Oscar Isaac Reveals He Tried to Sneak an F-bomb Into Moon Knight

By Adam Barnhardt

Oscar Isaac really, really, really wanted to say "f-ck" in Moon Knight. In a new interview ahead of the release of the show's fourth episode on Wednesday, Isaac revealed he wanted to pay homage to a classic video meme in a moment on the series. Despite filming some takes where he dropped an f-bomb, Isaac admitted Marvel wasn't having it.

"My brother and I, there's this meme that we think is really, really funny. It's this English kid that's got a tie on his head," Isaac said in a recent interview with ScreenRant. "He's rapping, and then just a punch comes out of nowhere and punches him and he goes, 'Oh, f**k, I can't believe you've done this!' A lot of people know what I'm talking about. And so I was like, 'We've got to find an opportunity to do that.'

So Isaac tried imitating the mega-viral video. He filmed the needed takes, but it wasn't meant to be. Marvel Studios chose to not use any of the f-bombs in question and alas, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is still without it's first "f-bomb."

"And this seemed like the perfect time to do it. So I did it," Isaac added. "I did a lot of takes where I actually say, 'Oh, f**k' and I thought, in Disney, because it's TV or whatever, that you get one F-bomb. But ultimately, not even one. We don't even get the one, so we had to change it. But basically, that is just my homage to that."

Despite Isaac confirming no f-bombs are in the series, many Moon Knight fans were discussing to potential of an f-bomb in an earlier episode. Now, it would seem that the Fist of Khonshu himself has debunked the moment.

Four episodes of Moon Knight are now streaming on Disney+, and new episodes will be released every Wednesday.
