(CNN) --
In the spectrum of Marvel heroes, don't expect Oscar Isaac to be a Moon Knight in shining armor.
At least, that's what we can gather from the intense first trailer for the Disney+ series "Moon Knight," which premiered Monday night.
The series, according to Disney+, tells the story of Steven Grant, played by Isaac, a man who "becomes plagued by 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 on them, they must navigate their complex identities as they plunge into a deadly mystery among powerful gods. from Egypt,” reads a synopsis.
Ethan Hawke and May Calamawy also star in the series.
Isaac serves as the show's executive producer.

The trailer has undeniable undertones of a psychological thriller, notably taking a darker tone than some of Disney+'s previous Marvel series.
Whether the actual series mirrors the trailer remains to be seen.
But Disney+ is probably betting that Marvel fans can't resist Moon Knight.
