The latest episode of Marvel Studios: Assembled has arrived on Disney+, ready to take viewers behind the scenes of Moon Knight.
Moon Knight stars Oscar Isaac as Steven Grant. When Steven, a mild-mannered gift-shop employee, becomes plagued with blackouts and memories of another life, he discovers he has dissociative identity disorder and shares a body with mercenary Marc Spector. As Steven/Marc’s enemies converge upon them, they must navigate their complex identities while thrust into a deadly mystery among the powerful gods of Egypt.
The series also stars Ethan Hawke, May Calamawy, and F. Murray Abraham.
