Just like my Daredevil and Iron Fist FanCast this will be with one eye on on the netflix show and one eye on a film that will never be made. Anyway let me know what you think: (Also here's some music for mood Knock Knock (Scattle) - YouTube)
The Director:Nicolas Winding Refn
Why:Refn is a director of smart and stylish crime thrillers that include the critically acclaimed Drive and the neon noir Only God Forgives as well as the Pusher trilogy and Bronson. I think if they ever make a MK film/TV show it will likely be based on the current Ellis run and I think this man could get the exact style of the book and he's also a comics fan. Sample:
Marc Spector:Ryan Gosling
Why: I love Ryan Gosling, I think he's a fantastic actor but he's pretty much been fancast as every superhero under the sun but the one character I think he would be perfect for is Moon Knight. Not only is he the directors actor of choice but he was also one of the main inspirations for the current MK creative team. He has the acting chops as well as the swagger and the look of someone that is perfectly calm but has all that rage bubbling beneath.
Marlene Alraune:Carey Mulligan
Why: Carey Mulligan is another director favourite and a fantastic actor that has appeared in Drive, Shame, Public Enemies, the Great Gatsby, Dr Who and the Walking Dead.
Jean-Paul (Frenchie) DuChamp:Vincent Cassel
Why: An award winning French actor that as been in films like Ocean's 11/13, Black Swan and Mesrine.
Randell Spector:Cole Hauser
Why: I know Randell is meant to be Marc's younger brother but I always liked the idea of him being older for some reason and I think Cole is a great actor that can play "mean and crazy" very well. He's been in films like Tears of the Sun, Pitch Black, 2 Fast 2 Furious, Tiger Land and Transcendence.
Bushman:Djimon Hounsou
Why:I've enjoyed everything I have seen Hounsou in like Gladiator and Blood Diamond and I think he would be perfect for this role. He's also a beast of a man and physically intimidating.
Stained Glass Scarlet: Christina Hendricks
Why: Another Driver alum who has also been in Life as We Know it, Detachment and All Star Superman.
Crawley:Bill Nighy
Why: No introduction needed, we all know the sharp tongue of Billy Nighy.
The Profile:Toby Kebbell
Why: Great up and coming British actor that has been in Dead Man Shoes, Rock & Rolla and Prince of Persia.
Khonshu: Voiced by Robin Atkin Downes
Why: He's already voiced Moony and Khonshu in a number of games like Spider-Man: Web of Shadows as well as Marvel Heroes.
