'Moon Knight' Episode 4 Ending : Is the man in the coffin Jake Lockley?

Much of the chatter on Twitter is about Lockley making his much-awaited appeance in Episode 5

It was one helluva ending of 'Moon Knight' Episode 4 with Oscar Isaac's Marc Spector/Grant Stevens facing off against Ethan Hawke's Arthur Harrow in 'The Tomb'. The episode ended with what appeared to be the afterlife where Steven and Spector now have different bodies. They also come face-to-face with an unknown entity and also a coffin that demands to be opened. It was an absurd and mind-boggling sequence after what was 40 minutes of intense action and crisp storytelling, but the madness in the climax makes for an interesting Episode 5.

The working theory: Grant and Spector are now dead, but they do seem to be in a different dimension of sorts with the setting being a mental hospital and Harrow as one of the doctors. For those unaware, the scene borrows heavily from Jeff Lemire and artist Greg Smallwood's 'Lunatic', a comic that sees Spector in an asylum of sorts with some of his acquaintances. It also reveals that he's been there since he was a kid and Moon Knight was his imagination going wild. There are some changes with a mummy coffin popping up at the hospital as well, which fans theorize to be Jake Lockley, Spector's third avatar.

'Moon Knight' Episode 4: Abrupt ending leaves fans confused, but love 'top tier' chapter

"#MoonKnight ep 4 spoilers!!!! - - - - - - - im starting to think that the other coffin is jake lockley," one of the fans wrote. "if jake lockley is really gonna show up in moon knight ep 4, i'm gonna freak out and scream so loud 'till my throat hurts," another remarked. "#MoonKnight Ep.4 Spoiler . . . . Jake Lockley to Marc and Steven in the last minutes, but he said “LET ME OUT BDISJEJDIDN!! " one of the opined. "#MOONKNIGHT EP 4 SPOILERS!! . . . . . . . . . speaking of which i am SO RELIEVED they didn't make marc (or worse jake with how he's slowly coming into the show) the one to have k!ll3d her dad because he's guilty enough but it isn't SO bad they can't at least be friends," a tweet read.

The first tease regarding Spector's third identity comes at the end of an action scene in Moon Knight episode 3. While he spends a major part of the chapter chasing down some of Arthur Harrow's (Ethan Hawke's) followers. Steven disrupts the fighting by momentarily taking control. After catching back up to Harrow's followers, Steven's continued intervening results in Marc getting whacked unconscious. However, when he wakes up, he finds himself covered in blood and when he questions Steven about what he's done, the latter denies the act.

 Now, the coffin scene seems to make it all the more clear that Lockley will almost certainly make an appearance in Episode 5.
