The chaos of “Moon Knight” is coming, and it’s going to be epic.
series of Disney+ dropped during Super Bowl LVI on Sunday, and fans are getting an better look at the titular vigilante.With even more of the Egyptian imagery that plays such a key role to the story, to more, increasingly unsettling looks at the madness that plagues Oscar Isaac's troubled hero, this spot whets the appetite for the forthcoming series while still keeping the mystery shrouded and shadows and chaos.Moon Knight is secretly Marc Spector, a mercenary who may or may not be infused with powers from Khonshu the Moon God after being left for dead in the Egyptian desert.However, it may all be in his head, as he also suffers from dissociative identity disorder. In the comics, Spector has used his various identities to fight crime, but they've also been one of his biggest obstacles for obtaining any sort of normal life.Ethan Hawke, meanwhile, appears to play something of a long-haired messianic figure with kneeling acolytes.
Wilson Chapman editorGet ready to meet the many, many sides of Marc Spector.During the Super Bowl, Marvel Studios unveiled the second trailer for “Moon Knight,” the Oscar Isaac-starring limited series premiering March 30 on Disney Plus.The Marvel Cinematic Universe series stars Isaac as Moon Knight, a character first created by Doug Moench and Don Perlin in 1975 for the comic series “Werewolf by Knight.” In most depictions of the character, Moon Knight is the secret identity of Marc Spector, a former CIA operative turned mercenary who dies during a job in Sudan but is revived and turned into the conduit of the Egyptian moon god Khonshu, becoming a Batman-esque vigilante.

Marvel kicked off 2021 with the unusual and beloved “WandaVision,” then the superhero studio is doing the same in 2022 with the strange “Moon Knight” series. In the comics, there have been many iterations of the Moon Knight character, but in the upcoming Disney+ series, it appears they are merging the best of all worlds of the character: a dark and gritty, street-level vigilante like Batman, an eerie and spectral supernatural element, and the idea of a broken and fractured mental health in a character who’s not entirely in control of himself.
I’d like to think that, in my time occupying a morsel of space on this pale blue dot we call home, I’ve developed the ability to follow the structure of a film from start to finish; granted, some may be more confusing than others, some may be an incomprehensible mess, some may hardly be worthy of being called movies. Whatever the case may be, I pride myself on what many would barely consider a skill to mostly decipher what’s happening in most films, no matter how perplexing or under the direction of Tommy Wiseau.
Marvel boss Kevin Feige has described upcoming Disney+ series Moon Knight as “brutal” and a show that sees “the boundaries shifting on what we’re able to do.”A first look at the upcoming Disney+ series, which sees Oscar Isaac play the titular role of Marc Spector, “a mercenary who has numerous alter egos”, arrived in a trailer last month. The show will debut on Disney+ on March 30.“He’s brutal,” Feige told Empire of Spector, adding: “It’s been fun to work with Disney+ and see the boundaries shifting on what we’re able to do. There are moments [in the series] when Moon Knight is wailing on another character, and it is loud and brutal, and the knee-jerk reaction is, ‘We’re gonna pull back on this, right?’“No.
When Marvel Studios announced their “Moon Knight” series starring Oscar Issac, a lot of folks seemed to be puzzled why that obscure Marvel character was given an adaptation on Disney+ above others still waiting to get the live-action treatment.
