Moon Knight Trailer Breakdown: 11 Things You Must See

4. Sacred Vestments

We also manage to get a good look at the live-action Moon Knight suit which consists of multiple white, tattered bandages. Not only does the aesthetic of the vestments fit the Ancient Egyptian backdrop, but the suit also wraps around Marc under the rays of the moon.

Though this approach may differ from the comics' usual tactical suit, it reinforces the importance of the Moon in the MCU, adding more evidence to the existence of ancient gods on Earth (other than Arishem’s Eternals). Not only that, but the attire brings in a chance for the Moon Knight title to now hold an extended historical legacy.

When Marc wears the 'vestments' his whole psyche also transforms, turning him from the arguably moral Marc / Steven / Jake into the savage Fist of Khonshu. When wearing the suit, Moon Knight's bloodthirsty approach to sweeping up the roads for justice eventually builds up an infamous reputation in the criminal underworld. Marc even admits that the white scheme isn't for stealth but rather so targets can see him coming, therefore inducing fear.
