Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead, the directing team behind acclaimed indie horror/mystery titles like “Resolution,” “Spring” and “The Endless,” have been set to helm multiple episodes of Marvel Studios’ “Moon Knight” series.
“The Umbrella Academy” showrunner Jeremy Slater is developing the project with the remaining episodes set to be directed by Egyptian filmmaker Mohamed Diab.
The story follows a mercenary with numerous identities who becomes a conduit for the moon god Khonshu after being left for dead on a mission in Egypt.
Golden Globe winner Oscar Isaac was previously in talks for the titular role, though Marvel hasn’t yet confirmed him as the lead even as at least one crew member has confirmed it.
Benson and Moorhead most recently helmed “Synchronic”.
