Why Moon Knight Is Only Showing Two Characters In The Trailer
The Super Bowl provided a new Moon Knight trailer, but like its predecessors, it only showed two major characters, hinting at the secrets the show might be keeping. Moon Knight will be arriving on Disney+ on March 30, 2022.

The Moon Knight super bowl trailer was only 30 seconds long but provided some new glimpses of the Moon Knight character and his equipment including a cape and his crescent-bladed boomerangs. However, only two characters are shown in the trailer. Moon Knight himself, also known as Marc Spector, and played by Oscar Isaac is the primary focus of the trailer. Ethan Hawke’s mysterious take on the presumably villainous Arthur Harrow also makes an appearance while providing some voiceover as well. This mimics previous trailers which only showed other incidental characters.
