Oscar Isaac will star as the mysterious Moon Knight.
The MCU is set to premier soon the latest addition to its roster of superheroes with Moon Knight.
“Star Wars” and “X-Men: Apocalypse” actor Oscar Isaac will play Stephen Grant, “a museum gift shop employee who suffers disassociative identity disorder” who inevitably turns into the Moon Knight.
The new Marvel series (who recently finished the excellent “Hawkeye”) will air on Disney + starting March 30.
“Moon Knight” will “send viewers on an action-packed caper involving a dark mystery between Egyptian gods.”
The original “Moon Knight” comic first appeared on Marvel Comics in the mid-70's. Created by Doug Moench and illustrator Don Perlin, Moon Knight first made its debut in the comic “Werewolf By Night” in August of 1975. The original comic character’s alter ego is Marc Spector, a former Marine and CIA operative who is killed and was saved by the Egyption moon god Khonshu.
The “Moon Knight” series in Disney + also stars Ethan Hawke and May Calamawy. Jeremy Slater (“The Umbrella Academy” and “The Exorcist”) is head writer while Mohamed Diab, Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead directs.
