Moon Knight Episode 4 Ending Egyptian God Explained By Writer
Warning: This article contains spoilers for Moon Knight episode 4
Moon Knight writer Jeremy Slater explains episode 4's twist ending and its surprise hippo figure. Since premiering on March 30, Marvel's latest series on Disney+ has followed Oscar Isaac as a man suffering from Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). One of his alters is Steven Grant, a mild-mannered museum gift shop employee who speaks with a strange British accent, while the other is Marc Spector, a former mercenary who becomes an avatar for the Egyptian moon god Khonshu and has the ability to "summon the suit," and become the titular Moon Knight.
This week's Moon Knight episode 4, titled «The Tomb,» changed the game for the series with a few surprising twists and turns. Inside the titular tomb, Ethan Hawke's soft-spoken villain Arthur Harrow arrives and shoots Marc twice in the chest and leaves him die. For a second, it appears Moon Knight might have killed off its main character. However, Marc then wakes up in a psychiatric hospital. There, his previously established love interest Layla (May Calamawy) is a fellow patient and Harrow is his doctor. Marc soon finds Steven trapped inside a sarcophagus and the two embrace one another before being taken aback by a hippopotamus-headed figure.
