A new teaser trailer for the upcoming Moon Knight series has given fans their first look at Oscar Isaac as the titular character. Along with Isaac’s Moon Knight, the teaser also offers a first look at Ethan Hawke’s villain. The new footage was tweeted out by Hulu in preparation for a full trailer, which is releasing on Monday.Early Saturday morning Hulu, tweeted out the short 15-second teaser for Moon Knight. It gives us a look at the hero's Egyptian origins, as well as Isaac kicking some butt in costume. We also catch a glimpse of Hawke’s yet-to-be-revealed villain. While it is not known which iconic comic bad guy Hawke will be playing, he seems to be up to no good in his brief cameo.Along with the teaser, Hulu shared the news that the world trailer premiere for the Disney+ series would take place on Monday during the NFL Super Wild Card matchup.While a premiere date for the show itself is not yet known, the trailer comes amid rumors that it will be sooner rather than later. There is a ton of speculation that Moon Knight will arrive sometime in March, and that timeline makes sense with the trailer dropping on Monday. It is more than likely that this full trailer will finally reveal the show's release date.
The series, based on the Marvel character created by Doug Moench and Don Perlin, will follow Marc Spector (Isaac), a former marine who suffers from Dissociative Identity Disorder. Spector, and the identities that live inside him, are soon thrust into a deadly war of the gods as the Egyptian moon god, Khnoshu, chooses him as a conduit. Under the moniker Moon Knight, Spector will fight crime and root out the evil that plagues the world.
Since Moon Knight has no supernatural powers like other heroes in the MCU, he relies on his combat skills, wealth, and access to advanced technologies to take on evildoers. In fact, he is often compared to DC’s Batman for the way he fights crime using a mix of money and skill.
The Disney+ series will consist of six episodes from showrunner Jeremy Slater. Mohamed Diab, Justin Benson, and Aaron Moorhead will share directorial duties for the show that will be set amongst the backdrop of modern and Ancient Egypt. Moon Knight will join the MCU’s already-in-progress Phase Four, and each episode will have a runtime of an hour.
