First Reactions To Moon Knight Tease ‘Mesmerizing’ And ‘Fantastic’ New Series

By George Bate

A lucky few have recently had the opportunity to watch the first four episodes of Moon Knight, the next Disney+ show in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Hopes for the show had been high ever since the stellar cast was announced, which includes Oscar Isaac in the title role and Ethan Hawke in what will be his first ever superhero outing. Given the initial reactions, these expectations might have been well placed, with the series being met with high praise ahead of its March 30 debut.

Check out some reactions here:

I’ve watched the first 4 episodes of #MoonKnight, it’s unlike anything we’ve seen before from the MCU. It’s a psychological thriller with a touch of Indiana Jones, it kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. And Oscar Isaac delivers a mesmerizing performance. pic.twitter.com/OWYaWeye41

#MoonKnight is really good. Episodes 1 & 4 are my favorites.

Oscar Isaac is great as Steven & Marc. Costumes look fantastic.

It’s definitely Marvel’s darkest and scariest. The mysteries kept me really engaged and it plays a lot like a movie! Can’t wait to see 5 & 6. pic.twitter.com/tozAPuqtMT

I've watched the first 4 episodes of #Marvel #MoonKnight & it's unlike anything we've seen in the #MCU – Oscar Issac is Fantastic! I can't wait to watch the rest of the series. This isn't your typical superhero origin. It's Excellent! It arrives on #Disneyplus on March 30th pic.twitter.com/BPUUmr4cPd

#MoonKnight is a brilliantly bonkers dark globe-trotting adventure; this is Marvel's trippy National Treasure. Oscar Isaac is the best addition to the MCU since RDJ, entwining torment and humour into a morally ambiguous cypher – Marc Spector is a whole new calibre of hero. pic.twitter.com/nlL9QgtbyA

A HUGE thank you to @DisneyPlusUK and @theDDAgroup for letting me watch the first FOUR episodes of #MoonKnight . I obviously won't post spoilers here but, if you want my reaction: the best Marvel Studios project I've EVER seen.

Delivering lots of Indiana Jones style archaeology action (swap out the whip for a cape) and Oscar Isaac’s great turn in the lead role – #MoonKnight is plenty of fun.

It’s not as bonkers as I hoped for… but a later episode hints much more of that is coming 👀 pic.twitter.com/oDtAfvD4Hn

I’ve watched the first 4 #MoonKnight eps and I’m as divided by this show as Marc himself. When it works, it’s a wildly original MCU entry with flashes of greatness, but some of the sillier aspects detract from the horror. Diehard comic fans might not enjoy it as much as newcomers pic.twitter.com/ZWitn1rpn2
