Dune star Oscar Isaac becomes Moon Knight in the new teaser for the upcoming MCU/Disney+ series of the same name that features Ethan Hawke as the lead villain.
Mohamed Diab (Clash) is both directing along with Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead (Resolution, Spring, V/H/S: Viral, The Endless), as well as serving as showrunner.
The Moon Knight character was created by Doug Moench and Don Perlin and was introduced in the comic Werewolf by Night #32 in August of 1975, before getting his own comic in the early 80s. In the comics, Marc Spector is an ex-mercenary and boxer turned superhero, Moon Knight, after dying and being brought back to life by the ancient Egyptian god Khonshu. To hide his identity he creates the alter ego of high-roller and playboy Steven Grant. He also uses the identity of taxi driver Jake Lockley to obtain information from lower-level contacts. Moon Knight frequently goes head to head with the evil syndicate known as “The Committee” in the comics. Disney+’s new series will be introducing the character to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
We’ll keep you posted. In the meantime, check out the new teaser and the previously released teaser trailer.
