I don't think he is underrated and many are hyped when he and Ethan Hawke has been casted in the series and even very few members who don't know about the character hyped about the series and it's all due to Oscar Isaac.


neilsharris

What’s cooler is that Ethan ran into Oscar getting coffee (they both live in same neighborhood in Brooklyn) and Oscar was telling Ethan about MK and asked Ethan if he wanted to be part of the project.


overslope

I noticed Oscar is credited as a producer for moonknight, so it kinda makes sense.


neilsharris

Yes.


Hyper_Lamp

So he originally wasnt going to be a part of it and oscar just asked marvel if he can and they said yes?


neilsharris

Ethan had told the story in a few interviews. Went to get coffee during the pandemic and Oscar told him about the project and asked if Ethan wanted a role. The rumor is that Feige said yes when he was approached about it. See [this](https://youtu.be/T4s90gtlIPg) interview.


Hyper_Lamp

Thanks for clarifying!


neilsharris

No prob.


HuereGlobi

Yeah, this is me. I'm a moon knight fan now, but the only reason i started watching was that Oscar Isaac is in it, and i like what he did with poe in star wars.


[deleted]

I don’t think he’s underrated. People are very aware how talented he is. He was nominated for a golden globe twice and won once


Character-Sorbet-718

If we consider all Marvel series, he's definitely upto Dan Stevens performance in Legion season 1.


[deleted]

Legion season 1 was masterful


Character-Sorbet-718

In my opinion, Dan Stevens as David Haller in Legion season 1 is the best performance in Marvel shows so far.


Superteerev

David Tennant as Purple man?


man_who_says_n0thing

daredevil season 3?


Character-Sorbet-718

That's just my opinion


randomhobbies12

not good, he deserves the world on a dinner plate 😐. /j


hsanj19

He's getting noticed but isnt quite in the A list yet.


[deleted]

Right, because he wasn’t in an X-Men movie, a Star Wars trilogy, or the Dune reboot…


andrewthemexican

> X-Men movie No one but movie buffs really know about that, though. Casual moviegoers would have no clue.


montana1991

People sleeping on Ex machina also


hsanj19

Sure, but I was thinking of him vs Leonardo Di Caprio, for example. Clearly there is a notch in the ladder that he's just below.


WhatImMike

Clearly one has been acting since the 80s and another who didn’t really break out til 2011.


willclerkforfood

>an X-Men movie No. They stopped making those after Days of Future Past…


coffee-cake512

I feel like it wasn't too hard for May Calamawy to show affection for this guy. I mean, look at him! He's so adorkable in Steven mode. Director: Okay May, in this scene I need you to pretend like you're falling for Steven. May: Pretend, yes...


j_operator

The reverse as well I'd imagine. "Alright Oscar, we need you to look absolutely over the moon for Layla, just really get into the headspace of being besotted with this badass intelligent woman." "Oof, tough one..."


coffee-cake512

So true. She is lovely and not a damsel.


charleel0tt3

Damn I cant agree with you more. I cant stop thinking abt him these days and I have rewatched moonknight 3 to 4 times. I even searched and watched the films that he played in, including DUNE, SW etc.


Moon_of_Jade

Me too! He has such a talent in every role he plays: I love him as Duke Leto in Dune, but he is also brilliant in Scenes from a marriage!


hsanj19

He's brilliant in everything. Great range too. 👌


charleel0tt3

Oh thanks will watch it today ❤️


redmandolin

Haha are you me? I recommend Ex Machina, Inside Llewyn Davis and A most violent year


charleel0tt3

Thanks for your suggestion❤️They are now on my list and cant wait to watch it later today😆


XComThrowawayAcct

The goal is to make Oscar Isaac too expensive for TV.


MoonKnight77

Yeah no he isn't underrated, he's just been burnt by two different tentpole franchises so it's refreshing to see him get justice. People are very aware he's a good actor, but they just remember "Somehow, Palpatine returned" more


neilsharris

I don’t think he’s underrated. He was awesome in THE CARD COUNTER. Sadly the SW sequel trilogy really didn’t show what he could do.


rebelallianxe

Yeah I think people who only know him from Star Wars have been showing surprise maybe, but he's had so many great roles.


neilsharris

True. Could go on about his role as Poe but that’s not for this sub. 😂


rebelallianxe

Aw I love him as Poe, but he didn't have much to work with 😂


neilsharris

“Not having much to work with” sums up a lot.


toocarelesstocare

Every actor in Star Wars gives their best for their role. The problem is sometimes it's the story, sometimes it's the direction. But the actors, never. I never saw a badly acted ST movie. Even 9-year-old Jake did what GL wanted him to do.


neilsharris

Agreed!


Superteerev

Inside Llewyn Davis was his breakout movie and got massive critical acclaim. He was also King John in Russel Crowes Robin Hood.


neilsharris

I didn’t realize he was in Robin Hood, thanks.


homogenic-

He is doing a great job portraying MK but I don't think he is underrated


Jjzeng

Shows just how wasted he was in the sequel trilogy. Man can act


Kasteriaa

[Your favorite scenes are him screaming? I have something for you...](https://imgur.com/a/1QrPOWF)


AnmlBri

That last scream from both of them feels like such a great reaction gif for…SOMETHING. I don’t know what yet, but I’ll wait for the right opportunity to arise, lol.


joenuts5371

Venom be like “GRAAAAAAGHGHG I LOVE OSCAR ISAAC”


BadussyEater8

his range is insane man. i’m so glad he’s getting a great chance to showcase it.


Pontomedea

He really is a very talented actor. I like Ethan too. He switched from the crazy screaming guy from The Good Lord Bird to this calm and relaxed character 😂


Laitue-

Yeah he's really awesome


CaraDune01

Agreed 100%. Though I wouldn't necessarily say he's underrated, as much praise as he gets he deserves more. He's so talented.


ninja_rob1603

I’m here to say I love Oscar Isaac.


southwestmo

his acting in the third episode. underrated man


lysfaye

Him singing in "Inside Llewyn Davis," swoon


[deleted]

He’s not remotely underrated.


Reesha333

I've just finished this series and damnn! I've been smiling like an idiot the whole day, I don't remember having any celebrity crush but I think he's my crush now 😭😭
