Moon Knight takes flight in the Disney Plus series’ Super Bowl trailer
One of Marvel's weirdest heroes suits up in this latest trailer
TV News Moon Knight
Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness doesn’t get to have all of the Marvel fun on this Super Bowl Sunday. While he’s off meeting different versions of himself in different realities, Oscar Isaac’s Steven Grant is meeting different versions of himself inside himself in this Super Bowl trailer for the upcoming Moon Knight series on Disney+.
See, mild-mannered Steven Grant is also ruthless mercenary Marc Spector… among other things. But that may be a spoiler, we don’t know. Either way, someone is putting on a cloak and brutally attacks criminals with his crescent boomerangs and other moon-themed vigilante gear. Sometimes he even puts on a different mask and fights crime as a different vigilante character, but we’re already not sure what is or is not a spoiler. Also, an ancient bird god may or may not have a say in things, we don’t know.
We’ve seen some more of this in the first Moon Knight teaser, but one thing that remains interesting about this is that it’s unclear what sort of connection it will have to the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe. In the comics, Moon Knight has interacted with the Avengers on plenty of occasions, but lately he’s has a lot of run-ins with day-walking vampire hunter Blade.
Is it time for Mahershala Ali to show up in a Marvel thing in the flesh after his weird voiceover cameo in Eternals? Or maybe Marvel will acknowledge that the Moon Knight in the comics sometimes thinks he’s Wolverine and Hugh Jackman will strap on the claws one more time. That would be truly bizarre, but Moon Knight is the MCU’s best opportunity since WandaVision to get really freakin’ weird.
Moon Knight is coming to Disney+ on March 30. In addition to Oscar Isaac, it stars Ethan Hawke and May Calamawy.

An article describing a movie trailer. How wonderful. – null, January 20018
ive always hated ethan hawke. So pissed they put him in this. Without him the trailer is pretty good.
Any particular reason you hate Hawke?
I dont know, i just always have. I dont like him, i dont like the movies he’s in, he just looks like he needs a slap.
Is half of his face a butt in jeans?
Can’t unsee.
Well, you gotta have faith . . . .
I’d prefer it if Spector occasionally thought he was Hugh Jackman in ‘The Boy from Oz’.
The signature shot of MK jumping across the street – and subsequently turning into the D+ logo is cheeseball. In the main clip, the physics seem off and he looks like a wee elf hopping from rooftop to rooftop. He’s cute. He’s a scamp, this Moon Knight. Plus, it looks like this 3 second shot was solely created to morph into the D+ logo. Cheesey McCheeseballz is what it is! The rest looks fine.
yeah it’s a very weightless jump.
well 145 comments on dr strange 2 trailer, 6 on the moon knight trailer. not that av club is any metric but i expected them to even out a little more.
I don’t live in a large city, but I assume if I do there are plenty of stores that would help me put together my super hero outfit keeping the theme consistent? It would be terrible to call yourself “Moon Knight” and then be stuck with only rainbow themed weapons and cape.
