Moon Knight Director Criticizes Dwayne Johnson's Black Adam Movie

The director of Moon Knight, in an interview with Filfan, called out WB for the absence of Egyptian presence and themes in the upcoming Black Adam film. When it came to his own work, Diab wanted to make the most of every chance to promote Egypt, therefore he hired a number of key crew members who were all Egyptians:

“I wanted to showcase Egyptian talents as much as I could. Every culture should be represented by its people so I hired actors, an editor, a costume designer, an art director & a composer who are all Egyptian.”

“I was really annoyed with DC when they set Black Adam in a fictional middle eastern country as an excuse to cast non-Egyptians, when it was obviously meant to be in Egypt. Representation opportunities shouldn’t be wasted... But it’s not a full mistake since it’s based on an iteration of the comics that doesn’t mention Egypt.”
