Moon Knight Writer Reveals He Pitched the Show as Ghostbusters Meets Brendan Fraser's The Mummy

Marvel's latest series on Disney+, Moon Knight, is easily one of the most unique entries in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to date. The action-packed story feels less like a comic book superhero tale and a bit like something more epic with its dive into the lore of the Egyptian gods and even a bit of globe-trotting adventure as well. And it turns out, that unique quality of Moon Knight goes all the way back to the pitch. Moon Knight head writer Jeremy Slater recently told ComicBook.com's Adam Barnhardt that he pitched the series as something along the lines of Ghostbusters meets Brendan Fraser's The Mummy.

Leslie Grace Describes Working With Brendan Fraser On Batgirl, Now We Want To Work With Brendan Fraser

While we still don't have a release date for HBO Max's upcoming "Batgirl" movie, we do know just enough to be excited about the mysterious forthcoming DC property. There's little doubt that "In The Heights" standout Leslie Grace will be an impressive Barbara Gordon/Batgirl, and initial photos reveal a great, comic-accurate costume. Equally exciting is the return of Michael Keaton's iteration of Bruce Wayne/Batman, a role he made iconic in the still-beloved pair of Tim Burton-helmed "Batman" films.

The Daily Stream: Turn Off Your Brain And Love Brendan Fraser In Encino Man

The Pitch: Dave Morgan (Sean Astin) is your average '90s teenager in California. He's not the most popular kid in school, but he's also not the biggest nerd, he's just Dave. Outside of his best friend Stoney (Pauly Shore at his most Pauly Shore), Dave coasts by as just another nobody, but thinks digging an in-ground pool in his backyard will be his ticket to popularity. While digging the foundation, he and Stoney discover a block of ice containing a caveman. The duo store the block in the garage, but much to their surprise, the ice block thaws and the caveman (Brendan Fraser) escapes fully intact, but naturally confused as all hell by 1990s society. Dave and Stoney decide to pass off the caveman as a foreign exchange student named Link, and inadvertently turn him into the most popular guy in school.
