A trailer that debuted during halftime of an NFL wild-card playoff game in January got superhero fans hyperventilating about Moon Knight (beginning March 30 on Disney+), a new series based on the Marvel Comics character and part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

Oscar Isaac stars as Steven Grant, an unassuming man who works in a gift shop. Plagued with blackouts and memories of another life, Steven learns he has dissociative identity disorder and shares a body with mercenary Marc Spector, and from there the real fun begins.

Lots of action follows as the duo is thrust into a deadly mystery among the powerful gods of Egypt with their enemies converging upon them.

Ethan Hawke costars as the villain, cult leader Arthur Harrow, who tries to convince Steven/Marc to join the dark side.
