Marvel Studios has recently unveiled the first trailer for its Disney Plus series Moon Knight, officially launching the 2022 slate for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In Moon Knight, premiering on March 30, Oscar Isaac plays Marc Spector, an ex-soldier with a profound case of dissociative identity disorder that manifests as fully distinct individuals. He becomes the conduit for the Egyptian moon god Khonshu, which only further worsens Marc’s anxiety over his mental illness.
In the trailer, set to Kid Cudi’s ‘Day n Night,’ Marc can’t tell the difference between his normal life and his dreams. He plays with a Rubik’s cube, unable to fall asleep, only to jump out of bed in a panic with his foot chained to his bed though he seemingly forgets he was the one who restrained himself the night before.
However, after visiting a museum in ancient Egypt, he sees a vision of Khonshu and later meets Ethan Hawke’s villain, a cult leader who encourages Marc to embrace the darkness within himself. The trailer ends with Marc being enveloped by the Moon Knight costume and a shot of him brutally beating someone up on a bathroom floor.
Unlike all of Marvel Studios’ previous series for Disney Plus, which were based on existing characters from the company’s pre-2019 feature movies, Moon Knight creates a brand new path, with a totally new set of characters and a storyline that has no clear initial connection to the MCU. Moon Knight co-stars include Hawke and May Calamawy. The Umbrella Academy writer Jeremy Slater serves as creator and head writer, with Mohamed Diab and the team of Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead directing.
The show inaugurates Marvel Studios’ second year delivering TV series for Disney Plus alongside its feature films. Also expected in 2022 for the streamer, She-Hulk, a legal comedy starring Tatiana Maslany, Mark Ruffalo, Tim Roth, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Josh Segarra, and Jameela Jamil. Another Marvel series debuting on Disney Plus is Ms. Marvel, a coming-of-age dramedy starring newcomer Iman Vellani in the title role. And Season 2 of the animated series What If…?
