Jake Lockley

"Marc Spector has no idea how troubled he truly is."

“But he’s such a stylish Jake. It's like if [you met him, you’d] be like, ‘wow, so you're Jake Lockley,’ in a way that you're kind of enamored and scared at the same time. It just feels like it was just a really fun chance to let the instinct of, after having played these two guys, imagining what else could be in there and the excitement of shooting that scene.” Diab “loves that he’s a Latino” character, and even as Jake walks through the hospital pushing Harrow’s wheelchair, he’s humming a Guatemalan hymn. “The thought of, ‘He's just going to have the one line that he speaks, it should be in Spanish.’ There's something that's ominous about him, the kind of control that he has versus, you know, both Marc and Steven that have been so off foot. And, for those looking for more Jake, a repeat viewing of the season might be in order, too. Heading into Episode 2 " Summon the Suit," Moorhead explains, “When [Marc] is talking to himself in the pyramid at the end of the episode, you'll notice it's actually a three sided pyramid that are progressively more and more broken. Almost in unison, both Benson and Moorhead confirm, “That is intended to be Jake.” The one that he kicks out and smashes is actually a tiny, tiny little clue to look out for three instead of two.” While also trying to ride this line that it's not literally going to be a creature from the descent popping out. Going so far back as Episode 1 " The Goldfish Problem," cinematographer Gregory Middleton points out that after Steven wakes up in bed following the cupcake truck chase, “There's a shot of a [split] of mirrors and there's this barely third reflection.” Barely three reflections. Rather, the team focused on “everyone else who's totally unfamiliar with the character and the dynamic,” recognizing “we have to make sure that the mystery works as satisfying for the newcomers to the Moon Knight story.” Episode 3 " The Friendly Type" offers more clues to Jake’s role in everything, as racing through Cairo neither Marc nor Steven knows who’s in control and carrying out some of these bloody deeds.

Moon Knight Episode 6 is out on Disney+ right now and with it comes some answers to our Moon Knight questions. So what is the Moon Knight ending explained ...

In the comics, Jake Lockley is just a taxi driver. It’s possible we actually met Lockley in Episode 5, as he may have been in control when “Marc,” sporting a broken nose, confronted Harrow in the afterlife and tried to attack him. Now free of working the night shift enacting supernatural vengeance on behalf of a moon god, Marc and Steven are free to live peacefully, together in Steven’s cluttered flat. After the credits start to roll, we cut to a new scene — one set in the previously unseen Sienkiewicz Psychiatric Hospital (named after groundbreaking Moon Knight artist Bill Sienkiewicz). It turns out that that’s where Harrow ended up after being bonded to Ammit. Yeah, it makes sense that no one would believe this guy about how the Egyptian demoness of soul devouring is living inside of him. The demoness is in a mortal prison, and Moon Knight isn’t keen on continuing to do Khonshu’s bloody bidding. And night falls on Moon Knight, bringing the fifth Marvel Studios original, live-action series to a close.

The season finale for "Moon Knight" featured a post-credit scene that confirmed the existence of a new personality for Oscar Isaac's Marc Spector.

The character of Jake Lockley, like Steven Grant, is just one of the personalities that Marc alternates between as a result of his mental disorder, and each is supposed to represent a different side of Khonshu. In the Marvel Comics, Jake is a persona used by Marc Spector and he works as a cab driver who gathers information that Marc then uses. As he is pushed along the ward, Harrow notices that several of the staff members have been killed, while the man pushing him whistles a jaunty tune, and he then pushes him inside a limousine waiting outside the facility.

The end credits scene for Moon Knight's finale in episode 6 finally confirmed a major fan theory about Marc Spector and Steven Grant.

As in this end credits scene, Jake is usually a driver – though in the comics he was a New York cabbie, with connections to the criminal underworld that were useful to Moon Knight’s crime-fighting. How exactly Jake was created in this TV version remains to be seen – as does whether we’ll see him again. He’s more of an assassin, a true “fist of Khonshu” who has no trouble executing people in cold blood. Later, when the duo escaped from an imagined mental hospital, Marc had to free Steven from a sarcophagus – but you also see another unopened sarcophagus standing in a room, which neither of them attempts to open. Well, in the comics Moon Knight almost always has his alternate Steven Grant and Marc Spector identities, and Jake Lockley is usually right in there with them. There had been clues for a while that Steven wasn’t the only extra identity Marc had.

Throughout its six-episode run on Disney Plus, Marvel series Moon Knight has transfixed viewers, as they were transported to a world where ancient Egyptian gods ...

