MoonKnight costume designer Meghan Kasperlik sheds light on her process of adapting the classic Marvel Comics outfits for the MCU in our latest interview:
Marvel's Moon Knight features some of Marvel's most stunning costumes to date. Played by Oscar Isaac, Moon Knight is one of the most unusual Marvel superheroes in the MCU. The character has been diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder, meaning Isaac plays multiple alters of the same superhero - with two distinctive costumes in four episodes. The outfits are mostly faithful to the comics, but improved for live-action.
Meghan Kasperlik: I worked with Marvel to create the costume. There was inspiration taken from the comics, but you have to elevate and bring it up to the next level. I like a lot of texture in costumes, so I wanted to make sure there was a lot of texture in both the Moon Knight and Mr. Knight costumes.
In episode 2, we filmed it at night, so I wanted the light to bounce off of that. I felt it was very effective. We customized the lapels - they're the Khonshu symbol. Also on the waistcoat, there are custom-made Khonshu buttons, so they were a symbol. You have to look real close, but they're there. Custom gloves, custom shirt... Everything was custom-made to give it an extra-special feel.
There's little hints throughout in the costume to signify who the character is and what their relation is, either to Khonshu or to Egypt or something referenced from the comics. In this case, I wanted the costume to be very simple in dress and silhouette, but then I added the heavier sandals so they could weigh down the character. Also, you don't see it in every scene, but Harrow always has a pair of bracelets. He has one on each wrist. Engraved into the bracelet is Ammit's death prayer, based on an ancient Egyptian death book displayed at the Met museum in New York. I took a reference from that. It's hard to see, but they are engraved; it is an inscription.
It ended up all being hand-sewn, because we needed to be able to get it on the actor with a little stretch to it. My lovely team at Budapest custom-made and hand-stitched the entire costume, including the gloves and the shoes. And there's a custom-made leather collar, and leather-strappings, hand-painted with the Khonshu symbol. Very faint, but they are there. Everything was very much personalized for him.
