MoonKnight writer Jeremy Slater reveals why the show didn't use the SunKing as its main villain.

✖ Marvel's first stab at a Moon Knight series was inspired by plenty of separate comic book stories from deep within the source material. There was the live-action introduction of Mr. Knight, one of the most popular uniforms the character's ever worn. Then there was the introduction of the Ennead, the group of gods that largely oversee the rest of the Egyptian pantheon. In light of all that, the series still used an original villain in Ethan Hawke's Arthur Harrow.

"I didn't love the Sun King stuff that much. He was just never one of my favorite villains," Moon Knight head writer Jeremy Slates tells ComicBook.com in a long-ranging interivew.

"When I introduced Harrow in probably the fourth or fifth version of the show, at that point Harrow at the time was sort of modeled on Harrison Ford," Slater adds."My idea was let's tell a story of what happens if Indiana Jones went evil in the sort of twilight years of his life."
