Moon Knight has arrived on Disney+ and with it, a whole new corner of the Marvel Cinematic Universe to explore. The series focuses on Steven Grant (Oscar Isaac), a humble museum gift shop clerk who discovers he has multiple identities, including a mercenary named Marc Spector and a superhero named Moon Knight, a mystical warrior imbued with powers and a special costume from the Egyptian god Khonshu.
Over the years, Moon Knight has had a lot of subtle variations in Marvel Comics. Sometimes he’s invented alternate identities as disguises to aid in his superheroic activities; other times he suffers from dissociative identity disorder and these alternate identites are something he cannot control. In our latest Moon Knight video, we explore exactly which versions of the comics this new TV series comes from. We also look at the Egyptian myths that serve as the basis for Khonshu and the rest of the gods on this show, and we give even more background about Steven Grant, Marc Spector, and Moon Knight. Watch all the Easter eggs below:
