Moon Knight Trailer: Oscar Isaac Leads Next Marvel Disney+ Show
Fans will be able to take in a number of
great Marvel Cinematic Universe shows in 2022, and it looks like Oscar Isaac’s
Moon Knight will officially be kicking things off.
Though there were things that were known,
many had been eager for more details on the mysterious show. Up until now, the
studio had only shared a few brief clips (with the latest showing off the
character’s costume).
The long-awaited first official trailer for
Marvel Studios' Moon Knight series has finally dropped, and it looks darker and
weirder than any live-action Marvel show that Disney Plus has put out to date,
such as WandaVision, Loki and Hawkeye.
Oscar Isaac (Star Wars: The Force Awakens)
plays the titular Moon Knight, a vigilante with supernatural powers whose
unpredictable nature makes him a force to be reckoned with.
Before we go too far into spoiler
territory, you should check out Moon Knight's brilliant first trailer below,
which sets up the show's supernatural tone and globe-trotting story.
At the beginning of the trailer, Isaac's
character Steven describes himself as having a "sleeping disorder",
stating that he "can't tell the difference between his waking life and
dreams."
However, that isn't the full story. By the
end of the trailer, it's revealed that he suffers from Dissociative Identity
Disorder, meaning he has multiple personalities that occasionally wrestle
control of his body and mind.
Of course, avid comic readers will know
that his original identity is Marc Spector, a former CIA operative turned
mercenary who has inherited mystical powers from a statue of the Egyptian deity
Khonshu. These powers manifest themselves as Mr Knight, a hooded vigilante with
incredible reflexes, agility and strength.
It's unclear where the series will go from there, but the trailer does finally reveal who Ethan Hawke (Before Sunrise) will play in this series. As confirmed by the trailer's closed captions, Hawke is playing Dr Arthur Harrow, one of Moon Knight's antagonists who works for the mysterious organization known as O.M.N.I.U.M.
Based on the trailer above, it looks like
Moon Knight is going to take viewers on a wild ride, in which Isaac continually
finds himself in the middle of crazy situations without knowing how he got
there.
It's also cool to see Moon Knight hand out
a fairly brutal Daredevil-style beatdown to an unknown creature towards the end
of the trailer.
As leaked ahead of the trailer, Moon Knight
will arrive on Disney Plus on March 30. Not yet a Disney Plus subscriber? You
