In an interview withThe Direct , Slater blab about the innovation ofMoon Knight ’s Arthur Harrow . Originally , Slater and his squad considered villains such as Raul Bushman , Stained Glass Scarlet , and Zodiac . However , rather than adapt an exist villain , they ultimately “ [ grab ] a name " from a list of " every villain who has ever come out in aMoon Knightcomic , " and used it to create someone new . Read the full quote below :
“ And we really reckon at all of the sorting of classic villain . There was a couple that we talked about ; Stained Glass Scarlet , and you cognize , Zodiac , and dissimilar characters like that . No one really kind of fit the parameters of the story we were enjoin , so we were just like , ‘ You know what , can we just inclose a hombre , and we ’ll snaffle a name from some’—you know , they gave me a list of [ like ] every scoundrel who ’s ever come along in a Moon Knight comic . I just went through and went like , ‘ Arthur Harrow , that sounds like a cool baddie name , countenance ’s go with that . ’ "
Marc Spector ’s comic book of account scourge Bushman was in the first couple versions of the handwriting and was almost the show ’s main villain . There ’s even a citation ofthe name ofMarc ’s mercenary commandant , Bushman , in episode 5 . Before the show ’s fifth sequence , Moon Knightalluded to the desert incident and execution of Layla ’s father by Marc ’s mad partner , which many take over was either another alter in his DID system , or , Bushman . The latter theory proved correct but the Bushman did n’t make the cut due to Slater being uncomfortable with how the character was modernize and wanting to avoid comparisons toBlack Panther ’s Killmonger .
When it was revealed that Hawke would be playing Harrow , the online fandom was very confused given the name ’s insignificance in the comics . course , this only add to the hype border the serial and allowed Slater and company to create original characters that best dish out their story . Unfortunately for Hawke and Harrow , Moon Knight ’s post - credits scenesees Khonshu and Jake Lockley compensate the former craze drawing card what seems to be a fatal visit .
