Moonknight TV Show?

[RaZaTrOn]

Just found this. Never heard about it before. Not sure how reliable it is but i guess time will tell.

Moon Knight TV series

Marvel has announced a deal with No Equal Entertainment to create Marvel’s character Moon Knight as a television series.
Moon Knight is a semi succussful vigilante/Super-hero comic book series. Marvel has announced a deal with No Equal Entertainment to make Moon Knight into a TV series. No air date has been reveled

For those of you who don't know who Moon Knight (Mark Spector)is he's a vigilante dressed in a all white costume (see picture)who was given a second chance for life by the Egyptian god Khonshu. In return he is to become Khonshus avatar on earth. Spector then decided to become Moon Knight and fight crime. He has multiple secret identities including rich entrepreneur Steven Grant, using this identity to purchase a spacious estate and a taxicab driver Jake Lockley, which he uses to stay in contact with common people.

I think the show it's self should be something like a action/mystery type thing, where you hear his thoughts (like a naration) as he patrols, during fights and other scenes. It definatly needs to be dark but not so much that the character is unlikeable. Moon Knight also needs to fight villians from the comics and not just normal people all the time. For example the Hulk tv series has a great tv show but he almost always went up against just normal people, and the same with Lois and Clark as well.

No it needs to be done like Smallville (with less drama and not make it about when he was young) where he fights people that can actually fight on his level and I also like how other heroes have made appearances on that show.
Now obviously they can alter the costumes (just the villians)a little bit I'm ok with that because they just don't look as good in live action.

With a good Director and cast this show could actually be good

Is this a new article or a reinteration of the old ones when this was originally mentioned a year and a half ago or so?

 

[TwilightPro101]

Source dates it as 1/17/2009.

 

[Spider-Vader]

Hmmm... Interesting. I wonder if it'll just be solo or if they'll tie him into the Marvel movie universe.

 

[The Major]

Excellent.

 

[cerealkiller182]

I'm game. I was hoping for more Marvel Knights centric, but Moon Knight is cool.

 

[TwilightPro101]

Hoping it happens.

 

[chiefchirpa]

I think this old news or if it's new news, nothing new about it.

 

[The Sarge]

If this is really back on track, that would be awesome.
Hopefully like the current series. I want a crazy Marc Spector!

 

[Matt Mortem]

Lord we could only be so lucky as to get a Moon Knight TV show. I hope to God it happens

 

[marcvader]

I say why not. We need an actual live action comic book based series not the garbage we get from Snoreville.

Marvel needs a live action TV series for sure

 

[OsGom]

Awesome! It's a start but hey need to make it gritty and violent. Preferably Showtime or HBO should option this so we can get some mature content and a good budget.

 

[rogue trooper]

I really hope this happens. We really need a more traditional(relatively speaking, ofcourse) live action superhero show. I know I'm in the minority, but Smallville and Heroes don't really manage to grab me. The last time I was very excited to watch a live superhero show was waaaayyy back with the Superboy and The Flash tv series. So sad.

I thought mutant x was pretty good. But I agree, HBO or showtime.

 

[rogue trooper]

...yeah, Mutant X and Blade were very decent attempts.

Don't know much about Moonknight's history. Does MK have a rogues gallery or does he just battle street level crime?

 

[david icke]

I've only really read MoonKnight in Spidey comics and bits and pieces of his solo stuff(so don't know about rouges gallery for instance) but I have to say, I've always had a problem with his bright white suit. It looks cool but he is so much of a target skulking about in the night with that on. Keep the suit for the show but change it to black and grey I'd say, his white eyes can look like the moon against the black sky instead of his whole suit screaming 'moon!'.

 

[DJ Kornphlake]

He wears white because he wants to the bad guys to see him coming. A black and gray costume would make him look too much like Batman.

 

[OsGom]

Moon Knight has always battled villains with a supernatural edge. If they do a TV adaptation I think they should keep it in that vein. Werewolf by Night, Morbius, Black Spectre, Bullseye and Taskmaster. They could play up the whole hero on the run angle.

 

[Lobo]

Cool, hope this happens

 

[rogue trooper]

Does MK have a rogues gallery or does he just battle street level crime?

His rogues gallery consists of:

- Bushman

- Midnight

- Morpheus

- Black Spectre

- Werewolf By Night

- Taskmaster

- The Whyos

- Scarlet

- The Committee

- Anubis

- Lupinar

- The Hatchet-Man


.....I've also said in previous threads that Arcane could be a suitable opponent for MK.

They're they're exception to the rule, though. While MK has dabbling in fighting mystical bad guys they're not his main niche, it's street crime.

What's supernatural about Bullseye, Taskmaster and Black Spectre?

10 bucks says they butcher the hell outta his costume.
