Moon Knight’s past and present collide! The past comes back to bedevil Moon Knight as he pursues his latest enemy, someone once familiar and new. Here’s how Marvel describes the two July-shipping issues: Moon Knight #25 main cover by Steve McNiven The publisher announced today that, along with an oversized 25th issue of the character’s ongoing series by writer Jed MacKay and artists Alessandro Cappuccio, Alessandro Vitti, and Partha Pratim, the first full month of summer will also see the launch of Moon Knight: City of the Dead, a five-issue miniseries by writer David Pepose and artist Marcelo Ferreira that spins out of the events of Moon Knight #25 and introduces the fan-favorite MCU character Scarlet Scarab to Earth-616. Obscure or not, that character is only more relevant in 2022, a time when pain management is a trillion dollar business and the effects of the opioid crisis continue to be felt everywhere.July’s going to be a big month for Marvel’s Moon Knight. This obscure villain only appeared in a single Moon Knight comic, which depicts him as a mad scientist obsessed with ending pain in the human body. The trailer doesn’t explicitly reveal that character’s identity, but Marvel has since confirmed Hawke is playing Arthur Harrow. Prior to the trailer’s release, the biggest question surrounding the series was the identity of Ethan Hawke’s mysterious villain character. Often, Moon Knight is shown to have increased strength and stamina that waxes and wanes with the phases of the moon. His abilities vary in the comics, depending on whether Marc is working as Khonshu’s faithful servant or rejecting his godly benefactor. It remains to be seen just what powers Moon Knight will have in this series. This supernatural costume with all its wrappings is clearly inspired by Egyptian mummies, and we can see Marc’s eyes glow with inhuman power. But in the show, we see his costume manifesting entirely out of thin air. In the comics, Moon Knight designs his own costume and gadgets to help fight crime (and occasionally werewolves). The trailer reveals one major deviation in the MCU. As for that woman on the other end of the line, she could be Marlene Alraune, Marc’s frequent love interest in the comics.Īnother scene shows the Steven Grant identity taking over in the middle of one of Marc Spector’s missions, where he’s clearly disturbed to find himself holding a gun and driving a strange truck with an unconscious body in the back. One scene in the trailer shows Steven answering Marc Spector’s phone, and we learn he seemingly has no idea who Marc is. Over the course of the series, Steven will discover just how dark and twisted his other life truly is. Grant doesn’t seem to fully understand his own mental condition, though he’s clearly aware enough to try and stop himself from falling asleep or leaving his apartment. Marvel's description also makes no mention of Jake Lockley, which could suggest he's being eliminated from the dynamic or being saved for a later season. Instead, he’s a British man who works at the London Museum gift shop and is drawn to the museum’s Egyptian artifacts for reasons he can’t explain. And unlike the comics, this version of Steven isn’t a rich American playboy. Both the trailer footage and Marvel’s official description for the series suggest we’ll be seeing the conflict mostly through the eyes of Steven Grant rather than Marc Spector. However, the MCU looks to be taking a slightly different approach.
