With just under two weeks to go before the show’s debut on Disney+, Marvel shared a new clip from the upcoming original series, Moon Knight.
- The new clip, which has been mostly seen in previous trailers, is titled “Contact Lens” and features a humorous situation between Oscar Isaac’s Steven Grant and an elderly woman in an elevator.
- Grant appears spooked by an ominous ghostly figure approaching him before it gives way as the woman appears.
- The clip gives us our best look yet at Khonshu, the moon god that gives Moon Knight his abilities.
- You can watch “Contact Lens” below:
