BEST MOMENTS & PLOT HINTS IN MOON KNIGHT TRAILER

Not only will Moon Knight be the first character to make his MCU debut in his own show, but this series is set to be a full-blown origin story. Spanning six episodes, this first season will showcase Marc Spector's manic spiral into madness as he simultaneously transforms into the vicious crime fighter known as Moon Knight.

RUBIK'S CUBE


The first glimpse of Marc Spector pits the future Midnight Son lying in bed, finagling with a Rubik's Cube.

While this could be just something Spector does to pass time, the multi-colored brick alludes to the complexity of the title character's mind. Rubik's Cubes have appeared as a motif in numerous films, from Joseph Gordon Levitt's Snowden to Pixar's Wall-E.
In the aforementioned animated picture, EVE uses a Rubik's Cube to help Wall-E recollect old memories. With Spector not being able to tell the difference between his waking life and dreams, Moon Knight may utilize the mind puzzle as a totem of sorts for Spector to distinguish between his multiple states.

SLEEP TIGHT


No one has a bedtime routine quite like Marc Spector.
While others wash their face and brush their teeth, Spector is triple locking his door and chaining his leg to his bedpost. He also utilizes a sleep tracking app called Lying Awake, whose telemarketer-like voice echoes over overlapping narration from Spector's complex mind.
When he does wake up, Spector is noticeably wearing a different shirt than when he was playing with the Rubik's Cube. This could indicate he stumbled into a sleep-walking, crime-fighting adventure and changed clothes before bed, or it's from a different day, which would allude to the fact that this leg-chain situation is a nightly occurrence for Spector.

LINE IN THE SAND


When he awakes, Spector jolts from his bed in a panic. Before the bedpost chain causes him to faceplant, Spector makes a footprint in a crescent of sand meticulously laid around his bed.

Just as hexagons made constant appearances in Wanda Vision, crescents seem to be a recurring shape within Moon Knight. This particular crescent may be a coincidence, however, as the sand can only form up to a semi circle around Spector's bed, which lies flush against the wall.
Considering most people don't bring this much of the beach into their homes, Spector is likely utilizing the sand here as an effort to ward off demons. With no other explanation making sense for his multi-polar state, Spector may turn to the supernatural for remedy inspiration.

IS MOON KNIGHT STEVEN GRANT OR MARC SPECTOR ?

Just when we think we know the answers, they change the questions.
When Spector arrives to his museum job, he refers to himself as Steven. While Marc Spector is Moon Knight's primary alter ego, Steven Grant is one of the character's multiple personalities. Moon Knight's depiction of Grant is seemingly different from the comics, as, on the page, Steven Grant is a millionaire financier. Fans have yet to see the live-action version's W2s, but this Steven Grant seems to be balling on a budget.

Later in the trailer, Isaac's Grant gets a call on a Motorola Razr from a woman referring to him as Marc, which he responds to confused. Most intriguingly, she's shocked that this Marc is alive.
In the comics, Marc Spector is a mercenary who ends up left for dead in the desert. Spector gets a new lease on life when he's revived by the moon god Khonshu, who makes a blink-and-miss-it appearance in this trailer. With the official show synopsis revealing both Steven and Marc's enemies will "converge upon them," Oscar Isaac may find himself fighting a war on two fronts sooner than later.

KHONSHU THE MOON GOD


While Isaac's character is experiencing his dissociative identity disorder, he sees a flash of a staff-wielding beaked creature. This is Khonshu, the aforementioned moon god responsible for saving Marc Spector's life in Marvel Comics. Khonshu is the one who imbues Spector with powers, transforming him into Moon Knight.

Some of his methods may be questionable, but Khonshu is an overall mentor to Moon Knight. Their relationship will likely follow suit to past teacher and student dynamics in the MCU, like the Ancient One and Doctor Strange.

Embrace the Chaos


Moon Knight's debut trailer concludes with Isaac suited up in his stained white cloak, complete with his iconic glowing eyes.
This hero shot comes right after Moon Knight pummels some sort of non-human creature. This mysterious beast could be Anubis, the Egyptian god of the dead, or a servant of his. While Khonshu's presence indicates Spector / Grant has a deity on his side, the potential violent involvement of Anubis hints that there are Egyptian gods that aren't too fond of the new hero.

This battle also takes place around an array of poorly-lit sinks, and based on the size, this is likely a bathroom for a large building. Trailer footage leading up to this moment indicates this is a bathroom in the museum that Steven Grant works at, which hints at this artifact gallery having a deeper connection to Ancient Egyptian mythology.

The trailer is nice to watch and I recommend to everyone
