New Moon Knight Clip Shows Female Character Layla El-Faouly Laying Down A Beating While Oscar Isaac’s Character Stands By And Watches
The latest official Moon Knight clip appears to tease more of the same from Marvel Studios as it shows actress May Calamawy as Layla El-Faouly savaging a bunch of goons while Oscar Isaac’s character stands around and watches.
As you can see above, the clip shows Layla El-Faouly encouraging Isaac’s character to summon his Moon Knight suit. However, he visibly does not understand what she’s talking about.
It’s understandable given Isaac’s playing Moon Knight and previous trailers have indicated he appears to have multiple personalities and the right doesn’t know what the left is up to.

She then gives him some kind trinket telling him to keep it safe. Apparently their little conversation is none to pleasing to Ethan Hawke’s Arthur Harrow, who begins to perform a summoning ritual while his goons attempt to keep Layla and Isaac’s character contained.
As they attempt to escape up a staircase, Layla is able to exit the room, but Isaac’s Steven Grant is confronted by one of Harrow’s goons. However, some kind of time anomaly appears to take place as Isaac is shown once again climbing the stairs and Layla’s character is pummeling the goon at the top of the stairs.
She beats the goon so badly that she slams him up against a wall and then tosses him off the balcony into a pile of wood. As the two then flee the scene, Isaac’s Grant exclaims, “That was awesome.”
The clip ends with Harrow finishing off his ritual and some kind of demonic creature clawing its way out of the portal.
The clip saw numerous fans criticize it on Twitter.

“Wow another girl power focused show, can’t wait to…SKIPPPPPP!!!!”, wrote Gerub10.
