<em>Marvel Explained is our ongoing series where we delve into the latest Marvel shows, movies, trailers, and news stories to divine the franchise’s future. This entry cuts into the first Moon Knight trailer and discusses some noteworthy aspects.</em>
We haven’t quite reached the bottom of the barrel yet, but after more than a decade, Marvel Studios is happily adapting comic book characters who’ve never maintained a monthly series for more than a few years. Moon Knight is not a top-tier superhero, but he’s developed a small but passionate fanbase since his first appearance in the deliciously bizarre Werewolf by Night #32. 2022 is the year for those fans to gloat.
Moon Knight is ushering in Marvel’s second year on Disney+, and they’re not playing it safe by the looks of things. What we see in the below trailer is an unhinged character. As portrayed by Oscar Isaac, Steven Grant is teetering on oblivion’s precipice. He’s struggling with dissociate identity disorder, with one personality galivanting about as the mercenary Marc Spector and another wrapping himself in bandages and pummeling creatures in bathrooms.
The Umbrella Academy‘s Jeremy Slater serves as creator and head writer on Moon Knight, with Mohamed Diab (Clash) and the team of Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead (Spring, The Endless) directing. They’ve cobbled together a challenging series with a troubling, unreliable protagonist. There’s a scary, dangerous edge to Moon Knight, and it’s hard to imagine this costumed vigilante fighting alongside The Avengers. That’s pretty gosh darn exciting.
The trailer leaves its viewers uneasy with a lot of questions. Let’s see if we can sort some of it out together by picking at six critical details. We’ve got a weird one here, friends.
