Last year, God of War art director Raf Grassetti shared some awesome designs for characters from the classic Batman: The Animated Series to his Instagram page, and he followed those up with his interpretations of some of the most popular mutant heroes from Marvel Comics' X-Men.
Now, Grassetti has brought us his take on Marvel's Moon Knight.
The Fist of Knonshu will make his live-action debut in the upcoming Disney+ series, with Oscar Isaac taking on the lead role of troubled former marine, Marc Spector. It'll probably be a while before we get to see the Star Wars actor suited-up as the titular vigilante, but Marvel would be smart to look to Grassetti's design for inspiration.
Marvel's Moon Knight has Cairo 678 director Mohamed Diab on board, and we recently found out that the Disney+ series has also enlisted Justin Benson & Aaron Moorhead (The Endless, Synchronic) to helm additional episodes. Jeremy Slater (The Umbrella Academy; The Exorcist) will serve as showrunner, and is leading the show's writing team.
Plot details are still under wraps, but the small-screen adaptation is expected to stick pretty close to the basic premise of the comic, with Marc Spector, a highly skilled mercenary who has numerous alter-egos, channelling the power of the Egyptian moon god Khonshu to fight crime in LA.
A recent synopsis stated that "the action-adventure features a complex vigilante who suffers from dissociative identity disorder. The multiple identities who live inside him are distinct characters who appear against a backdrop of Egyptian iconography."
Moon Knight is expected to begin shooting in Budapest this March.
