Usually, when there’s casting underway for a Marvel movie, it’s a big to-do, there’s a long list, there’s a short list, there’s a big list of names in the trades and the back and forth can go on for months. Not so with “Moon Knight,” a new, upcoming Marvel limited series for Disney+ that is expected to hit sometime in 2022, starring Oscar Issac as the underground superhero and Ethan Hawke as the unnamed bad guy.

Some indie stalwarts have been around for so long; you’re kind of surprised when you realize they haven’t worked with another indie veteran. Such is kind of the case with actor Ethan Hawke and indie filmmaker Abel Ferrara.

Ethan Hawke is sharing some behind-the-scenes secrets about how he was cast in Moon Knight!

It was recently announced that Ethan Hawke was joining Marvel’s upcoming Disney+ TV series “Moon Knight”, in which Oscar Isaac will play the titular superhero.

Jay Weissberg The pandemic has slowed some of us down, but Abel Ferrara isn’t a guy to let an opportunity go to waste, even if it’s not clear what he’s actually doing with it. After his COVID-era documentary self-portrait “Sportin’ Life” last September comes “Zeros and Ones,” a murky — in every sense — apocalyptic spy thriller shot at night during the strict lockdown in his adopted city of Rome.

Shia LaBeouf has reportedly signed on to play the lead in Abel Ferrara's next feature film, despite his ongoing legal woes and accusations of abuse by former partner FKA twigs.And Selling Sunset star Chrishell Stause, after catching wind of the news reported by Variety on Thursday, criticizedFerrara's decision to award the 35-year-old actor a 'comeback role.'Replying to Variety's Twitter post, the 40-year-old real estate agent wrote: 'Shoots dogs. Beats women.

Lockdown affected us all in peculiar ways, and given that veteran provocateur Abel Ferrara was pretty damn peculiar, to begin with, it’s no surprise that “Zeros And Ones” — a fiction that makes use of the non-fictional pandemic in ways both fascinating and frustrating — should turn out to be such a conundrum, equal parts confounding and intriguing, repellent and rewarding.

Legendary filmmaker Abel Ferrara has never been a creator to avoid risks. He’s the type of director that will happily tempt fate by going down the path less traveled in the name of art.

Will Thorne Staff WriterShia LaBeouf could be making a comeback turn.Legendary director Abel Ferrara has exclusively told Variety that LaBeouf has signed on to play the lead role in his next feature, which centers on the younger years of Italian Saint Padre Pio. Ferrara’s regular collaborator and close friend Willem Dafoe is also circling a role in the film, according to the director.“We’re doing a film about Padre Pio, he’s a monk from Puglia.
