Moon Knight:

Moon Knight is coming to Disney Plus on March 30th. It is a new Marvel show with six episodes releasing weekly. It introduces the character, Moon Knight, who is a known partner of Spider-Man and Deadpool. He also is part of the Midnight Sons, consisting of The Punisher, Doctor Strange, Ghost Rider, Blade, Iron Fist, and Morbius, who is also getting a movie this week. The Midnight Sons are the protectors of New York and rumored to appear in future Marvel projects with John Bernthal playing The Punisher. Moon Knight is played by Oscar Isaac, who is also known for playing Poe Dameron in Star Wars and Duke Leto Atreides in Dune. Marc Spector is a former U.S. Marine struggling with dissociative identity disorder, and now works in a gift shop. Marc lives a normal life until one night, the Egyptian moon god Khonshu, grants him powers that wane and wax depending on the lunar cycle. His powers are strongest during a full moon, and weakest during a new moon. He meets multiple characters, including Arthur Harrow, played by Ethan Hawke, who is an agent for O.M.N.I.U.M., an organization obsessed with the Egyptian gods, but more specifically, Khonshu. This eventually makes Marc and Arthur cross paths. Moon Knight is an exciting show, debuting as a big character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the MCU will only get bigger from here. Moon Knight will premiere on March 30th exclusively on Disney+.
