Moon Knight is bringing some good old-fashioned scares to Disney+.
The Marvel Studios series will debut March 30, and a new dramatic video dropped this week that shows a frightening confrontation between Steven Grant and the Egyptian moon god Khonshu. Check out the chilling clip–courtesy of comicbookmovie.com–on this page.
The six-episode series–created and written by Jeremy Slater–stars Oscar Isaac as Marc Spector/Steven Grant/Moon Knight, Ethan Hawke as the villainous Arthur Harrow, May Calamawy as Layla and Gaspard Ulliel as Anton Mogart, aka Midnight Man.
The storyline deals with Steven Grant, a gift shop employee who is “plagued by blackouts and memories of another life.” Grant discovers he has dissociative identity disorder “and actually shares his body with mercenary Marc Spector.”
And now, he must “navigate his complex identities while he’s thrust into a deadly mystery among the powerful gods of Egypt.”
Mohamed Diab has directed four episodes of the show, with the team of Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead helming the remaining two.
The Marvel Comics Moon Knight character–created by writer Doug Moench and artist Don Perlin–debuted in Werewolf by Night No. 32 in 1975. The anti-hero returned in a new title last summer as a “renegade priest of Khonshu who observes his duty–protecting those who travel by night.”
