Moon Knight is only one episode in, but it's already proving one of the most intriguing series under Marvel’s belt. In fact, the ending of the series premiere has fans asking questions in a way they haven’t since the first mysterious episodes of Wandavision. Although Ethan Hawke’s Arthur Harrow is being rather obviously put forth as an antagonist in the series, he’s still surrounded by mystery, including the apparent cult of worshippers who surround him. How far does his influence run? And what powers does his apparent worship of the ancient Egyptian deity, Ammit, grant him? At the end of the first episode, Steven Grant, the rather ineffectual alters of both mercenary Marc Spector as well as Moon Knight himself, faces imminent destruction at the hands of what appears to be a combination of man, mummy, and canine wrapped up into a terrifying and super-powered package. Steven finally cedes control of his body and consciousness to Marc Spector, who confronts him via a series of mirrors in the bathroom Steven has barricaded himself into. The audience finally gets their first glimpse of Moon Knight in action as he handily polishes off his attacker.

The ending scene, which shows the hero viciously pummeling the creature in question, was included in the first trailer for the series and immediately ignited speculation as to what Moon Knight was beaten up so enthusiastically. Some fans believed it might actually be a werewolf — perhaps even Jack Russell, the titular subject of Werewolf by Night, the series Moon Knight made his first appearance back in 1975.
