The upcoming Disney+ TV series, Moon Knight, is directed by Mohamed Diab. The action-adventure show will follow the “complex vigilante,” Marc Spector, who suffers from dissociative identity disorder. The multiple identities who live inside him are distinct characters who will appear against a backdrop of Egyptian iconography.
Moon Knight made his Marvel Comics debut in 1975. Mercenary Marc Spector becomes the agent of the Egyptian god Khonshu after he was left for dead on a mission in Egypt. After apparently being revived by Khonshu, Spector assumes the superhero identity of the cloaked avenger, Moon Knight.
