Moon Knight: Marvel Reveals Oscar Winner Voices Khonshu

Ahead of its debut this March 30, Disney has confirmed that Oscar winner F. Murray Abraham (Amadeus, Last Action Hero) has signed on to become the voice of Egyptian god Khonshu in Marvel Studios’ next Disney+ series Moon Knight. The ancient god’s appearance has been already been teased in previously released trailers.

In the comics, Khonshu is known as the God of the Moon and was a member of the Heliopolitan race of gods. Due to not being able to leave his realm, he would choose a champion to become his avatar and be guided by his will. He was the one who gifted Marc Spector with powers and superhuman abilities.

Marvel Studios’ upcoming Disney+ series Moon Knight will feature the introduction of Golden Globe winner Oscar Isaac in the titular role of Marc Spector, which marks the iconic superhero’s live-action debut and is expected to be featured in future MCU films.

“It follows Steven Grant, a mild-mannered gift-shop employee, who becomes plagued with blackouts and memories of another life,” says the official synopsis. “Steven discovers he has dissociative identity disorder and shares a body with mercenary Marc Spector. As Steven/Marc’s enemies converge upon them, they must navigate their complex identities while thrust into a deadly mystery among the powerful gods of Egypt. ”

The series will also star Oscar nominee Ethan Hawke as Arthur Harrow, May Calamawy, and the late Gaspard Ulliel as Midnight Man. Isaac is also serving as an executive producer.
