Jake Lockley

Moon Knight fans are hoping for a Jake Lockley suit, voicing their thoughts on how it should look in contrast to the other character costumes on Twitter.

A costume inspired by the appearance of Khonshu isn’t worth ruling out either and could certainly deliver an iconic and visually striking suit. There are a number of possibilities if they do go in this direction. Of course, the season’s run hasn’t concluded without some welcome surprises and bombshells.

"Marc Spector has no idea how troubled he truly is."

“But he’s such a stylish Jake. It's like if [you met him, you’d] be like, ‘wow, so you're Jake Lockley,’ in a way that you're kind of enamored and scared at the same time. It just feels like it was just a really fun chance to let the instinct of, after having played these two guys, imagining what else could be in there and the excitement of shooting that scene.” Diab “loves that he’s a Latino” character, and even as Jake walks through the hospital pushing Harrow’s wheelchair, he’s humming a Guatemalan hymn. “The thought of, ‘He's just going to have the one line that he speaks, it should be in Spanish.’ There's something that's ominous about him, the kind of control that he has versus, you know, both Marc and Steven that have been so off foot. And, for those looking for more Jake, a repeat viewing of the season might be in order, too. Heading into Episode 2 " Summon the Suit," Moorhead explains, “When [Marc] is talking to himself in the pyramid at the end of the episode, you'll notice it's actually a three sided pyramid that are progressively more and more broken. Almost in unison, both Benson and Moorhead confirm, “That is intended to be Jake.” The one that he kicks out and smashes is actually a tiny, tiny little clue to look out for three instead of two.” While also trying to ride this line that it's not literally going to be a creature from the descent popping out. Going so far back as Episode 1 " The Goldfish Problem," cinematographer Gregory Middleton points out that after Steven wakes up in bed following the cupcake truck chase, “There's a shot of a [split] of mirrors and there's this barely third reflection.” Barely three reflections. Rather, the team focused on “everyone else who's totally unfamiliar with the character and the dynamic,” recognizing “we have to make sure that the mystery works as satisfying for the newcomers to the Moon Knight story.” Episode 3 " The Friendly Type" offers more clues to Jake’s role in everything, as racing through Cairo neither Marc nor Steven knows who’s in control and carrying out some of these bloody deeds.

Moon Knight Episode 6 is out on Disney+ right now and with it comes some answers to our Moon Knight questions. So what is the Moon Knight ending explained ...

In the comics, Jake Lockley is just a taxi driver. It’s possible we actually met Lockley in Episode 5, as he may have been in control when “Marc,” sporting a broken nose, confronted Harrow in the afterlife and tried to attack him. Now free of working the night shift enacting supernatural vengeance on behalf of a moon god, Marc and Steven are free to live peacefully, together in Steven’s cluttered flat. After the credits start to roll, we cut to a new scene — one set in the previously unseen Sienkiewicz Psychiatric Hospital (named after groundbreaking Moon Knight artist Bill Sienkiewicz). It turns out that that’s where Harrow ended up after being bonded to Ammit. Yeah, it makes sense that no one would believe this guy about how the Egyptian demoness of soul devouring is living inside of him. The demoness is in a mortal prison, and Moon Knight isn’t keen on continuing to do Khonshu’s bloody bidding. And night falls on Moon Knight, bringing the fifth Marvel Studios original, live-action series to a close.

The season finale for "Moon Knight" featured a post-credit scene that confirmed the existence of a new personality for Oscar Isaac's Marc Spector.

The character of Jake Lockley, like Steven Grant, is just one of the personalities that Marc alternates between as a result of his mental disorder, and each is supposed to represent a different side of Khonshu. In the Marvel Comics, Jake is a persona used by Marc Spector and he works as a cab driver who gathers information that Marc then uses. As he is pushed along the ward, Harrow notices that several of the staff members have been killed, while the man pushing him whistles a jaunty tune, and he then pushes him inside a limousine waiting outside the facility.

The end credits scene for Moon Knight's finale in episode 6 finally confirmed a major fan theory about Marc Spector and Steven Grant.

As in this end credits scene, Jake is usually a driver – though in the comics he was a New York cabbie, with connections to the criminal underworld that were useful to Moon Knight’s crime-fighting. How exactly Jake was created in this TV version remains to be seen – as does whether we’ll see him again. He’s more of an assassin, a true “fist of Khonshu” who has no trouble executing people in cold blood. Later, when the duo escaped from an imagined mental hospital, Marc had to free Steven from a sarcophagus – but you also see another unopened sarcophagus standing in a room, which neither of them attempts to open. Well, in the comics Moon Knight almost always has his alternate Steven Grant and Marc Spector identities, and Jake Lockley is usually right in there with them. There had been clues for a while that Steven wasn’t the only extra identity Marc had.

