Ahead of the release of Moon Knight, the latest Marvel TV series to launch on Disney Plus, fans were hoping the live-action take on the character would be a fitting homage to the comics, unleashing darkness and brutality galore.
They can rest assured that the masked hero is safe in Oscar Isaac’s hands, who is able to masterfully convey the protagonist’s inner torment and darkly funny humour in a show unlike anything seen in the MCU so far – complete with Indiana Jones references, fascinating Egyptian mythology and a vital focus on mental health.
Moon Knight follows the tale of Marc Spector, a Jewish-American mercenary with dissociative identity disorder who also happens to be a conduit for the Egyptian moon god Khonshu, which is how he’s able to summon his unique superhero suit.
However, Marc isn’t the first personality that viewers will watch Oscar portray, as the series opens with the actor embodying the persona of an awkward British museum gift shop worker called Steven Grant, another of Marc’s distinct identities.
Steven believes that he suffers from a sleeping disorder, resulting in him becoming extremely fatigued as he stumbles his way through his days.
After experiencing blank spots in his memory and waking up in peculiar – and extremely dangerous – situations, he discovers Marc lurking in the back of his mind, as well as learning about the hold Khonshu has on their lives.
