“Moon Knight” director Mohamed Diab originally pitched the Disney+ series to focus heavily on Egypt.
Why? Because to him, the nation and culture have been “inauthentically portrayed throughout Hollywood’s history,” as Diab told SFX Magazine.
The most recent example of such “orientalism,” as Diab pointed out, was seen in Patty Jenkins’ “Wonder Woman 1984,” which featured depictions deemed by some as stereotypes in a sequence supposedly set in Egypt.
“You never see Cairo. You always see Jordan shot for Cairo, Morocco shot for Cairo, sometimes Spain shot for Cairo. This really angers us,” Diab said. “I remember seeing ‘Wonder Woman 1984’ and there was a big sequence in Egypt and it was a disgrace for us. You had a sheik — that doesn’t make any sense to us. Egypt looked like a country from the Middle Ages. It looked like the desert.”
Diab directs four of the six episodes for Disney+’s comic book adaptation of Marvel series “Moon Knight,” starring Oscar Isaac in the titular role as a mercenary who becomes possessed by the Egyptian moon god Khonshu. Diab previously helmed the films “Cairo 678” and “Amira.”