We break down what happened in the 'Moon Knight' finale and what it means for the futures of Marc Spector, Steven Grant, Jake Lockley, and Scarlet Scarab.

For our money, a version of Moon Knight that dialed down the focus on Khonshu, Ammit, and the suspiciously Eternals-esque council of gods who creep on humanity from the sidelines, would've been a much better ride. Khonshu's inside, by the way, introducing Harrow to Lockley. Then? Lockley executes Harrow. If we're being honest, the permanence of Harrow's death probably depends on whether or not Ethan Hawke wants to return to the MCU after Moon Knight. (Considering how close he is with Isaac, we'd be willing to be he'll come back to the party.) Regardless, if/when Isaac returns, there will be three of him! Though Moon Knight found itself lost in the metaphorical and literal desert more often than not, it was nice to see Grant and Spector, as Mr. Knight and Moon Knight, respectively, finally fight alongside each other without bickering. In Moon Knight's mid-credits scene, we see Lockley pick up Harrow from the psychiatric hospital and toss him in an all-white limo. Admirable! Spector and Grant share a tender moment—as two Oscar Isaacses do—before resurrecting in the real world. Now, for the week of May 1, Chef Feige is serving up the season finale of Moon Knight, paired with the premiere of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. (Check back here this Friday for Esquire's coverage of Doctor Strange. Which, we promise, is worth coming back for.

Moon Knight's final episode makes a new Egyptian superhero out of Layla, the Scarlet Scarab — and finally reveals the third personality of Steven Grant and ...

And comics can’t help us much here, because Layla is an almost entirely original character to the Moon Knight TV series. Jake isn’t the only star of Moon Knight’s credits scene: Khonshu has picked up some modern threads and modern conveyance. A nattily-suited Khonshu is a staple of Moon Knight comics, and he looks just as good in live action as on the page. Moon Knight has been hinting at the existence of a third personality since early in the series, sprinkling the story with moments when both Steven and Marc experienced the blackouts that usually indicated the other one was taking over. Now we know exactly who was in there: The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s take on Jake Lockley. There’s not much we know about him at this point. There’s a third personality neither of them are aware of, and his name is Jake Lockley.

Jake Lockley is vitally important to Marc Spector in the comics, but what should fans know about this additional personality?

In the context of the early comics, Jake Lockley was basically a disguise created to fulfill all of the previously mentioned roles. It's a dynamic that would have been interesting to play through on the page but might actually work better in the MCU. The comic book variation is definitely willing to get his hands dirtier than alters like Steven Grant but isn't quite as deadly as Moon Knight himself. Lockley was created as the other side of the coin. The earlier narratives did not explore topics of mental health in quite the same way. He knows the streets like the back of his hand thanks to years of being in the industry. He resided in Mexico under the personality, but of course, couldn't stop himself from helping those in need. One cannot exist without the other, as they are in a perfect balance. There's ruggedness and grittiness to the suit that allows him to fit in amongst some seedier crowds. It's in direct contrast to the bright whites of the Moon Knight or Mr. Knight uniforms. Boasting a strong New York accent, Jake Lockley spends his time as a yellow cab driver in the big apple. Each of Moon Knight's alters has a very specific personality type that sets them apart from the other characters.

The Moon Knight Episode 6 finale finally introduced Jake Lockley, Marc's third persona, in its post-credits scene.

This figure brings Arthur outside and tosses him into a limo—and in the back of the limo, Arthur meets Khonshu. Khonshu is very leisurely sitting, and essentially tells Arthur that he's still got his fist of vengeance. This, too, was Jake. Some theorists also believed that one of the conversations in the asylum scenes with "Dr. Harrow" was Jake as well. At the actual end of the show, we saw Marc and Steven still in tune with one another. The only difference now is that Steven and Marc were awake at the same time, operating in coordination. Marc and Steven wanted to live their own life, and Khonshu (voiced with such wonderful wry frustration by F. Murray Abraham) held through with his end of the bargain. After six episodes establishing the identities of Marc Spector (Oscar Isaac) and Steven Grant ( British Oscar Isaac), then each identity denying the other exists, then each realizing the other has basically existed all along, and then, finally, becoming BFFs with each other, Moon Knight finally found its team up in its finale.

The Marvel series 'Moon Knight' finally introduced Marc Spector's third, more violent personality, Jake Lockley. What is Jake like in the comics?

Although Jake is a bit more bloodthirsty in the Moon Knight television series, his purpose in the comics is quite similar to the show's version of Jake. Someone's got to do the dirty work of being a superhero after all. Marc is ashamed of the way Jake operates. However, the comics version of Jake is quite different than the Moon Knight personality. As Distractify previously reported, the comics version of Steven Grant is similar to Bruce Wayne. Jake's strength in the comics is finding valuable informants in people that Steven wouldn't even consider, like the homeless man Crawley, or Gena Landers, the owner of Gena's Diner, per Marvel. Jake Lockley is also one of Marc Spector's identities in the Moon Knight comics.

