The 6th and final episode of Marvel Studios’ Moon Knight gave us everything we wanted. We finally got to see Ammit in her true form, Layla as the Scarlet Scarab, Mr. Knight in action, and Jake Lockley himself! And all this being packed in an episode of 42 minutes is very impressive since they had to wrap up so much in so little time.
In a recent interview, Entertainment Weekly sat down with Moon Knight Executive Producer Grant Curtis to break down the finale’s biggest twists — and what the future might hold for Marc, Steven, and Jake.
What It Was About The Idea Of Jake That Excited Him
Well, it’s one of the major components of the comic book. Marc Spector has dissociative identity disorder, and usually that centers around three different characters: Marc Spector, Steven Grant, and Jake Lockley. We realized early on in the development process, led by the great Jeremy Slater, that we had an embarrassment of riches. We had Marc Spector, we had Steven Grant, we had Jake Lockley, we had Arthur Harrow, we had Layla El-Faouly, we had Khonshu, we had Ammit. It really came down to the fact that [we wanted] to tell Marc’s most intimate, engaging journey. It really became a two-hander between Marc Spector and Steven Grant. That didn’t leave Jake out of the picture, because we kind of thread Jake Lockley throughout, from episode 1 and beyond. But it really became evident that the best place to put him was at the end and make that the tag and [set up] the new journey ahead at the end of episode 6.

How Oscar Isaac Improvised Jake Speaking Spanish
It was all Oscar. That was not on the page. Oscar brought so many narrative elements to this show, both in front of the camera and behind. He’s a storyteller first and foremost, and that was just one of the many contributions he made to this series.
