Caution: spoilers ahead for Moon Knight episode 1

Here are all of the Marvel references and Easter eggs lurking in MoonKnight episode 1. Following hot on Clint Barton's heels, Moon Knight is Disney+'s latest addition to Kevin Feige's MCU kingdom, but Oscar Isaac is worlds away from festive larking and humorous LARPing. The Moon Knight premiere introduces Isaac as Steven Grant — a mild-mannered gift shop assistant at London's National Art Gallery. Steven, in his own words, believes he "wanders about" at night, but as alluded to later in the episode, he's actually living with DID (Disassociative Identity Disorder), and «Steven Grant» represents one of multiple internal identities.

One of those identities is the formidable mercenary known as Marc Spector, and the back-and-forth between alters takes Moon Knight's premiere from London to the Alps, by way of ancient Egypt. Predictably, then, Moon Knight isn't your typical MCU product — and that goes for its philosophy toward Easter eggs too. Whereas Marvel fans are accustomed to (nay, expecting) references to past MCU figures and events, Moon Knight exists in total isolation thus far. Were it not for the famous introductory title card, the casual fan would have no idea they're watching a Marvel property.
