Moon Knight's executive producer Grant Curtis explains that the upcoming series does not rely on the MCU's Phase 4 plot to drive its narrative. Premiering on Disney+ later this month, the sixth television project produced by Marvel Studios was created by Jeremy Slater and is based on the popular comics character of the same name. The show will follow Marc Spector/Moon Knight, a mercenary with dissociative identity disorder, which has caused him to develop multiple identities, namely Steven Grant, who finds himself investigating a mystery related to Egyptian gods. Oscar Isaac, who stars in the titular role, has discussed the series' depiction of Moon Knight, saying that Marvel's show takes the mental health aspect seriously and that it will act as a character study. In addition to Isaac, the series cast will include Ethan Hawke, May Calamawy, Gaspard Ulliel, and F. Murray Abraham.

Phase 4 of the MCU began with the widely successful launch of its television series, starting with WandaVision, and will progress with a number of future shows and film projects, such as Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk, Thor: Love and Thunder, and the upcoming Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. With so much content coming out, the connectivity of it all remains unclear, but Marvel has been experimenting with noticeably more tonal and formulaic changes. Different stories and new character introductions have also led many to consider Phase 4 to be important in determining the longevity of the MCU's success.

ComicBook recently reported on Marvel's latest Moon Knight press briefing, in which executive producer Grant Curtis discussed what makes the series different. He talks about building the character up in a way that reflects the earliest of MCU's heroes and says that the show embraces its supernatural elements. When speaking about Moon Knight's relation to the MCU's Phase 4 plot, he states that "there's no attachment to the current MCU. He's brand-new, and he is going on a brand-new adventure. We really think the fans are going to enjoy it."

With more and more Moon Knight content, including trailers and posters, being released, the anticipation from fans continues to increase. Their support of Marvel's television series has allowed such shows as WandaVision and Loki to maintain impressive viewership and trend across social media platforms. Isaac wants his show to have the same effect, saying he hopes Moon Knight will blow people's minds. The character of Marc Spector and his journey is undoubtedly unlike the MCU's other heroes, and fan excitement suggests that they are ready for something different.

Though the series has yet to come out, Oscar Isaac teasing his future in the MCU certainly reveals a lot about the expectation for Moon Knight. The idea that it will not rely on Phase 4's current plot may also prove beneficial, allowing for more of an exploration into the titular character and the world he lives in. Fans of the MCU, as well as the comics, can look forward to seeing the portrayal of Moon Knight when the series debuts on Disney+ on March 30.