On top of that, we have to ask what happened to Marc and Steven at the end of Moon Knight to result in them winding back up at Steven’s apartment in London? In the final episode of the series, this happened once again when Marc was fighting Harrow and was on the verge of defeat, before Jake presumably emerged to save the day. In the episode 6 finale post-credits scene, fans were finally introduced to a significant character after weeks of anticipation – Jake Lockley, the third identity played by Oscar Isaac after Marc Spector and Steven Grant.

We break down what happened in the 'Moon Knight' finale and what it means for the futures of Marc Spector, Steven Grant, Jake Lockley, and Scarlet Scarab.

For our money, a version of Moon Knight that dialed down the focus on Khonshu, Ammit, and the suspiciously Eternals-esque council of gods who creep on humanity from the sidelines, would've been a much better ride. Khonshu's inside, by the way, introducing Harrow to Lockley. Then? Lockley executes Harrow. If we're being honest, the permanence of Harrow's death probably depends on whether or not Ethan Hawke wants to return to the MCU after Moon Knight. (Considering how close he is with Isaac, we'd be willing to be he'll come back to the party.) Regardless, if/when Isaac returns, there will be three of him! Though Moon Knight found itself lost in the metaphorical and literal desert more often than not, it was nice to see Grant and Spector, as Mr. Knight and Moon Knight, respectively, finally fight alongside each other without bickering. In Moon Knight's mid-credits scene, we see Lockley pick up Harrow from the psychiatric hospital and toss him in an all-white limo. Admirable! Spector and Grant share a tender moment—as two Oscar Isaacses do—before resurrecting in the real world. Now, for the week of May 1, Chef Feige is serving up the season finale of Moon Knight, paired with the premiere of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. (Check back here this Friday for Esquire's coverage of Doctor Strange. Which, we promise, is worth coming back for.

Moon Knight's final episode makes a new Egyptian superhero out of Layla, the Scarlet Scarab — and finally reveals the third personality of Steven Grant and ...

And comics can’t help us much here, because Layla is an almost entirely original character to the Moon Knight TV series. Jake isn’t the only star of Moon Knight’s credits scene: Khonshu has picked up some modern threads and modern conveyance. A nattily-suited Khonshu is a staple of Moon Knight comics, and he looks just as good in live action as on the page. Moon Knight has been hinting at the existence of a third personality since early in the series, sprinkling the story with moments when both Steven and Marc experienced the blackouts that usually indicated the other one was taking over. Now we know exactly who was in there: The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s take on Jake Lockley. There’s not much we know about him at this point. There’s a third personality neither of them are aware of, and his name is Jake Lockley.

Jake Lockley is vitally important to Marc Spector in the comics, but what should fans know about this additional personality?

In the context of the early comics, Jake Lockley was basically a disguise created to fulfill all of the previously mentioned roles. It's a dynamic that would have been interesting to play through on the page but might actually work better in the MCU. The comic book variation is definitely willing to get his hands dirtier than alters like Steven Grant but isn't quite as deadly as Moon Knight himself. Lockley was created as the other side of the coin. The earlier narratives did not explore topics of mental health in quite the same way. He knows the streets like the back of his hand thanks to years of being in the industry. He resided in Mexico under the personality, but of course, couldn't stop himself from helping those in need. One cannot exist without the other, as they are in a perfect balance. There's ruggedness and grittiness to the suit that allows him to fit in amongst some seedier crowds. It's in direct contrast to the bright whites of the Moon Knight or Mr. Knight uniforms. Boasting a strong New York accent, Jake Lockley spends his time as a yellow cab driver in the big apple. Each of Moon Knight's alters has a very specific personality type that sets them apart from the other characters.

The Moon Knight Episode 6 finale finally introduced Jake Lockley, Marc's third persona, in its post-credits scene.

This figure brings Arthur outside and tosses him into a limo—and in the back of the limo, Arthur meets Khonshu. Khonshu is very leisurely sitting, and essentially tells Arthur that he's still got his fist of vengeance. This, too, was Jake. Some theorists also believed that one of the conversations in the asylum scenes with "Dr. Harrow" was Jake as well. At the actual end of the show, we saw Marc and Steven still in tune with one another. The only difference now is that Steven and Marc were awake at the same time, operating in coordination. Marc and Steven wanted to live their own life, and Khonshu (voiced with such wonderful wry frustration by F. Murray Abraham) held through with his end of the bargain. After six episodes establishing the identities of Marc Spector (Oscar Isaac) and Steven Grant ( British Oscar Isaac), then each identity denying the other exists, then each realizing the other has basically existed all along, and then, finally, becoming BFFs with each other, Moon Knight finally found its team up in its finale.
