Instead, with the MCU’s version of Steven Grant, we have a character who is instantly grounded, if a little odd (aren’t we all?). Considering how many live-action versions of the billionaire playboy we have, Marvel is better off without introducing yet another one, especially since in many ways, the MCU’s Tony Stark, played by Robert Downey Jr.already acted as their stand-in for Bruce Wayne. It’s not uncommon to hear Moon Knight described as Marvel’s answer to Batman, so the show runners have made the intelligent move to carve out a whole new personality for Steven Grant. On the page, Steven looks and acts very much like Bruce Wayne, the man behind the Batman cowl. If all of that sounds terribly familiar, it’s because it is. In the comics, Steven Grant is the wealthy identity of Marc Spector - it’s thanks to Steven’s financial skills that Marc is able to afford the gadgets and gizmos needed to create Moon Knight.

If Marvel Studios executives are smart, they will keep it that way. Four episodes in and Steven has had more scenes and a superior character arc than Marc Spector, the real hero of the show.

And, to our surprise, Steven doesn’t just disappear. Instead, the show opens with a constantly tardy, Egyptology-obsessed nerd named Steven Grant. Editor's note: The following contains spoilers for the first four episodes of Moon Knight.Most viewers tuning in to watch the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s take on Moon Knightwould likely have expected Marc Spector ( Oscar Isaac) to lead the show.
