Moon Knight Episode 1 SynopsisMoon Knight Character created by: Doug Moench



Executive Producers - Kevin Feige, Louis D'Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Grant Curtis, Brad Winderbaum, Oscar Isaac, Mohamed Diab, Jeremy Slater



Head Writer: Jeremy SlaterEpisode Written by: Jeremy Slater



Episode Directed By: Mohamed DiabSteven Grant is a mild mannered gift shoppist at the British Museum’s Egyptology section, he takes the bus to work and generally arrives late; he enjoys the company of the living statue, and lives alone with his fish, Gus the one fin wonder in his apartment in central London. But things are not what they seem! Why does he wear ankle restraints to bed? A potential red flag if he were dating, but wait he has a date arranged with the attractive tour guide at work…he just doesn’t know how that came about! And why, oh why does JB the security guard at the museum keep getting his name wrong?



His parallel worlds are about to get out of hand for Steven when he awakes to what should be a Friday to find himself on an Alpine field in Germany, a Scarab Beetle trinket in his hand, a voice ringing out in his head stating “the idiot is in control” and armed guards firing from the Alpine Schloss. Running to the local village for safety he encounters Arthur Harrow who is weighing the lives of volunteers from the village and passing judgment in the name of Egyptian God Ammit. Artur singles out Steven, but despite the blood on his hands, a revolver in his hand, the many dead bodies, the numerous crashed cars and being at the wheel of the Buddy Cupcake van, Steven doesn’t really know how he escaped the pursuing guards from that village! But with a jolt he wakes up in his bed, in his apartment and starts to get ready for work believing it was all just a dream.But things are about to get stranger as it’s actually Sunday, his fish Gus now has two fins, he’s missed his date and back at his flat he finds a cell phone and locker key hidden in his apartment. As he tries to comprehend what’s going on, he investigates a noise in his flat, but finds nothing until his reflection in the mirror, called Marc, seems to be talking to him. He flees his apartment but he encounters a large beaked creature, the God of the moon, Khonshu, in the corridor and flees back to his flat for safety.



Back at work the following week, things don’t stay calm for long as he again encounters Arthur Harrow who is looking to get his Scarab Beetle back, but recognizes the chaos inside Steven Grant. That evening before finishing work an ancient Egyptian Annubis-like dog tracks Steven at the museum. As he runs for his life from the dog, he makes it to safety in the toilets. With the dog breaking down the door, Steven’s reflection tells him “to give him control”. As Steven embraces Marc Spector, Moon Knight emerges and fights off their attacker!Moon Knight Episode 1 Cast
