Well, Moon Knight clearly isn't going to be much more violent than the previous Disney+ Marvel shows.

During a recent interview, Kevin Feige teased Oscar Isaac's "brutal" title character, and indicated that the upcoming miniseries would be quite a bit darker than the content we're used to seeing from Marvel Studios by stating that the show will mark a big "tonal shift" for the MCU. This led to speculation that Moon Knight might end up with a more adult-oriented TV-MA rating, but it doesn't look like that's going to be the case.

According to an official Disney+ listing, Moon Knight has received the same TV-14 rating as The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, WandaVision, Loki and Hawkeye. Now, this doesn't necessarily mean that the series won't take things up a notch, and one could argue that those previous shows (a few scenes in TFATWS aside) never really made full use of the rating, which can extend to "intensely suggestive dialogue, strong coarse language, intense sexual situations or intense violence."

Maybe Marc Spector won't be eviscerating his enemies in particularly gruesome fashion, but Moon Knight is certainly shaping up to be a uniquely intense, horror-tinged experience.

The show has Cairo 678 director Mohamed Diab behind the camera, and we found out last year 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."
