Sarah Finn, the casting director of Marvel Studios, discussed the prerequisites to join the enormous family of actors in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and its I work for the company managed by Kevin Feige during a lengthy interview with TheWrap discussing the upcoming debut of the Young Avengers.
The casting process hasn’t altered significantly since the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s launch in 2008, according to Finn, who listed the important factors that must be taken into account when choosing an actor for a new character:
“In many ways, it’s not all that different. The pressure is always to find the right person, and to find someone who our directors, Kevin [Feige], Lou [D’Esposito], Victoria [Alonso] and all the powers that be at Marvel will think is great and hopefully a star. charisma that audiences will love. And that it can satisfy the fans. That’s always the end.”
“Even in this new phase, for example, we have had established stars like Oscar Isaac. And earlier on, when we cast Chris Hemsworth, he wasn’t a well-known actor. When we cast Chris Pratt, he wasn’t a familiar face. So initially we did a lot of research and took different risks. While at the moment we are still dealing with established stars but also emerging actors. But for me it’s about making friends with fear and the unknown, because I don’t know what happens next. We humbly say that we know what we will look for, that we will work hard and do our best, but we do not know what we will find.”
We record My Moon Knight, a film that was written by Jeremy Slater (The Umbrella Academy), Beau DeMayo (The Witcher), Sabir Pirzada (Roswell, New Mexico), and Peter Cameron (WandaVision), and directed by Mohamed Diab, Justin Benson, and Aaron Moorhead, with Oscar Isaac playing Steven Grant/Marc Spector, Ethan Hawke playing Arthur Harrow, May Calamawy playing Layla El-Faouly playing Kh (Anton Mogart).
This is the official synopsis:
“The plot of Marvel Studios’ Moon Knight centres on Steven Grant, a timid and kind gift store employee who suffers from a string of blackouts and flashbacks to a life he never had. Steven learns that mercenary Marc Spector shares his body and that he has dissociative identity disorder. The two must negotiate the murky seas of their own identities as they set out on a voyage to a dangerous mystery amid the great Gods of Egypt in response to Steven/opponents’ Marc’s arrival.
