Who is Moon Knight?
In the comics, Moon Knight is the vigilante and the man behind the mask is Marc Spector, a former mercenary, who was found dead in the desert and resurrected by the Moon deity Khonshu. To ensure the safety of people who walk at night, Moon Knight was appointed as Khonshu’s fist and high priest.
Moon Knight started his early vigilante days with the support of a network of informants, including his best friend “Frenchie” Duchamp, the homeless Bertrand Crawley, and diner owner Gena Landers.
The majority of Marc’s time has been spent working alone, but he has also been a member of a few superhero teams, notably the Avengers, both the Black Ops Unit and the West Coast branch, and the Heroes For Hire.
However Marc Spector, suffers from dissociative identity disorder, which has allowed him to adopt multiple guises, including millionaire Steven Grant and cab driver Jake Lockley which might be hinted on this teaser trailer:
Moon Knight Cast
These are the confirmed cast for the Moon Knight series based on the trailers and news:
- Oscar Isaac as Marc Spector / Moon Knight
- Gaspard Ulliel as Anton Mogart / Midnight Man
- Ethan Hawke (unknown character)
- Loic Mabanza (unknown character)
- May Calamawy (unknown character)
There’s already a high approval rating from fans who are anticipating this series as having Oscar Isaac to play the role for Moon Knight is promising and a great lead choice.
Although not guaranteed, people are looking forward to a more gory vibe just like Deadpool, and for Oscar Isaac to do justice in the role and really gets into character, where he might throw random BS phone calls to the Avengers or find and ask Dracula where his money is.
