Since his debut in 1975, Moon Knight has various incarnations over the decades. He has been an ex-Marine turned mercenary with multiple alter egos to begin a conduit for the Egyptian moon god Khonshu. His most recent appearance has him as a dapper consultant. In the modern comics era, one of the stories has been Marc Spector’s struggle with multiple personality disorder.

Clash helmer Mohamed Diab, Justin Benson, and Aaron Moorhead, the filmmaking team behind The Endless and Synchronic, are directing Moon Knight. The series will center on the character Marc Spector, a complex vigilante who suffers from a dissociative identity disorder. These multiple identities who live inside him are distinct characters in the series and will appear against a backdrop of Egyptian iconography. It will mark the character’s debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). There is no official announcement on its premiere date on the Disney+ platform. However, it is expected to have around six episodes with a 40-50 minute runtime per episode.
