What's this I hear about a Moon Knight live action TV show? Anyone know of any developments on that, such as, perhaps, a casting part for MK?
Moon Knight
Character » Moon Knight appears in 1414 issues.
Moon Knight, Marc Spector, Steven Grant, and Jake Lockley: four different aspects of the same man who was resurrected by Khonshu (the Egyptian Lunar-God of Vengeance and Justice) to serve as his "avatar." Those unjust mortals who prey upon the innocents traveling at night, with powers that come from the moon, beware the Vengeance of the Moon Knight!
Moon Knight TV show?
It's been announce in 2006, but there no development since then. More likely they are not pushing through because of the failure of "Blade: the Series"
He was made reference in the first episode, where he is said to be an expert on werewolves
Cosmic Sentinel says:
"Vance Astro says:"honestly who the hell would watch this."I would, Moon Knight is awesome."
I mean't collectively.I wasn't asking in general.I know at least a few people are going to say there going to watch it.This show will get canceled.Moon Knight is to explicit for t.v and if they bring him down.He won't be awesome anymore.
If Blade had been a success, it would have proven that this could work. As it stands, I heard they aren't making it now anyway.

"If Blade had been a success, it would have proven that this could work. As it stands, I heard they aren't making it now anyway."How could anybody have expected Blade to work.The main actor is a washed up rapper.

I didn't know who he was. Then again, I didn't watch it anyway, I liked the look of the trailers though.

"Why not a movie? Everybody today likes superhero movies.."
But he's not popular enough to make MARVEL any money.

Yeh and don't forget his fighting abilities were bad and I mean BAD. he must of been the most light hearted stupid ass rendition of Blade I've ever seen. Blade is usually criticised by other vampire slayers for being too heartless, yet this version barely tortured guys. I felt cheated.
If they make a moonknight series he will be downplayed to fit the script and the chances of him killing people on TV is close to nil. when will marvel learn to stop tryin to get money and stick to just keeping the characters real. ooops sorry I just drifted off for a second into a world where marvel cares about us fans, it won't happen again.
What about a mini-series. Like telling his origins, just to test if the audience will like him for what he is..
Let's just say if they can get a good artist and get this on HBO so they don' have to water down the character,we could have another ood Marvel cartoon on our hands.

His name is Sticky Fingaz, from the old rap group, Onyx. His flow is just as bad as his acting job.
Static Shock says:

Iunno.I said HBO because I remember Spawn being on HBO the animated series and there was basicaly no limit to what could be said or done.Adult Swim has some limitations.

I know exactly who he is.He's actually not a bad rapper but he got a lazy ass eye.When Onyx first came out they were all wack as f#ck but I have his jackin for beats freestyle on my pc...and he's really spittin'.

I figured on a whole I saw one episode of the Blade series, and it just didn't do it for me.
though in regards to a Moon Knight TV show, I agree if done right, and put in a place where the charcater was allowed to be as it was intended.. it would work out rather well.

if writtin properly it could simply be a good movie that does not rely on well known charactors.here's an idea possible spoilers: he is a mercenary who is charged with the task of being moon knight by a moon god.however he has an identity disorder that causes him him to commit crimes as ninja ronin.now he must stop ninja ronin by diving into the mangled depths of his mind.

If it's written properly? There has been cartoons for popular heroes written poorly.What good writer is going to bother with Moon Knight.He's a nobody.
"if written properly?what good writer is going to bother with Moon Knight?"
he is more usefull in the cinamatic,flashy,and complex world of gritty movies than guy like the hulk.His identity disorder can make him a man who seems to be a cold ruthless judge of death to crimanals but weak to his own mind and the demons it creates from his emotions
"True but Moonknight has alot of violence & unless marvel & it produces want it to be for a set audience aka teens to adults then it'll be watered down for kid 's .. .If anything, Moon Knight needs to be an animated T.V. show, and it should be aired on Adult Swim.

" The need to make an animated Moon Knight movie, that would be sweet. I mean damn, they did Dr. Strange and he's not anymore known that Moony is. "Doctor Strange is also a way better character, and I say it as a Moon Knight fan
" @G Bird said:I beg to differ. Strange is cool and all, but Moon Knight is a lot more interesting I think." The need to make an animated Moon Knight movie, that would be sweet.
