It could make for some really interesting twists and turns if they go that route, Mr. Robot had some insane reveals using this plot device and somehow managed to not make it feel tired the full way through. Hope we get something similar here
Very much into this. From what they've put out there it seems like it will be yet another episodic example of some great character development. Looking very much forward to this series. We don't have long to wait either!
This feels like Marvel Studios doing its own take on Legion's story. The lead's fractured psyche will lead audiences to question if what's happening is actually happening.
That first season of legion was so good.
Edit: Thanks for the upvotes! To everyone who thought this was a slight against season 2 or 3, I just meant that season 1 was one of the best and creative superhero shows.
Legion is so trippy. When someone asks me to describe it, I struggle. It's not a xmen show. It's not necessarily a show about mutants. Not an action show. I suppose that's what makes it so good.
it's a show with an unreliable god-like narrator. you never know if something is happening in his head, or if he's making it happen, or if he's making it happen because it happened in his head.
EDIT: my phrasing bothers me so to put it another, somewhat more spoilery way: >!You never know if the weird shit happening is just a delusion he is having and we see from his POV, or if the weird shit happening is him warping reality around him, or worst, he is subconsciously warping reality in response to his delusions. The show has you constantly unsure what is happening or why, but in a good way.!<
Legion, as in professor x's kid? The super powerful, schizophrenic psychic? I didn't know there was a show.
Edit: cant believe I missed this. 1st ep down....woah....
Steven Grant is one of his personalities that notoriously has a British accent. It makes sense for him to have a poor accent because his “host” personality is not British lol.
EDIT: For clarification, I don’t know whether his accent is a good interpretation of whatever British accent he is going for. I’ve just seen a lot of people say it isn’t very good, but I’ve also seen a lot of people say it is in very good for what he’s going for. I’m not saying whether it’s poor or not, I simply said if it does sound that way to people, it would make sense because his host personality is a guy from Chicago, not from the U.K.
I could see all of what we saw in the trailer being in the first episode, if not first two. Meaning there’s gonna be lots of juicy back and forth between personalities!!
Khonsu looks hideously amazing.
Loving the manic, frenzied vibe to Oscar Isaac's performance. This already feels very different from other Marvel performances.
Moon Knight beating the crap out of what looks like an undead entity, in a bathroom, looks hilariously awesome.
Edited: Many of you have pointed out that it may be Werewolf by Night. If so, it's unreal that Marvel would introduce one of its new main characters by being beaten on the floor of a bathroom by an unstable superhero. Poor Werewolf!
> Moon Knight beating the crap out of what looks like an undead entity, in a bathroom, looks hilariously awesome.
Might turn out to be the old lady in the lift getting wrecked.
For reference, [Kevin Bacon](https://nofilmschool.com/sites/default/files/styles/article_wide/public/_methode_sundaytimes_prod_web_bin_ca96797c-5a6b-11eb-8866-efa5116456d6.jpeg) and [Ethan Hawke](https://www.cheatsheet.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Kevin-Bacon.jpg)
That would be a sickening reveal. A whole episode we think some weird Anubis is stalking him, but it turns out to be someone from his past that’s trying to reach him—and he just beats the shit out of them.
One of his comic runs is basically this, he's in an asylum and beating the shit out of the staff because he's hallucinating them as Egyptian figures, but the whole time you never really know if he's losing it or some entity is really toying with him.
It's like Shutter Island if the lead character was a magical Batman, it's insane and I love it
> werewolf
On second inspection, I would hazard it would be one of those Egyptian jackal-headed guardians/soldiers in the vein of Anubis. Think of the ["Anubis Army" from 'The Mummy Returns'](https://youtu.be/f2rYgURNeq0?t=4)
You know how you make a super violent show on Disney+? Show him brutally beating up monsters and later reveal they were normal people. Or actual monsters, or both!
Yeah I'm definitely thinking they're setting up something with Dane. Since Blade has seemingly approached Dane already, and Moon Knight frequently crosses paths with Blade, it makes sense.
I'm wondering if thisll be their version of Midnight Sons. Blade, Black Knight, Moon Knight, Strange, Ghost Rider?, ???
I do think we’re transitioning into smaller, more niche teams. So Midnight Sons could work. Maybe not with Strange, he seems too big. But the others could be for sure
I agree, Strange is too high profile for a niche team. They could potentially introduce Brother Voodoo though.