There's an important Jake Lockley Easter egg in Moon Knight Episode 6, Gods and Monsters, involving the car Jake drives in the mid-credit scene.

In the "Moon Knight" comics, Marc Spector's alternate personality Steven Grant is a millionaire while Lockley is a cab driver (via Marvel Database). It appears that fans could be getting an alternate take on the rich playboy dynamic in the Disney+ series, with Lockley (or perhaps another secret alter ego) serving as the money man. This not only signifies that the prim and proper Egyptian god isn't finished with Marc and Steven, but it also shows that Marvel is taking literal pages out of the "Moon Knight" comic book, in which Steven drives a limo with the very same license plate. The mid-credits scene reveals the long hinted-at existence of Jake. The Marc Spector alter ego kidnaps Harrow-Ammit from a psychiatric hospital in London after Marc and Layla (May Calamawy) trap the Egyptian goddess in Harrow's body and stop him earlier in Episode 6.

"Moon Knight" director Mohamed Diab talks introducing Jake Lockley in the season finale and creating the first Egyptian hero in the MCU.

There has to be a scene at the end that connects us to the MCU. But I think they decided, “You know what, the surprise is that there isn’t, and what’s going to make this show unique is it doesn’t need anything else.” The best compliment we get on the show is when people tell us, “This doesn’t feel like a Marvel show. It feels like a standalone show that feels more dramatic, more dark, grounded.” I feel like we succeeded in bringing Marvel more to our corner. “Moon Knight” is becoming a national pride in Egypt. People treat it like the Egyptian “Black Panther.” They love that behind the camera, there are Egyptians; in front of the camera, there are Egyptians. There’s Egyptian music that the world is enjoying. My answer is this is a show that needs to be watched once and twice and three times. I had to take her to Disneyland and tell Princess Elsa and Anna, “Please tell her that her hair is beautiful.” She never saw anything on TV that looks like her. Thank God I had the chance to do that on this show. Do you feel like the show ends with a definitive answer to that question? Maybe it’s going to be a journey like what happened with “WandaVision.” I wish one day, if there is an expansion, I would be a part of it. If you ask me, I would tell you that “Moon Knight” is here to stay. But the Jake scene certainly suggests that there is more story to tell. All of that suggests a wide-open future for Mark/Steven/Jake and Layla — something Egyptian filmmaker Mohamed Diab, who directed the first, third, fifth and sixth episodes of “Moon Knight” — definitely hopes to help make happen. Marvel recently referred to the episode as the “season finale” of “Moon Knight,” not the series finale.

Starring Oscar Isaac as the titular vigilante, Ethan Hawke, Gaspard Ulliel, and May Calamawy, the series created by Doug Moench, Jeremy Slater, and Don Perlin, ...

The MCU has also made Jake a much more violent version of the comic book alter-ego. The scene ends with Jake shooting and killing Arthur in the backseat, confirming that Marc is still Khonshu’s avatar, but Jake speaks Spanish which has confused Marvel fans. With Jake only speaking Spanish during the scene, we reveal if the character is Spanish in the comics.

Moon Knight episode 6 finally introduced the Jake Lockley persona. What costume will he get, and how will it differ from Marc and Steven's?

And based on how Jake seemingly defeated Arthur Harrow when Steven and Marc couldn’t, his version of Moon Knight could turn out to the most powerful one of them all. The decision to use Mr. Knight as Steven’s costume indicates that Marvel’s intention was to ensure that like the Steven and Marc personalities, their suits would be inherently different from the other two. Moon Knight’s Jake Lockley could get his own unique costume when the character makes his MCU return.

Moon Knight Season 1 has finally ended and the MCU is a much better place with Oscar Isaac in it. The explosive season finale left fans gasping for air.

The only reasoning is that Jake Lockley takes over when he realizes both Marc and Steven are in way over their head and he must get them out of the fix. Jake Lockley of the MCU is a cold blooded killer. Marc’s mind has a secret third persona – Jake Lockley. After Marc and Steven spare Harrow’s life, Lockley takes over and breaks Harrow out of the hospital, shooting the guy in a car as Khonshu watches. He is extremely resourceful and is the beating heart of the entire Moon Knight outfit. He is a British cab driver who has a network of spies and informants throughout the city. This new Moon Knight theory reveals Jake Lockley did much more than just unexplained blackouts for Marc and Steven. It is possible it was Jake Lockley that killed Marc Spector’s mom.
