CIA agent and mercenary, Spector is betrayed by an employer and left for dead near an archaeological dig, where he is approached by the Egyptian moon god Khonshu. The supernatual being offers the dying Spector a second chance at life if he becomes Khonshu's avatar on Earth, investing him with superhuman abilities.

No director has been named for the Moon Knight series yet, although Jeremy Slater (The Umbrella Academy) is developing the show and leading the writer's room.

Isaac finished up his work on the Star Wars films last year with The Rise of Skywalker, and is set to appear in another big sci-fi franchise, Dune, in 2021. His other upcoming projects include director Paul Schrader's The Card Counter and the HBO series Scenes from a Marriage alongside Jessica Chastain.
