The MCU’s latest superhero has an identity so secret, even he doesn’t know who it is.

Moon Knight is the latest Marvel show to debut on Disney+, and the first one of 2022. The show focuses on Marc Spector (Oscar Isaac), a former U.S. Marine suffering from dissociative identity disorder. While one of his identities attempts to lead a normal life, another lives as a vigilante who has been granted powers from the Egyptian God of the Moon, Khonshu (F. Murray Abraham), which complicates his life in a number of ways. 

The first episode focuses primarily on the personality known as Steven Grant, a normal guy living in London who works selling items at a museum gift shop. He is hounded by his strict boss Donna (Lucy Thackeray), who won’t listen to him about any of his suggestions on how to improve the accuracy of the Egyptian exhibit experience. In his home life, he believes he suffers from a combination of insomnia and sleep-walking, the latter of which is so bad, he shackles his ankle to a support beam as he sleeps. 

Steven, after a hard day at work, wakes up in a field with no memory of how he got there, quite far from London as well. The first people he meets attack him, much to Steven’s surprise as he runs into a nearby town. In this town he finds a strange group of people surrounding a man called Arthur Harrow (Ethan Hawke), leader of a cult that worships the goddess Ammit, who judges people’s worth to enter the underworld. Arthur’s abilities embody this by allowing him to take the life of anyone deemed unworthy. 

During this time, Steven begins to hear voices in his head, requesting to take over his body. Steven tries to deny them, but he blacks out periodically when threatened by Arthur’s men, Steven wakes up to piles of defeated enemies. After eventually escaping and returning to London, Arthur follows him to the museum in order to retrieve something Steven doesn’t remember stealing. When he is cornered and out of options, Steven’s other personality Marc asks him to willingly let him take over in order to become Moon Knight to save them both. 

Steven suffers greatly throughout due to his gaps in memory, missing time and he even discovers traces of his other personality’s life. Though there wasn’t much (on-screen) action in the first episode, it was a great start to the series, and with more surprises sure to come, it will leave you wanting more. Moon Knight will have six episodes, with a new one dropping each Wednesday.
