Moon Knight - Summon the Suit

Marvel's Moon Knight
Marvel

It appears that Steven Grant (Oscar Isaac) is more than a little out of his depth in this scene from Marvel's Moon Knight Layla El-Faouly (May Calamawy) may be urging him to "summon the suit", but it seems like Steven doesn't know how. But that doesn't stop villain Arthur Harrow (Ethan Hawke) from doing a little summoning of his own.

May love and laughter light your days,
And warm your heart and home.

Bring the best to you and yours.

Marvel's Moon Knight is an upcoming series about a man with dissociative identity disorder. As a result, he has many different incarnations, each with their own appearance. Above is Moon Knight.

Marvel's Moon Knight

Here he is as Mr. Knight.

Marvel's Moon Knight

And this is Steven Grant/Marc Spector. 

These many voices will be forced together into an adventure involving the Egyptian gods. It should be very interesting.


Here's the official synopsis from Marvel:

The series 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.

Edinburgh, Scotland

They have the most fascinating pubs in Scotland. The White Hart Inn is the oldest in Edinburgh. In the entryway, a sign provides the following information:

Welcome to the White Hart Inn, the city of Edinburgh's most ancient tavern. Follow in the footsteps of Oliver Cromwell, William Wordsworth, and Robert Burns, by enjoying a tankard of fine ale or one of our world-famous whiskies. Founded in 1516, The White Hart is named after the rarest of all highland creatures, which can be spotted sometimes no more than once in a century. It was used as a heraldic symbol in the 14th century by King Richard II, and for almost five hundred years has welcomed travelers through these doors.
