Warning: spoilers ahead for episode 1 of Moon Knight on Disney Plus.
The first episode of Moon Knight on Disney Plus excited fans beyond belief following its release date this week, while also sparking several questions that are yet to be answered in the Marvel series.
One of the questions was whether the human statue in the cast that Steven Grant (Oscar Isaac) befriends and confides in about his day in London is actually Crawley, a significant character from the comic books.
In Moon Knight, the main character has Dissociative Identity Disorder, meaning that at times he embodies the persona Steven, an awkward British museum gift shop worker, while at other times he reverts back to being Marc Spector, an American mercenary with lethal skills.
Much of the first episode follows Steven as he discovers Marc’s presence in his life, as well as the fact that Marc is a conduit for the Egyptian moon god Khonshu, fighting injustice as a masked hero.
Steven is shown speaking to a human statue, who’s painted gold and doesn’t respond to anything the protagonist has to say.
Who is Crawley in the Marvel comics?
In the original source material, Crawley – full name Bertrand Crawley – is a former textbook salesperson who has become homeless.
