Moon Knight filming locations

Steven Grant (Oscar Isaac) is an unassuming employee of the souvenir store in the London museum. Steven discovers in the course of his little life, his second personality of Marc Spector, as well as his troubles. In reality it is not London that we see on the screen but the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest. Built following the Millennium Festivities in 1896, the museum was inaugurated on December 1, 1906. Its collections consist of ten thousand pieces. Filming for the series began in late April 2021 in Hungary and ended in early October in Jordan.

Steven (Oscar Isaac) escapes from a small alpine village in a pastry truck on a small winding road, pursued by armed men. The scene was partly shot on a small serpentine road north of the village of Osilnica in Slovenia. Located in the heart of the Dinaric Alps is the small village of Osilnica. 327 inhabitants live there all year round. The first episode The Goldfish Problemreceived a score of 95% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Steven (Oscar Isaac) decides to go to Central London Storage to find the storage unit to which he has the keys. The Central London Storage used in the series is located far away from London. In reality, the teams used an old disused building accessible from Egry József utca in Budapest, more than 1,700 km from the British capital. It was in the past a former educational building known as BME V2. The most observant will have noticed that the door of Marc’s box has a QR code. It refers to the number 33 of Werewolf by Night, the second comic book where Moon Knight appears.

After killing the jackal summoned by Arthur Harrow (Ethan Hawke), Marc (Oscar Isaac) has a discussion with Steven in a churchyard. Vajdahunyad Castle plays this London churchyard. The center with the glass pyramid is an addition of the production teams. A tribute to the castle of Hunedoara, the one that inspired Dracula, located in Transylvania, the Vajdahunyad castle was built in 1896. The trailer of the Moon Knight TV show recorded 75 million views in the first 24 hours on Youtube.

Layla (May Calamawy) takes Marc (Oscar Isaac) to the home of Anton Mogart (Gaspard Ulliel), an old friend who owns the Senfu sarcophagus. Nádasdy Castle in Hungary was used as the setting for Anton Mogart’s estate. Designed by István Linzbauer and Alajos Hauszmann, Nádasdy Castle is a manor house built between 1873 and 1876. The two glass pyramids were added by the production teams. These two pyramids are very reminiscent of the Louvre pyramid, but in reality they have a scenaristic objective since they allow Marc to communicate with Steven through their reflection.

In the post-credits scene we discover Arthur Harrow (Ethan Hawke) leaving the psychiatric hospital to join a limousine. The outdoor scene of the hospital was shot between hall D and hall E of Hungexpo in Budapest. The Hugexpo congress center in Budapest, which consists of 8 exhibition halls, has been owned by the French group GL Events since 2005. To locate the hospital in London, the post-production teams of Moon Knight have digitally added the Gherkin district to the skyline.
