Marvel’s long-awaited new show Moon Knight finally landed on Disney+ last week. The premiere, called The Goldfish Problem, saw Oscar Isaac star as mild-mannered London gift shop employee Steven Grant who is slowly losing his grip on reality.
He can hear the booming voice of ancient Egyptian moon god Khonshu directing his fate and blackouts transport him to strange destinations. He suddenly finds himself hunted by a cult leader who wants the golden scarab beetle in Steven’s possession.
It emerges Steven has dissociative identity disorder - a mental health condition where the person has multiple, distinct personalities that controls their behaviour at different times. Another of his personalities is a mercenary called Marc Spector.
