Soon enough, it turns out those visions are really the real, dissociative states of Mark Specter, another character played by Isaac that shares Grant’s body and identity but is also a human embodiment of the Egyptian god Khonshu.

Ultimately, Isaac’s Specter transforms into Moon Knight as he battles the cult leader Arthur Harrow (Ethan Hawke) over the future of Earth.

Reviewing the new series, Variety‘s chief TV critic Daniel D’Addario wrote, “Exploring other facets of the universe while trusting audience members not to wonder how it all connects has enabled Marvel to make a series that is finding its way towards a genuinely compelling portrait of dissociation, anchored by two terrific performances.
