We got a look at some new footage from Marvel's Moon Knight earlier today, and Disney+ has now shared three new character posters for the upcoming limited series. The thing is, they all spotlight the same person... more or less!
As we know, Marc Spector (Oscar Isaac) suffers from dissociative identity disorder, and is expected to manifest multiple personas over the course of the show. Some are being kept under wraps, but these banners feature the identities that have been confirmed so far: British museum shop employee Steven Grant, the vigilante known as Moon Knight, along with the dapper - and arguably even more intimidating - Mr. Knight.
We assume posters for some of the other supporting characters will follow shortly.
In addition to Cairo 678 director Mohamed Diab behind the camera, 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.
Specific 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."
The six-part limited series begins streaming on March 30.
