Who could be cast as Moon Knight?

Zachary Quinto is another actor who I can see in the role
 
Hugh Dancy - Moon Knight

if you haven't watched Justified, you should. Partly because Elmore Leonard has a hand in it. Also because it will make you a fan of Olyphant

I haven't watched it but I've heard good things about it... I love him in everything else he does... and he is rather attractive ;) A perfect Moon Knight
 
Adrien Brody he would be another interesting choice as Marc Spector/Moon Knight or how about Joaquin Phoenix
 
Tony Hale. He's typecasted as crazy all the time.

But more seriously, most of the lesser know names seem to fit better. It seems like some more well known names don't fit as well imo. Maybe it's because I've seen them as non-Spector characters, or maybe because they are well known for their attractiveness rather than their diverse acting skills.
Currently looking for a lesser known but good actor who can play a dark character who is not fully stable...

Jim Caviezel? He's very dark in manner in most films I have seen him in, and his monotone acting voice could work well for Marc.

Sharlto Copley would be an interesting choice. He can do a darker character well as shown in Elysium. He's usually seen as a more lighthearted actor, which is why his performance was so surprising.

Sharlto Copley is an interesting choice. I would put him on a short list for the character.
 
Anyone mention Jake Gyllenhaal yet?
He has the look, physicality and intensity for the roll in my opinion.
 
Jake Gyllenhaal probably is the best choice for Marc Spector/Moon Knight
 
I know Jake, years ago has been mentioned for Batman before Bale was cast. He was also mentioned to take over the role of Spider-Man for Raimi when Tobey looked like he couldnt go on. Something tells me he wants to stay away from the superhero movies.

Shame.
Combo of him as Moon Knight and Ryan Gosling as Johnny Blaze will likely never happen.

You never know though, if the right director is in place that can make a huge difference, and despite the hectic schedules and appearances that some actors loathe, it must be nice being able to "guarantee" high paying work over the course of many years.

Plus you can usually fit independent art-house films between MCU movies.
 
And of course you wanna keep Moon Knight young which is why Gyllenhaal would be the best pick mainstream movie-wise but if it's Netflix wise then I would go with Logan Marshall Green
 
Well, Gyllenhaal will be too expensive if its a Netflix show. They can take a chance with an "unknown" actor on Netflix, but if its a movie, they probably wan't a more famous actor.
 
So who are Moon Knight's supporting cast members? If they make a Netflix series I hope they bring in maya Lopez because I like the two of them together.

They probably couldn't use captain America, Spider-Man and wolverine as his psyches though because of legal issues and not being able to afford Evans or Holland for tv.

Maybe they could sub in the punisher instead of wolverine?
 
It's a tv budget, let's not forget that, so I'd be good with like Antony Starr from Banshee or Matt Lauria from The Kingdom/Friday Night Lights.

And I don't want anything from Bendis' run in the Netflix show. None of it. I'd be more open to aspects from his Ultimate version than from his actual 616 mess.
