Starring Oscar Isaac as the titular character,Moon Knight is unique characterwho has multiple different personalities. Following in line with what the comic books did, the character is one of Marvel’s more grounded fighters. Many are hoping to see him fight alongside characters like Blade, The Punisher or even Ghost Rider.
It’s good to see that the love for Spider-Man stretches to both the fanbase and the creators. Spider-Man is such a pivotal character to Marvel, as he is the center of a lot of storylines and means so much to many people. He’s one of the few characters who wears their flaws on their sleeves, and this is what people find relatable as well as likable.
Moon Knightis a particularly interesting character, as he is often classified as a street level superhero similar to Spider-Man due to the way they both fight crime. Using their hands, gadgets and fighting skills puts them in different class than someone like Iron Man or Doctor Strange. This, however, doesn’t mean that these heroes are weak, as they both have an easy time dispatching foes and are both incredibly difficult to take on in combat.
