Here's your first look at Marvel's 'Moon Knight'

Marvel's newest anti-hero is coming to Disney+ real soon. And the first trailer for Moon Knight is here. Based on the character of the same name, the new series follows Marc Spector (played by Oscar Isaac), an ex-Marine and CIA agent suffering from a dissociative identity disorder. He finds himself sharing a body with a mild-mannered gift-shop employee Steven Grant and the vicious vigilante Moon Knight, who serves as an avatar for the Egyptian moon god Khonshu. 

The trailer focuses more on Steven talking about his insomnia and how he can't tell the difference between his waking life and dreams, especially as he gets glimpses of disturbing visions. There's not much in terms of a plot, but that's expected. 

The trailer does give us a peek at Ethan Hawke's appearance in the MCU as Arthur Harrow, a scientist in the comics who appears in the series as a mysterious man with long, flowing hair being worshipped like he's a messianic leader. He knows Marc's disorder and advises him to "embrace the chaos." As The Ringer pointed out, Harrow has a minor presence in the comics. The site speculates he could be merged with the more popular villain Sun King, a cult-like leader who embodies the teachings of the Sun God Ra.

The six-episode series will be debuting on Disney+ on March 30.
