Alongside a brand new trailer, Marvel has revealed that Moon Knight will premiere on Disney+ on March 30, 2022.
The new trailer and release date were revealed during the Arizona Cardinals and Los Angeles Rams Wild Card game and shows off our first real look at the upcoming series.
Set to Kid Cudi’s Day ‘N’ Nite, the Moon Knight trailer follows Marc Spector, who at times thinks he is another man named Steven. He also seemingly can’t tell the difference between “life and dreams.” We see him struggling with this and even chaining himself to bed and waking up not realizing he was the one who did it. We also get our first real look at Ethan Hawke’s Arthur Harrow, a cult leader who is said to be inspired by David Koresh.
It was previously unknown who Hawke was playing, but the closed captions on the YouTube trailer for Moon Knight on Marvel Entertainment’s page reveal he will become Harrow, a character who only appeared in one comic – Moon Knight Vol. 2 #2 – and was a mad scientist who was working on stopping pain in the human body by using human subjects.
As the trailer continues, we see Spector “embracing the chaos” and becoming the titular Moon Knight, all while beating someone senseless in a bathroom.
Alongside the trailer, Marvel also released a brand-new poster that features a close-up of Moon Knight’s arms and his weapon of choice – the moon-shaped shurikens known as Crescent Darts.
Oscar Isaac stars as Marc Spector, a character who suffers from a dissociative personality disorder. Disney’s official description reveals a bit more of what’s in store for the series.
“The multiple identities who live inside him find themselves thrust into a deadly war of the gods against the backdrop of modern and ancient Egypt,” the official description reads.
