The latest poster for Marvel Studios’ Moon Knight reveals an aquatic friend who evidently has a significant role to play in the fast-approaching Disney+ series.
Ahead of Moon Knight‘s Disney+ premiere tomorrow, March 30, Marvel Studios released a new poster featuring what appears to be a goldfish inside of a water pitcher. On Twitter, the poster was simply captioned with a fish emoji, with Marvel offering no further hints as to whose fish this is or what role it plays in the story. Evidently, however, the fish is important enough to warrant its own character poster.
As some have pointed out, this is only the last example of a non-human companion getting their own character poster for a Marvel Cinematic Universe project. For instance, Goose the Cat (who is actually a Flerken) got her own poster for the 2019 film Captain Marvel. In 2021 alone, Alligator Loki got their own poster for the Disney+ series Loki, the Dijiang known as Morris got his own poster for the film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and Lucky the Pizza Dog got his own poster for the Disney+ series Hawkeye.
Moon Knight stars Oscar Isaac as Marc Spector/Moon Knight, a mercenary turned superhero who suffers from Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) and has a number of alters, including Steven Grant and the mysterious Mr. Knight. After being betrayed and left for dead by his fellow mercenaries, Marc is saved by Khonshu, the Egyptian God of the Moon. Khonshu chooses Marc to become the bearer of his powers on Earth, instructing him to protect the innocent as Moon Knight in order to make amends for his life of violence.
In addition to Isaac as Marc Spector and his alters, Disney+’s Moon Knight stars Ethan Hawke as Arthur Harrow, May Calamawy as Layla El-Faouly, Gaspard Ulliel as Anton Mogart/Midnight Man, F. Murray Abraham as Khonshu, Antonia Salib as Taweret, Rey Lucas as Elias Spector, Fernanda Andrade as Wendy Spector, Lucy Thackeray as Donna, Ann Akinjirin as Bobby and David Ganly as Billy. Meanwhile, Saffron Hocking, Sofia Asir, Ahmed Dash, Hazem Ehab, Amr Al-Qadi, Zizi Dagher, Sofia Danu, Karim El-Hakim, Shaun Scott and Díana Bermudez have all been cast in undisclosed roles.
“Based on the four episodes available to review, it’s impossible to know if the story lands its central mystery,” CBR’s own Cass Clarke said in their official review for the series. “One thing is for certain though, Moon Knight is thoroughly entertaining in its design, concept, look, and feel that it brings to the MCU as a whole. There are so many interesting aspects of this show thus far that it’d be hard not to root for a Season 2 to dive deeper into the many questions and contradictions it brings to the surface.
Marvel Studios’ Moon Knight premieres Wednesday, March 30 on Disney+.
