Moon Knight
Appearing as a guest on The Watch podcast, Ethan Hawke admitted he joined the supporting cast of Moon Knight because it’s currently “where [he’]s at” in his acting career.
Well, it’s where I’m at as an actor. A lot of it, to be honest, I love the fact that Moon Knight is a lesser-known story and allows more creative freedom. The director is Mohammed Diab and he’s a brilliant guy. A lot of it is Oscar, to me, to be honest with you. I find him to be a very exciting player in my field. I like what he’s doing with his life. He reminds me of the actors, when I first arrived at New York, that I looked up to. Oscar’s younger than me, and I like the way he carries himself, and I like the way he thinks. And in general, good things happen when you’re in the room with people that you like the way they think, right?

The latest Raya and the Last Dragon trailer includes audio of “Lead the Way” by Jhené Aiko, one of the film’s original songs.
