Everyone’s Talking About ‘Moon Knight’

Just when you thought you’d seen it all – Marvel Studios has just debuted their thrilling trailer for the series ‘Moon Knight’ that has fans everywhere on the edge of their seats. Starring actors Oscar Isaac, Ethan Hawke, and May Calamawy, the series follows a gift-shop employee named Steven Grant as he deals with his warped perception of reality. 

After discovering that he suffers from a dissociative identity disorder that causes him to share his body with mercenary Marc Spector, Grant has to tackle constant blackouts and memories of another life whilst battling common enemies.

Since its announcement, ‘Moon Knight’ has been listed as one of Marvel’s most mysterious and complex projects in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. That being – fans did not know what to expect from Isaac’s portrayal of the character or Marvel boss Kevin Feige’s plans for the show. Unlike the shows that have already premiered from Phase 4, ‘Moon Knight’ will represent a more sinister and darker storyline. 

The series takes the line “it was only just a dream” to a whole new level. As Grant tries to navigate through his identities, viewers can expect confusion, after confusion, after confusion. And just by watching the trailer, it is clear that Grant and Spector might not be the only hosts of the body – seriously though, who is Marc? 

Many have also speculated that the show will finally introduce the more supernatural elements from the comics to the MCU. A quick scene from the trailer shows Moon Knight plummeting a werewolf-like creature into the ground. No one knows for sure as to what this creature might be, but fans are hoping that it’ll be revealed to be Werewolf by Night from the Spotlight #2 comics.

How ‘Moon Knight’ will tie in with the other of Marvel’s Phase 4 projects is still yet to be determined. All we can do now is wait and watch as his story unfolds in March.
