Marvel’s new mythical series Moon Knight has come to an end. The cliffhanger ending left the fans amazed as a new personality of Marc Spector is revealed. There is still uncertainty over season 2 for now. However, the series gave us one of the well-fleshed villains in the Marvel Universe. Ethan Hawke’s Arthur Harrow surprised the audience. The real fanatics of the comics expected Bushman to be the antagonist in the series. But, the audience was pleasantly surprised to see Arthur Harrow, a cult leader, and a psychiatrist play the villain. However, recently, the producers spilled the beans about the process of choosing the right villain.
Jeremy Slater Revealed The Process Of Choosing The Villain For Moon Knight
The Executive Producer has weighed in to disclose the process of how Arthur Harrow was locked instead of the comic original Bushman. In an interview, Jeremy Slater indicated how he was not comfortable to green-lit Bushman. He said, “I mean Bushman was in my first couple versions of the script for sure, and we tried to have several different versions of him.
He continued, “Ultimately, I was the on decision to ax Bushman. I went to Marvel and said I’m not comfortable with this, can we take him out and talk about different versions, and they were always really supportive.” He also explained how finally they decided to go with Arthur Harrow. Slater added, “And we really looked at all of the sort of classic villains. There was a couple that we talked about; Stained Glass Scarlet, and, you know, Zodiac, and different characters like that.”
Adding to that, “No one really kind of fit the parameters of the story we were telling, so we were just like, ‘You know what, can we just introduce a guy, and we’ll grab a name from some’—you know, they gave me a list of [like] every villain whose ever appeared in a Moon Knight comic. I just went through and went like, ‘Arthur Harrow, that sounds like a cool villain name, let’s go with that.'”
