Upon making his Marvel Universe debut in X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) as the titular villain, every Marvel fan hoped to see more of the Poe Dameron Star Wars actor throughout the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Flashforward to 2022, Isaac is in the Marvel spotlight as Marc Spector/Steven Grant in the Moon Knight streaming series, breaking barriers throughout the MCU of how far a Disney series can go in terms of language and violence.
Isaac is a fan-favorite actor and Disney’s go-to man for numerous events, including presenting Oscars at the Academy Awards to sharing inside looks at new entertainment experiences, such as Star Wars Galactic Cruiser at the Walt Disney World Resort.

Oscar Isaac is a family man, often frequenting the Orlando, Florida area to take a break from Hollywood between filming Dune: Part One (2021) and Moon Knight.
When you’re so close to The Walt Disney Company in so many aspects, it seems nearly impossible to indulge in any of their competitor’s offerings, especially Universal Studios Orlando Resort.

Poe Dameron doesn’t go to Rise of the resistance when he wants to have fun. He chooses Velocicoaster.
Well done Universal, well done.