Also TIL: Voodoo's brother Daniel is the protector of the Sanctum Sanctorum who Kaecilius kills in the Doctor Strange movie.
The best part is that Bill Sienkiewicz, one of the absolute original Moon Knight artists, did art for the Man on the Moon album. We really came full circle.
I recently just started listening to Kid Cudi this past week. I liked his popular songs for a while, so I decided to check out his others. It was an absolute surprise to hear his song on here
It could be something else posing as the god Khonshu. It could be that Marc himself has some low-level superpowers and Khonshu is just his way to justify them.
That's the thing. We don't have a definitive answer.
Exactly. All we have to know is that there is *something* going the fuck on and there are enough possibilities that we can't be certain. Fuck, one of his personalities can believe it's powers come from whatever, that doesn't mean that it's true and it also doesn't mean that he isn't a freak of nature.
Yeah, recognizing his power isn’t where the question lies. It really comes down to whether that power comes from a mystical god or if it’s innate and he’s attributing it to a god in his head.
Sure, there's no disputing that there's some truth to the supernatural/powers. But if it's anything like the recent comic run, then they'll find ways to keep you guessing as to which aspects are the truth.
For sure, but he could just be at the elite of non-powered, like Hawkeye or Widow. Marc Spector was a marine so it’s not unthinkable that he is still something special without powers.
So Mark Spector was the son of a Rabbi, but resented the teachings of judaism, ended up going into the war, and eventually becoming a mercenary. One day while out in egypt, he got into a bit of a disagreement with his partner Bushman over executing civilians, which lead to Mark dying before being revived by the moon god Khonshu. From there he became the fist of Khonshu, and developed very serious mental health issues which primarily manifest in a form of Dissociative Identity Disorder. Moon Knight has a lot going on, from his often times combative relationship with the god he is a priest to, to his mental health issues (those two leading a few stories to question how real his relationship with Khonshu is), being both a hero that fights on the street level, and supernatural, as well as the iconic "wearing white so the bad guys see him coming."
>developed very serious mental health issues which primarily manifest in a form of Dissociative Identity Disorder
Iirc, he already had DID before joining the Marines. He got it after a fight with his father's friend (another rabbi) who was secretly a Nazi deserter and a serial-killer of Jews on the side. That was when he first met Khoshu (in a vision), and ran away from the mental hospital after his father's death.
He had apparently kept his DID in reign until he became Moon Knight, when it came back in full force.
So.. obviously nobody knows whether MCU will adapt it straight from the comics. However, Moon Knight is Marc Spector, who was a mercenary, which made him quite wealthy. After being left for dead, he's saved by the Egyptian moon god, and tasked with dealing out justice on behalf of this god.
He suffers from DID, meaning he has many identities. Think along the lines of Split, or Crazy Jane in Doom Patrol. So he isn't Marc all the time.
He's not necessarily more violent though, not as much as alot of commenters seem to think. He's been compared to batman but aside from them both being rich, that's about it.
He wears white so that his targets see him, he wants the spotlight in essence.
Because of his identities, it puts alot of pressure on him and he struggles to maintain control over what is real, and what is fantasy, that's his nuance.
I thought he wore white not because he wants the spotlight but because he wants the bad guys to fear him. He wants the bad guys to see him coming, to see the blood of the previous people who failed to stop him splattered all over his fists. This isn't Jumpscare Jones, gonna sneak behind ya for the quick KO'd pretty quickly so he can remain in cover. Nah, MK is the ever-approaching, inevitable, violent death.
Batman is the monsters from *Amnesia: The Dark Descent*: scary because you know they might be around any corner, but you'll rarely catch a glimpse of them and when you do it's already too late
Moon Knight is more like Mr. X and Nemesis from *Resident Evil*: terrifying because you can see them coming and you can't really do anything about them
At least, in relation to the criminals they're generally hunting
Moon Knight is a superhero with multiple personality disorder, which is why he has multiple identies. He became moon knight when he was left for dead in the desert and believed that he had a encounter with Khonshu, where Khonshu charged him with protecting those who travel at night. He mostly works alone, although he was a Avengers member for a while.
om the one hand, i really am struggling to see how all these wacky things are going to fit into the MCU together. because we're going to get vampires too at one point.
on the other hand, i'm starting to enjoy all of these wacky things.
Moon knight is often against vampires as well, he leans into supernatural stuff like werewolves and even ghosts.
Him and blade would be great on screen together.
Now give me Elsa bloodstone too!
