Every Marvel hero needs a villain, an archenemy who can be highly entertaining while also threatening all of existence. And at this point in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s pop culture reign, playing a bad guy in a Marvel project is kind of reserved for icons only. Cate Blanchett, Michael Keaton, Jude Law, Michael B. Jordan — and now Ethan Hawke. The Oscar-nominated actor makes his Marvel debut in Moon Knight on Disney+ where he goes up against Oscar Isaac as the titular vengeance-seeker. But who is Ethan Hawke playing? Arthur Harrow? Who is Arthur Harrow? Even if you’ve watched the first episode, you might still have some questions. Here are some answers! Ethan Hawke plays Arthur Harrow on Moon Knight, a methodical cult leader who’s out to “make the Earth as much like Heaven as possible.” However, what with his whole cult-leader vibe, it’s very likely that his idea of Heaven doesn’t align with anything good. As we see in the first episode of Moon Knight, Harrow worships the Egyptian goddess Ammit. Arthur Harrow does Ammit’s bidding, judging others by clasping their hands, placing a cane with a pair of crocodile heads as its handle between the person’s arms, and letting his tattoo of a scale on his wrist do the work.
