Marvel Studios' Moon Knight continues to give a fresh look into ancient Egyptian mythology while also providing a sense of authenticity regarding the cultural aspects of its expansive story.

Based on the trailer, it seems those odds are high. Not much is known about what is set to unfold during the show’s six installments.