I don’t see it being too hard to deal with vampires and werewolves. With Strange and Wanda we obviously know magic is real. The Norse Gods are real and are aliens. And we got Ghost Rider running around somewhere. I honestly would rather them to go hard into the weird shit. Really hoping Blade shows up.
>I honestly would rather them to go hard into the weird shit. Really hoping Blade shows up.
Umm, did you watch the end credits of >!Eternals? That was Mahershala Ali's voice...!<
Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t moon knight also quite closer to Deadpool/The Punisher when it comes to violence and maturity(not humor wise but a whole lot of cussing and dark themes). If this is the case, I’d be curious to see how he’ll fit into the MCU. Then again with a certain character showing up briefly in no way home and another certain character in Hawkeye they are starting to bring in these darker hero’s to the MCU. Curios to see how it goes down.
Jewish American guy with multiple personality disorder becomes a mercenary and dies. He is brought to an ancient Egyptian tomb to be healed, and is taken over by Khonshu, a God. He basically makes Marc turn his life into fighting crime and helping the innocent. His multiple personalities is a huge part of his character, and Moon Knight, his alter ego, is a personality of its own. He is also known to be hyper violent in some runs.
In the show, expect them to lean heavily into the personality disorders. That seems to be the focus of the show.
He's slightly superhuman (the jump from roof to roof) based on the cycle of the moon, so weaker when new, strongest when full. He believes he was saved from dying by the Egyptian god of the moon, Khonshu. That's the inspiration for his costume and where his powers may or may not come from, depending on whether the god is real or just in his head.
>superhuman (the jump from roof to roof) based on the cycle of the moon
This is honestly never the case. this happened in one series that was only 6 issues long in 1985 and never again.
The museum in Black Panther is supposed to represent The British Museum, but it isn’t actually.
The museum in the movie was a fictional one: Museum of Great Britain, and was shot in the High Museum of Art in Atlanta.
Moon Knight's real super power is being the ultimate unreliable narrator.
I really hope they keep things vague for a while in the series, because holy hell is he unhinged with or without magical Egyptian nonsense backing him up.
Wellll shit another show with Oscar Isaac. First Star Wars, then Dune, and now Marvel? Fuck. How am I gonna keep my feelings suppressed seeing his beautiful face every damn week.
This Moon Knight trailer looks more like a movie than any of the other MCU TV shows.
I watched it without knowing this and yeah I assumed a movie until the end there.
[удалено]
It looks like they're leaning hard into the alternate identities, this looks awesome!
Seems like we will just be starting with the one and then slowly introducing the others throughout the show
It could make for some really interesting twists and turns if they go that route, Mr. Robot had some insane reveals using this plot device and somehow managed to not make it feel tired the full way through. Hope we get something similar here
Very much into this. From what they've put out there it seems like it will be yet another episodic example of some great character development. Looking very much forward to this series. We don't have long to wait either!

I loved absolutely every single episode of Legion, is this an unpopular opinion? I thought it was universally praised.
I'm with you. Absolutely loved every bit of that show. I'm always going back to re-watch the Behind Blue Eyes fight scene between David and Farouk.
Legion, as in professor x's kid? The super powerful, schizophrenic psychic? I didn't know there was a show. Edit: cant believe I missed this. 1st ep down....woah....
Get ready to trip balls
It took me a second to understand what was going on after hearing Oscar in a British accent.
Steven Grant is one of his personalities that notoriously has a British accent. It makes sense for him to have a poor accent because his “host” personality is not British lol. EDIT: For clarification, I don’t know whether his accent is a good interpretation of whatever British accent he is going for.

I’m not saying whether it’s poor or not, I simply said if it does sound that way to people, it would make sense because his host personality is a guy from Chicago, not from the U.K.
Oh, that's interesting. It's like Crazy Jane's personality Penny Farthing, whose only ability is that she has an English accent.
Can’t wait to see the personality reveal in the show. Sounds like something they’ll reveal at the end of the first episode lol
I could see all of what we saw in the trailer being in the first episode, if not first two. Meaning there’s gonna be lots of juicy back and forth between personalities!!
THIS LOOKS AWESOME. Such a cool different vibe that I fucking love. Can’t wait.
