Meghan Kasperlik breaks down working on Moon Knight as the costume designer and the many looks she got to adapt for the hero’s Marvel Cinematic Universe debut. Following his time in the Star Wars universe, Oscar Isaac’s time with Disney was just beginning, as it didn’t take long for him to join the MCU. Isaac ended up becoming one of the new big heroes to get introduced in The Multiverse Saga, starring as Marc Spector and his other alters in the Moon Knight TV show as part of Phase 4.
Moon Knight follows the complex Marvel icon, starting the series out initially with Steven Grant, as he is tortured with missing time, discovering eventually that he has dissociative identity disorder. However, as Steven and Marc cross paths with the villainous Arthur Harrow, Isaac’s leading hero begins to learn more about himself while becoming one of the new champions in the MCU. The ending of Moon Knight also introduced a third alter from the comics in the form of Jake Lockley, leaving the MCU audience to wonder what is next.
Screen Rant recently interviewed Kasperlik for the upcoming 4K UHD and Blu-ray Steelbook release for Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Moon Knight, Andor, and Obi-Wan Kenobi, as she worked on Isaac’s MCU drama as the costume designer. Throughout the interview, Kasperlik chats about bringing a lot of the iconic looks to life for Moon Knight, while also modernizing players like Scarlet Scarab, as well as if she has heard anything about Moon Knight season 2 potentially happening in the future.
Screen Rant: It’s absolutely incredible seeing the number of practical costumes that are on the show because with these superhero projects, sometimes, you can go one way or the other. For you, what was the most challenging aspect to get right, and can you take us through that process of adapting so many of these looks?
On the subject of the Scarlet Scarab costume, I don’t know how many designs it went through [for the show] I know that in the comics, it’s a very, very different look. But were there any conversations about trying to make it as close as possible to the comics, or was it more of, ‘We will use the name, but we’re not going to stick so much with what originated in the comics X amount of years ago’?
I know that with only six episodes, there’s only so much you guys can do, but was there ever any conversation or any looks in your mind for Jake Lockley’s costume or what it could have looked like, if we had another episode? Do you have that design in your mind based on the source material that we have?
The fans did get curious when the news came out about the Blu-Ray for “Moon Knight: The Complete First Season,” so I have to ask you, have you heard about a potential second season at all?
Are there any other looks that you want to adapt from the Moon Knight comics after having worked on it?
Is there any chance we might see you working on something other Marvel-related or is Kevin Feige going to aim his snipers at us if we talk about it?
Outside of the world of Marvel, what are you working on right now, is there anything you can share about?
Finally, when you see your work getting recreated through cosplay, how surreal is that, to be like, ‘Oh my God, these fans, you’re using this and that to create your looks that I worked on!’
When Steven Grant (Oscar Isaac), a mild-mannered gift shop employee, becomes plagued with blackouts and memories of another life, he 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.
