Empire Magazine has revealed the cover of their latest issue, which features Marvel Studios’ upcoming Disney+ series Moon Knight. It also presents the clearest look at the costume for the titular character so far, along with the first look at Moon Knight wearing a version inspired by his famous “Mister Knight” suit from the comics. The series will be released on March 30. It stars Oscar Isaac, Ethan Hawke and May Calamawy.

Here’s a synopsis: The series follows Steven Grant, a mild-mannered gift-shop employee, who becomes plagued with blackouts and memories of another life. Steven discovers he has dissociative identity disorder and shares a body with mercenary Marc Spector. As Steven/Marc’s enemies converge upon them, they must navigate their complex identities while thrust into a deadly mystery among the powerful gods of Egypt.

While speaking to Empire, Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige promised a ‘brutal’ series that won’t hold back.

He said: “He’s brutal. It’s been fun to work with Disney+ and see the boundaries shifting on what we’re able to do. There are moments [in the series] when Moon Knight is wailing on another character, and it is loud and brutal, and the knee-jerk reaction is, ‘We’re gonna pull back on this, right?’ No. We’re not pulling back. There’s a tonal shift. This is a different thing. This is Moon Knight.”

Oscar Isaac added: “It is risky. He’s an obscure hero, and the things we’re dealing with are very different. But because it’s a limited series, rather than a movie, the pressure isn’t there to make sure the opening weekend is massive. We’re able to take more risks, to bring that experimental quality on a huge scale.”