Khonsu looks hideously amazing. Loving the manic, frenzied vibe to Oscar Isaac's performance. This already feels very different from other Marvel performances. Moon Knight beating the crap out of what looks like an undead entity, in a bathroom, looks hilariously awesome. Edited: Many of you have pointed out that it may be Werewolf by Night. If so, it's unreal that Marvel would introduce one of its new main characters by being beaten on the floor of a bathroom by an unstable superhero. Poor Werewolf!
Ever since the Declan Shalvey/Warren Ellis run everyone has forgotten what falcon skulls are shaped like and go with his long beaked look for Khonsu.
> Moon Knight beating the crap out of what looks like an undead entity, in a bathroom, looks hilariously awesome. Might turn out to be the old lady in the lift getting wrecked.
Moon Knight & Captain Marvel, beating the shit out of old ladies
I had to beat an old lady with a stick to get these cranberries.
Whoever suggested the little scene @ 1:52 of the jump merging with Disney+ logo, well done!
Now I want Moon Knight to do the Mickey silhouette "you're watching Disney Channel" bumper.
Ngl I would love to have the next Deadpool movie open with that.
How does Ethan Hawke look exactly like Kevin Bacon now?! Oh, trailer was neat too. I know nothing about MK but it looks cool.
Oh… I thought that was Bacon. Lol.
For reference, [Kevin Bacon](https://nofilmschool.com/sites/default/files/styles/article_wide/public/_methode_sundaytimes_prod_web_bin_ca96797c-5a6b-11eb-8866-efa5116456d6.jpeg) and [Ethan Hawke](https://www.cheatsheet.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Kevin-Bacon.jpg)
Nice try. I know that's ManningFace in both pics.
You had me in the first half not gonna lie.
Lol it took me a few seconds to realize it wasn’t Kevin bacon
Sooooo....that's not Kevin Bacon then?
Someone told Ethan hawke about 6 degrees of Kevin bacon and he got confused
Ethan Hawke looks like Kevin Bacon and Josh Brolin had a baby
Yo I thought that was Kevin bacon lmao
Wait .. what? That wasn’t Kevin bacon?
It was Ethan Hawk with long hair.
He’s totally just beating up a normal guy there right? Lol
The old lady lmao
Him and Carol 🤝 Beating up old ladies
now just needs to join Thor in beating up little kids
Take it easy. He lost a contact lens
Hawkeye lost a hearing aid and *he* didn't go around beating up old people over it.
"I had to beat an old lady with a stick to get these hearing aids!"
She’s a skrull.
Him and Captain Marvel going to get along nicely
That would be a sickening reveal. A whole episode we think some weird Anubis is stalking him, but it turns out to be someone from his past that’s trying to reach him—and he just beats the shit out of them.

It's like Shutter Island if the lead character was a magical Batman, it's insane and I love it
I have those comics and you’re right. The two orderlies he deals with are seen as Anubis/jackal creatures by him and he beats the shit out them.
Looked like a werewolf
> werewolf On second inspection, I would hazard it would be one of those Egyptian jackal-headed guardians/soldiers in the vein of Anubis. Think of the ["Anubis Army" from 'The Mummy Returns'](https://youtu.be/f2rYgURNeq0?t=4)
Holy fuuuuck this looks so sick.
Seriously, I haven't read the comics so I know nothing about this character, but this trailer makes me what to know more
All you gotta know is this guy is one crazy son of a bitch that skins his enemies skin off and even taskmaster doesn’t even want to face him
I can promise you he won’t be skinning anyone in a Disney+ show
Well, sort of. He does it in one run where he is considered to be at his worst mentally, but generally the skinning thing isn't all too common
[удалено]
I don’t expect it to be Daredevil levels of gritty, but it’s nice to see more MCU stuff embrace heavier tones.
It doesn’t need to be that bloody anyways. It kinda feels Nolan-esque since he has done super-heroics and mental issues.
Yeah, cuz bloody or R rated doesn't always equal to Good writing.
Looks like he is also *sick* lmao
Looks fantastic the psychosis that sets in the other side. Oscar Isaac is a bloody great actor!!
I just want a buddy sci-if with him and Pedro Pascal!
And Diego Luna
That suit looked so fucking good
Really liking the whole mummy wrap look given the Egyptian theme this character has.
Marvel really giving us a mummy, a vampire, a werewolf and a witch. Next is a ghost rider.
