Moon Knight Doesn't Rely On MCU Phase 4 Plot To Tell Its Story
Moon Knight's executive producer Grant Curtis explains that the upcoming series does not rely on the MCU's Phase 4 plot to drive its narrative. Premiering on Disney+ later this month, the sixth television project produced by Marvel Studios was created by Jeremy Slater and is based on the popular comics character of the same name. The show will follow Marc Spector/Moon Knight, a mercenary with dissociative identity disorder, which has caused him to develop multiple identities, namely Steven Grant, who finds himself investigating a mystery related to Egyptian gods. Oscar Isaac, who stars in the titular role, has discussed the series' depiction of Moon Knight, saying that Marvel's show takes the mental health aspect seriously and that it will act as a character study. In addition to Isaac, the series cast will include Ethan Hawke, May Calamawy, Gaspard Ulliel, and F. Murray Abraham.
Phase 4 of the MCU began with the widely successful launch of its television series, starting with WandaVision, and will progress with a number of future shows and film projects, such as Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk, Thor: Love and Thunder, and the upcoming Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. With so much content coming out, the connectivity of it all remains unclear, but Marvel has been experimenting with noticeably more tonal and formulaic changes. Different stories and new character introductions have also led many to consider Phase 4 to be important in determining the longevity of the MCU's success.
