Marvel has dropped an action-packed Super Bowl spot for Oscar Isaac’s Moon Knight.
This year’s Super Bowl is the gift that keeps on giving as Marvel has officially released a new television spot for its upcoming Disney Plus series Moon Knight. The spot made its debut during tonight’s showdown between the Los Angeles Rams and Cincinnati Bengals and offers fans a fresh look at Oscar Isaac in action as Moon Knight.
In the comics, Marc Spector was a CIA agent-turned-mercenary making millions. During his last mercenary job in Cairo, Spector was left for dead by a former colleague. He dragged himself through the sands of the desert to the tomb of Konshu, the Egyptian moon god. There he was pronounced dead but resurrected at the hands of Konshu. The resurrection took a toll, however, as he developed multiple personality disorder. When he returned to New York, Spector created two new personalities — Steven Grant and Jake Lockley. Grant was the millionaire womanizer while Lockley was a cab driver.
It was after developing his other personalities that Marc Spector took on the mantle of Moon Knight. Konshu granted Spector with increased physical capabilities and periodic prophetic visions at night, yet even Spector himself was unsure whether Konshu was yet another personality of his own creation. Even still, Moon Knight operates with an arsenal of technology, vehicles and costumes to suit his needs.
Here is the official synopsis for Marvel’s Moon Knight series:
The series follows Steven Grant, a mild-mannered gift-shop employee, who becomes plagued with blackouts and memories of another life. Steven discovers he has dissociative identity disorder and shares a body with mercenary Marc Spector. As Steven/Marc’s enemies converge upon them, they must navigate their complex identities while thrust into a deadly mystery among the powerful gods of Egypt.
Starring Oscar Isaac, Ethan Hawke, Gaspard Ulliel and May Calamawy, Moon Knight is set to make its Disney Plus debut on March 30th. Stay tuned for the latest news regarding the upcoming Disney Plus series and make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel for more content!