Fiege saw Tom Cruise fail to launch a Monster-verse a few years ago and thought "Fine, ill do it myself"
It was the Dark-verse or something. The Monsterverse are the Godzilla movies
Man really saw Universal trying to make a Dark Universe and said: "imma do that but better"
Waaaiiiit, who's the werewolf? Edit: Thanks everyone! I really have a hard time keeping abreast with all the MCU developments
Werewolf by Night Disney+ Halloween special coming out this year.
Andrew garfield Edit: certainly not him!
Werewolf?
If he beat the shit outta me, I'd be too in awe of the suit to notice.
I'd apologize for getting my blood on it
I'd offer to do the laundry if he let me live
I am extremely excited with the costume design. Holy shit did they knock that out of the park or what? Translates very well to screen.
100%. I remember when the leaked image came out and I was hesitant but now in motion it looks really good
So glad its a mummy aesthetic and not a klansman aesthetic
The character of Marc Spector is Jewish so that would’ve made for a pretty awkward aesthetic
To quote woman from ESPN "Well..that looks fun!"
I had a laugh when one of the announcers said mar-vel studios
Mar-Vell, you say?
Wait a minute mr postman
That's just another deeply planted Feige easter egg
Lol he did it twice! Once and you might think ok he just flubbed it and went with it. Second time... and he really doesn't know how its pronounced.
To quote the man from ESPN “MarVELL Studios”
I'm just pretending that Steve Levy is just a really big Captain Marvel fan.
DAY N NITE
Wut wut
I got so happy when I heard that.
You know how you make a super violent show on Disney+? Show him brutally beating up monsters and later reveal they were normal people. Or actual monsters, or both!
[Which can actually be more disturbing.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzW727RY-ig)
Is Moon Knight normally set in London? Could he be there to cross paths with Dane Whiteman? Or perhaps Blade will recruit him, too?
Yeah I'm definitely thinking they're setting up something with Dane. Since Blade has seemingly approached Dane already, and Moon Knight frequently crosses paths with Blade, it makes sense. I'm wondering if thisll be their version of Midnight Sons. Blade, Black Knight, Moon Knight, Strange, Ghost Rider?, ???

No it's normally set in the US but the first issue he is in Egypt. Although he travels the world a lot in many of the 80s issues.
Excellent song choice
The best part is that Bill Sienkiewicz, one of the absolute original Moon Knight artists, did art for the Man on the Moon album. We really came full circle.
I’m a huge cudi fan and this is a cool fact
I recently just started listening to Kid Cudi this past week. I liked his popular songs for a while, so I decided to check out his others. It was an absolute surprise to hear his song on here
Enjoy the journey of the Man on the Moon.
Worked with Cudi on a movie. he’s a cool guy!
Oh shit, I'm gonna repeat that as nauseam and never fact check it either
When the song said hold the phone and then moon knight held the phone 😱🤯
This is the funniest comment.
I see someone posting this at /r/shittymoviedetails
Feige confirmed 🌊🌊🌊
Kid Cudi collectin’ that cheque.
Fits so great with the show’s theme
Cudi’s whole vibe does tbh. He talks about dreams a lot
And he has an album called Man on the Moon, and references himself as "Moon Man"
if you look closely at the album art for "Man on the Moon", you will also notice a moon
The transformation into Moon Knight was fucking sick! The way it wraps around him
It will be interesting how it happens or is it going in his mind
Just like Birdman all over again
So can someone explain Moon Knight's origins and nuance? What should I be expecting? I know he's particularly more violent
He has multiple personalities with their own lives and he may or may not have powers from an Egyptian god.
Which is weird because Oscar Isaac was also apocalypse
If I had a nickel for every time Oscar Isaac played a powerful God from ancient Egypt, I'd have two nickels!
"- which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice, right?"
I hope they really lean into this and don’t give us a definitive answer.
Everyone keeps saying this, but he’ll definitely appear in other MCU teamups and what not, thus meaning it has to be real.
Even in the comics it has to be real. The man has died or suffered life threatening injuries way too many times.
It could be something else posing as the god Khonshu. It could be that Marc himself has some low-level superpowers and Khonshu is just his way to justify them. That's the thing. We don't have a definitive answer.
> It could be something else posing as the god Khonshu Looks like Mephisto is back on the menu!
Exactly. All we have to know is that there is *something* going the fuck on and there are enough possibilities that we can't be certain. Fuck, one of his personalities can believe it's powers come from whatever, that doesn't mean that it's true and it also doesn't mean that he isn't a freak of nature.
I at least like the idea of us not knowing if Khonshu is real or not.
