There’s no way this couldn’t be Oscar Isaac’s best performance. He wasn’t just good as one character. He was extraordinary as Marc Spector, Steven Grant, and Jake Lockley. One person had to pull off three contrasting personalities in one series. More than that, he had to pull off their mannerisms as well.
Steven Grant was always so anxious that he could barely speak up for himself. Even when he was silent, Steven looked nervous. Marc Spector was a hardened soldier who was always sure of what needed to be done. Sometimes that meant losing everything he loved. He was stiff, never smiled, and spoke in a deeper tone. Jake Lockley wasn’t seen for longer than a minute. Nevertheless, that short serving size was different. He was angrier and more ruthless than Marc was. This writer can’t wait to see this in action for longer than a few seconds.
Oscar Isaac’s roles as En Sabah Nur in X-Men Apocalypse and Miguel O’Hara Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse weren’t as good as his performances in Moon Knight. In fact, it may not even be fair to compare them. It’s three performances against two. Then again, that just speaks to the greatness that is Oscar Isaac.
