Moon Knight

[MoonKnight]

So, what are your thoughts on what you'd like to see in a Moon Knight movie? Where would you like them to take the character? Think it wouldn't be the right time since it's "Marvel's Batman" in the midst of the Batman 3 release?

 

[venom892]

I really never liked the Batman comparison and I think he's very different actually.I don't think we'll get a Moon Knight movie for a while not because of Batman 3 but because Marvel is currently focused on the Avengers line right now.After Avengers I see Iron Man 3 happening and hopefully sequels to Cap and Thor.There are also talks of Dr.Strange.At the earliest I think we can get Moon Knight by 2014 or 2015.

 

[MoonKnight]

True, but they were talking about coming out with some of their 'lesser' known characters, Dr. Strange being amongst them. And it's not like Marvel is short on change. They really haven't had a true flop yet. Plus, they got the backing of Disney. Much deeper pockets. So, who knows? Here's hoping.

I perfer the original 70's Moon Knight with the enhanced moon light powers and the Night Stalker type stories. I've enjoyed the other takes on him too, I just like the first the best. Lately the zombie moon god has been a real jerk. I liked him more when he wasn't acting crazy...

As for which venue ... Marvel Knights, TV, Marvel motion pictures, or Animated movie any are fine with me, just as long as he is taken seriously, and doesn't fear bats.

Would love to a dark, gritty television series for Moon Knight. A television series will be an opportunity to explore his different personas. Perhaps on HBO or another cable network where they don't have to worry about too much about adult themes. I like him as a street level hero. Beginning from his origins to his early days of crime fighting in NYC.

I think Moon Knight is a great character to bring to film. It doesnt have to be TV, it can be done on the big screen. But with Disney now in control.......MK is a very dark character not sure that is direction they like to go. It would have to be an R rated film.

 

[venom892]

Disney is considering a Punisher TV series so anything is possible.

is that live action or animation?

 

[Stark Bauer]

My shortlist for Marc Spector:

Jake Gyllenhaal
Ben Foster
Joaquin Phoenix

Non-Jewish:
Antony Starr

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

Tom Hardy for Spector.

 

[Matt Mortem]

If Moon Knight was ever adapted would you want the multiple personality avenue to be explored? I'm talking specifically Marc Spector, Steven Grant, Jake Lockley and Moon Knight.

Absolutely, though preferably handled in more of a blend of Moench and Huston era and not just the "Lolz, Moon Knight is crazy" idea some people have. Really show him using those personas. Have him use Grant to gain access to wealthy connections and disguise his operation with Grant's finances, use Lockley to get connections on the lower class side of New York and tail criminals in his cab, that sort of thing.

Moon Knight is way more likely to show up as a Netflix series than on the big screen at this point, which in my opinion would probably be a lot better for the character.

 

[Eddie]

A lot of Moon Knight's comics are more suited to television anyway. He doesn't really require a huge budget, and you could easily adapt his bigger arcs into a season of television with individual episodes adapting standalone stories that fit thematically. The Slasher story could easily be a standalone episode that fleshes out Crawley, for example.

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

I'd prefer Moon Knight as a series. I wouldn't compain about a movie though.

 

[Matt Mortem]

If they did a movie an adaptation of The Bottom is hands down the way to go. It's one of the best stories I've read in comics. Whatever they do I hope they avoid anything and everything involving that bit where Moon Knight went to Hollywood and his persona's were Cap, Spidey, and Wolverine. Blech.

Also my opinion. Put him in Season 2 of someone's show and let him go to town the way Punisher gets to.

 

[Matt Mortem]

Didn't The Punisher kill Moon Knight's brother at one point?

 

[Eddie]

Didn't The Punisher kill Moon Knight's brother at one point?

Yeah, though a later story randomly brought him back with no real explanation and had him become Shadowknight... which they had already done. Apparently their best idea for the Shadowland tie-in was to vaguely remake a story that had been done.

 

[Matt Mortem]

I remember the Shadowknight stuff in the semi-recent books. I think Moon Knight would make for an amazing series.

 

[Karamazov]

Pedro Pascal. Why? I want to see him fighting with a stick again. Now without dieing

 

[TheVileOne]

Moon Knight should be a Netflix TV series plain and simple. A movie would be watered down and you can't fully explore having a superhero who is basically a sociopath.

I concur.

I think Netflix are supposedly interested but it might not be til 2020 or so we actually see it.

 

[Matt Mortem]

With Daredevil and Punisher on Netflix I absolutely want Moon Knight on there too. They could even dip their toe into the supernatural waters by introducing Werewolf by Night and possibly Blade.