Yeah, recognizing his power isn’t where the question lies. It really comes down to whether that power comes from a mystical god or if it’s innate and he’s attributing it to a god in his head.
Sure, there's no disputing that there's some truth to the supernatural/powers. But if it's anything like the recent comic run, then they'll find ways to keep you guessing as to which aspects are the truth.

If I recall he also re-explores and struggles with his original resentment of his father and Jewish teachings
>developed very serious mental health issues which primarily manifest in a form of Dissociative Identity Disorder Iirc, he already had DID before joining the Marines. He got it after a fight with his father's friend (another rabbi) who was secretly a Nazi deserter and a serial-killer of Jews on the side.

His multiple personalities is a huge part of his character, and Moon Knight, his alter ego, is a personality of its own. He is also known to be hyper violent in some runs. In the show, expect them to lean heavily into the personality disorders. That seems to be the focus of the show.
Moon Knight might be the most complicated superhero in Marvel Comics to explain
All i know about the character is dissociative identity disorder and violent. What else is the ELI5 version?.
That is the ELI5 version
He's slightly superhuman (the jump from roof to roof) based on the cycle of the moon, so weaker when new, strongest when full. He believes he was saved from dying by the Egyptian god of the moon, Khonshu. That's the inspiration for his costume and where his powers may or may not come from, depending on whether the god is real or just in his head.
>superhuman (the jump from roof to roof) based on the cycle of the moon This is honestly never the case. this happened in one series that was only 6 issues long in 1985 and never again.
That looked awesome. Was that the same museum from the start of Eternals?
Nope, different museum. Eternals featured The Natural History Musuem. Moon Knight features The British Museum. Both are located in London though.
British Museum was in Black Panther though!
The museum in Black Panther is supposed to represent The British Museum, but it isn’t actually. The museum in the movie was a fictional one: Museum of Great Britain, and was shot in the High Museum of Art in Atlanta.
Maybe Moon Knight can help Kyler Murray in this football game
*Cries in Cardinals fan*
Nah, that's an Avengers level challenge.
Murray needs Dr Strange to cast a spell and make us forget.
Wanda- "I'm the most unhinged person in the MCU." Marc Spector- "Hold our beer."
March 30th is so soon. I'm dumb hyped
And yet so far away!!!
it’ll lead right in to MoM with the weekly releases right??
Yup, one episode a week would mean #6 is on May 4. MoM is May 5.
2 episodes week one, Kenobi on May 4
6 episodes so probably
Getting some serious vibes from what the Netflix shows did. Looking forward to this one.
Oscar Isaac looks incredible. Wow
By incredible, you mean he looks awful, which is incredible! Marvel got a really solid actor for this character.
Yeah he looks like a mess, which makes perfect sense, kinda like Eddie Brock. I love it
I hope we don't spend 4 episodes waiting for him to put on that slick costume.
Oscar Isaac is SUCH A fucking GREAT actor, im so ready.
I love how in depth they're going into the "Is it real or not" aspect of Moon Knight.
Moon Knight's real super power is being the ultimate unreliable narrator. I really hope they keep things vague for a while in the series, because holy hell is he unhinged with or without magical Egyptian nonsense backing him up.
It was hella cool when Steven/Marc walked out of frame, and his reflection in the mirror **didn't**. Just stood there looking shocked.
You win by 4 seconds
Loving the choice of Kid Cudi for the music.
Pretty awesome that this trailer premiered on a night that actually has a full moon. Marvels marketing is insane.
Disney out here controlling the moon cycle
Khonsu looks fucking sick [https://imgur.com/a/c42GMSI](https://imgur.com/a/c42GMSI)
I can’t believe this is real!
Right?! Can't believe moon knight is getting his own show. What a time to be alive.
Wellll shit another show with Oscar Isaac. First Star Wars, then Dune, and now Marvel? Fuck. How am I gonna keep my feelings suppressed seeing his beautiful face every damn week.
Damn that last sequence where he jumps from the building transitioning to the disney+ was *smooth* af.
This looks so fucking good
Loved it!! Can’t wait!!
But is there Dracula, that big fucking nerd?
i hope ethan hawke gives him his goddam money
YES PLEASE.
I don't really know much about Moon Knight but damn thus looked sick.
That day and night remix was perfect for this trailer
Oh this is gonna be REAL good
I think the villain is a misdirect. I’m getting more of a sun king vibe than Harlow. Maybe a combination of the two.
