Moon Knight Fans Have Wild Theories Based on This New Marvel Promo

By Adam Barnhardt - April 2, 2022 09:55 pm EDT

The first episode of Moon Knight has arrived on Disney+ long at last, and is one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's most-acclaimed series yet. To help promote future episodes, the House of Ideas released a new teaser on Saturday. Revealing more clips from episodes unseen, fans got a perfect glimpse of what's to come — and many are already theorizing about the show's comics inspiration.

In the teaser released, Marc Spector (Oscar Isaac) — or Steven Grant, for that matter — appears to be trapped in a mental hospital. Longtime fans of the character will notice the inspiration from one of the character's biggest runs, courtesy of Jeff Lemire and Greg Smallwood.

THE Project

That’s why we’re seeing some of MK’s most iconic moments, specifically taken from the Lemire run. They really had no intention of doing this again. This Moon Knight project is THE Moon Knight project. Anything more we get will be the encore. pic.twitter.com/NV4wCQazMV
