Moon Knight Premiere Event In Los Angeles & Our Best Look At The Costume!

Yesterday was the Moon Knight premiere event at El Capitan Theatre in L.A. This gala prepares us for the big premiere of the new Marvel Cinematic Universe series next week. The show is based on a comic book of the same name which follows a mercenary whose body conducts the spirit of an Egyptian moon god. That also grants him powers, which allow him to transform into a white-hooded warrior who fights evil.

This series was produced by Marvel Studios and will be broadcast exclusively on Disney+. The episodes will air one each week until the season in question ends. The entire plot of the series is still a bit mysterious since Disney has not commented anything about it.

Oscar Isaac is in charge of playing the role of Marc Spector, the Jewish-American mercenary who transforms into Moon Knight. Other protagonists of this Marvel show are Ethan Hawke (Arthur Harrow) and May Calamawy (Layla El-Faouly). Mohamed Diab directs the streaming.

Moon Knight’s release date will be March 30th, and a rumor points out that it might have some relation with the new Dr. Strange movie.
