If you saw the first trailer for "Moon Knight," the upcoming Disney+ series from Marvel Studios, and thought that Oscar Isaac's British accent was a little bit dodgy, it turns out there may be a good narrative reason for it. In "Moon Knight," Isaac ostensibly plays "Steven Grant, a mild-mannered gift-shop employee, who becomes plagued with blackouts and memories of another life." However, it turns out "he has dissociative identity disorder and shares a body with mercenary Marc Spector," according to the official synopsis.

What this means is that Steven Grant is just one side of the individual who will become Moon Knight, a traditionally violent comic book hero imbued with the power of the Egyptian moon god Khonshu. That accent you were worried about? It's just an affectation of one of his multiple personalities. In other words, the reason it sounds off is that he himself is a little off.

Moon Knight is the kind of hero who's liable to black out and then suddenly regain his awareness in media res behind the wheel of a speeding truck, with no idea of how he got there or why he's holding a gun or why there's blood on his hands. His Disney+ series is headed your way late next month, but in the meantime, there's a new Super Bowl trailer here to whet your appetite. Check it out below.

Isaac himself has called "Moon Knight" a "limited series," though when talking about it and "She-Hulk," another upcoming Disney+ series, Marvel Studios head honcho Kevin Feige said, "We are keeping in mind a structure that would lead into a season 2 and a season 3 in a more direct way, than, say, a show like 'WandaVision.'" The first season of "Moon Knight" (or the whole series, if it does wind up being limited) is six episodes long. Knowing the Marvel Cinematic Universe's penchant for interconnectedness, it's a safe bet Moon Knight will pop up in other Marvel shows or movies somewhere down the line.

Isaac won't be alone on this journey; he's also got Ethan Hawke there with him as a villain inspired by cult leader David Koresh. Joining them are the late Gaspard Ulliel as Anton Mogart, aka Midnight Man, as well as Lucy Thackeray and May Calamawy.

Jeremy Slater is the showrunner for "Moon Knight." Egyptian director Mohammad Diab is handling four of the six episodes, while Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead ("The Endless," "Synchronic") are tackling the other two. Here's the official synopsis:

The story follows Steven Grant, a mild-mannered gift-shop employee, who becomes plagued with blackouts and memories of another life. Steven discovers he has dissociative identity disorder and shares a body with mercenary Marc Spector. As Steven/Marc's enemies converge upon them, they must navigate their complex identities while thrust into a deadly mystery among the powerful gods of Egypt.

"Moon Knight" premieres on Disney+ on March 30, 2022.
