Hawke has previously starred in Gattaca, The Good Lord Bird, and Boyhood. The character is closely associated with ancient Egyptian myths and legends. In his superhero guise, Moon Knight is the embodiment of the Egyptian spirit of vengeance Khonshu, who instructs Moon Knight to carry out his violent will.

The first season of Moon Knight is coming to a close and we've got one last in-depth analysis for you, this time of episode 6 of the Disney+ series.

We cut to black and get the beginning of the credits sequence. Now here is where we finally meet the third personality, one that has been implied almost from the beginning of the season but more steadily and explicitly as the episodes have gone on (like the third sarcophagus in episode 4 and now him blacking out in this episode). In the comic books, Moon Knight historically has three identities – Marc Spector, Steven Grant and John Lockley, who in the comics is usually a taxicab driver. And the enormity of what Marc/Steven is up against is made brilliantly clear. (Imagine the highly publicized “Wonder Woman 1984” costume but much, much better.) There’s a lot of fighting – Harrow and Marc/Steven (again, they’re switching back and forth now) fight on the ground while Khonshu and Ammit fight above Cairo; they’re now both the size of Godzilla and King Kong. All of this is, admittedly, pretty cool, even if it sometimes becomes a blur. As they do this, a visual flourish that comes back repeatedly in the episode is first introduced, of Mr. Knight and Moon Knight switching back and forth effortlessly. He’s lost Steven and he’s nearing the end (just like the song at the beginning of the episode). “Your journey is over,” Taweret says. He does more of his purple magic and the outside of the pyramid starts to open. He stands up and the bullets fall out, kind of like Neo at the end of the first “Matrix.” His suit comes back. Marc comes to in the tomb. The first thing we see after the logo is Marc dead in the tomb, a pair of bloody bullet holes in his chest. One of the dead police officers looks up at Layla and tries to warn her – it’s Taweret (Antonia Salib) the hippopotamus-headed god, who is also currently trying to help Marc navigate the land of the dead. Over the Marvel Studios logo is a different sort of accompaniment: the 1958 Earl Grant song “The End.” It is both upbeat and ominous and the title sets the stage for the season’s conclusion.
