“Embrace the chaos.”

Marvel fans, rejoice.

A new trailer for Moon Knight, the latest MCU series, arrived on Tuesday (18 January).

The series focuses on Steven, a former soldier struggling with sleep, and being able to tell when he’s awake or dreaming.

Set to a dramatic remix of Kid Cudi’s ‘Day ‘n’ Night’, the trailer shows Stevie chaining himself to a bed so as to not get away while he dreams.

Between falling asleep on a London bus or showing up dishevelled to work, it’s clear that life isn’t so great for our protagonist.

That is, until, he finds a mysterious key and a phone call from someone calling him Marc…

The series stars Oscar Isaac (Dune, Star Wars) as the titular Moon Knight, and Ethan Hawke (Training Day, Dead Poets Society) as a charismatic leader who teaches Marc to “embrace the chaos”.

Much like other recent MCU series’ like Loki or What If…?, the show looks to take a more experimental take on the superhero genre.

The trailer leans heavily on the psychological horror aspect of Moon Knight’s origins, with trippy special effects and Isaac’s performance being one of confusion and terror.

Cult followers, giant monsters, and the pyramids of Egypt will all have their part to play in Steven’s journey.

The series is being written by Jeremy Slater (Fantastic 4, The Umbrella Academy) and executive produced by Kevin Feige (the entire MCU, basically).

One episode is even being directed by George Clooney (The Monuments Men, Leatherheads).

There’s no sign yet as to how this series will fit in with the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but we’re sure a cameo here or a post-credits scene there will explain everything by the time the series has released.

Marvel Studios’ Moon Knight is set to arrive on Disney+ on 30 March.
