“There’s chaos in you…”
Moon Knight is a new mystery-action series inspired by the Marvel character. The series premiered on March 30th 2022 on Disney+ with the first episode available to stream now. There will be six episodes in total that will air weekly. Moon Knight stars Oscar Isaac, Ethan Hawke, May Calamawy, Loic Mabanza and Gaspard Ulliel. Each episode runs for approximately 45-49 minutes.
Gift-shop employee, Steven Grant begins blacking out and learns that he is sharing bodies with a mercenary named Marc Spector, as they begin to investigate the mysteries behind the Egyptian gods.
Here is the trailer:
Moon Knight is completely crazy, but it works somehow, leaving the audience wanting more as we follow along on this new adventure. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…
The Pros:
Oscar Isaac is a lot of fun to watch!
I already liked him as an actor but I think he is adapting seamlessly into this new role and there was even a lot of quirky humor that I appreciated. It’s important to like the unlikely hero of the story and so far I think we have a winner here.
Super interesting premise.
I don’t know about you, but I have always been fascinated by the stories of the Egyptian gods and this particular Marvel character is allowing us a chance to explore some of these mysteries even more. The opening of the first episode gave me some National Treasure and Night at the Museum vibes, which is a good thing. I think as long as it balances out the historical angle with some action, we should have a lot of entertaining content to enjoy. Fingers crossed!
The Cons:
Not revealing too much…
I understand that maybe that’s the point, but with only six episodes, I wanted to know a lot more from the opening episode and we didn’t get too many answers. I’m willing to stick around to find out more, but I hope the series starts to reveal things soon.
So am I in or out?
I’m in!
I may not really know what’s going on yet, but so far I am having a lot of fun watching this series and I can’t wait to find out more. I think we have lots of potential here!

I’m so in too and was really excited to see this particular character come to life on the small screen (would also watch a movie version too) — I’m looking forward to seeing how this show progresses and develops!
It’s connected to the MCU, so I’m automatically in. And in this case, I find it kind of refreshing to have a series that is connected but doesn’t have any strong connections to anything that’s already been established in movies or previous series. At least, not yet. It’s like exploring a new corner of the MCU that we’ve never had a chance to see before. I’d love to see more shows that are based in the MCU but aren’t necessarily the kind of thing that require their audience to have seen 82 movies and TV shows to understand what’s happening. Maybe an anthology series about the normal people of the MCU whose lives are somehow affected by the heroes and villains of their world, for better or worse. I should call Kevin Feige and pitch that…
Valid points! Go for the pitch!
