FAN CAST: Marvel Knights

FAN CAST: Marvel Knights

Here are my choices for the members of "Daredevil's Unnamed Super-Hero Team" known to comic book fans as the Marvel Knights...(UPDATED)

Filed Under: Fan Fic

A loose-knit alliance of urban vigilantes, the "Marvel Knights" first assembled to investigate a mysterious masacre of Red Mafia members in Brooklyn. Allied with his ex-partner the Black Widow and the young heroes Cloak and Dagger, Daredevil, soon discovered that the Asgardian Rock Troll Ulik had caused the massacre in search of the mystical Ragnahorn. Aided by the Punisher and Shang-Chi, the Marvel Knights preoccupied the troll and his minions long enough for Daredevil to retrieve the Ragnahorn and deliver it to Ulik, thus averting further incident.

Wealthy adventurer Moon Knight offered to join and finance their new group and Daredevil reluctantly accepted. Moon Knight even provided the "team" with a headquarters, although Daredevil thought a central base of operations was a bad idea. Tensions between Daredevil and Moon Knight escalated once Moon Knight hired Luke Cage as a full-time member without consulting the rest of the team. Spider-Man also joint the team for a short while. In a battle with and assassin cult, Moon Knight's headquarters was destroyed and the team decided to disband.

joshw24: I've based these choices off of the current Marvel characters so some of my choices are a little different to what they've been in the past! For example, I would like to see Bret Harrsion as Spider-Man...however, I think that my alternative choice below is better suited to the Peter in the current comic books! Anyway, on with the cast!

Michael C. Hall as Daredevil

Daredevil


The radioactive waste that blinded Matt Murdock as a child increased his other senses to a super-human level. He now brings justice both as a succesful defense attorney, and as the crime fighting vigilante DareDevil, the Man Without Fear.

Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow

Black Widow


Natasha Romanov, known as Black Widow, is one of the greatest espionage spies still alive today. She was member of the Avengers.

Edi Gathegi as Cloak

Cloak


Cloak is the personification of Darkness itself. He is the Yin to his partner Dagger's Yang. A mutant superhero of the streets, he waged a war against drugs and drug related crimes. He and Dagger have since joined the world's mutants in their exodus.

Annalynne McCord as Dagger

Dagger


Tandy Bowen is half of the vigilante duo known as Cloak & Dagger. After a drug-related experiment awakened her mutant powers, she became the personification of light, able to generate light and use it both offensively or defensively.

Terry Crews as Luke Cage

Luke Cage


Luke Cage, wrongly convicted and unjustly imprisoned, was altered in a failed prison experiment that gave him bullet-proof skin and super-human strength.

Casey Affleck as Moon Knight

Moon Knight


Moon Knight, Marc Spector, Steven Grant, Jake Lockley: different aspects of the same man. All serving Khonshu, the Egyptian Lunar God of Vengeance and Justice as his "Avatar"

John Cho as Shang-Chi

Shang-Chi


Shang-Chi is the Master of Kung-Fu.

Jake Gyllenhaal as Spider-Man

Spider-Man


Peter Benjamin Parker is The Amazing Spider-Man. As a teenager, Peter was bitten by a radioactive spider that gave him super powers.

Ray Stevenson as The Punisher

The Punisher


After the murder of his family, Frank Castle was determined to punish crime by any means necessary. He became the deadliest vigilante who ever lived, The Punisher.

Charlize Theron as Elektra

Elektra


Elektra is Daredevil's most fearsome enemy as well as his former lover. But she is most renowned as being the greatest assassin in the World.

Erik King as Blade

Blade


Eric Brooks was born a vampire possessing all their strengths but none of their weaknesses. He has dedicated his life to destroying the occult world of vampires.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Ghost Rider

Ghost Rider


Johnny Blaze is Ghost Rider, former motorcycle stunt driver who now fights injustice as an undead vigilante. Ghost Rider is one of the most powerful beings on earth.

Johnny Depp as Doctor Strange

Image and video hosting by TinyPic


Dr Strange, once a gifted but egotistic surgeon who sought the The Ancient One to heal his wounded hands. Instead he became Master of the Mystic Arts and the first Sorcerer Supreme.

That is one bad ass cast Josh!

I think Casey would make a great Moon Knight!

Can't really argue with any of the others although I am more of a Jane fan than Stevenson.

LEEE777 - 1/20/2010, 4:11 PM
DOGS @ Me too, but i like STEVENSON, it was just the movie that stunk.

Personal preferences aside, nice cast Josh.

Casey Affleck as Moon Knight? Awesome...

JoshWilding - 1/20/2010, 5:09 PM
TANKGIRL: I think she could pull off Dagger! I agree that Theron would make a great Domino but I'm not sure whether I can see Jolie as Elektra...a few years ago maybe!

LEE: Thanks bud! Totally agree with you about Jude Law and "PAUL WALKER = Job center" makes me LMAO! :D I wasnt sure about Morgan as Ghost Rider but I didnt really want to cast Jensen Ackles in the part again and I can kind of see him in the role! (he'd be better than Nic Cage anyway I think, lol!)

MovieTheaterLad: Thanks - Paul Walker isnt a bad choice for GR but I really dont like the thought of Jude Law as DD! Michael C. Hall or Misha Collins are both perfect for the role IMO!

DOGS: Cheers mate! I'm glad you like my Moon Knight choice...I love the character (and especially his current comic book series written by the brilliant Gregg Hurwitz) but I've never really had anyone in mind who I think would be perfect for the role! Casey however might just be the best guy for the job! Lol, well I'm more of a Stevenson fan than Jane! However, both of them each brought some great things to the role!

Swiftsword777: Thanks! I'm not 100% sure about my Blade choice either, lol! However, I think that King has the right intensity needed to play the character well even if there may be slightly better choices out there!

TYLER: Thanks man! :) I cast Casey as Moon Knight a long time ago in my 205 character fan cast - I've never really thought of him in the role since but after realising what an awful choice the brilliant Nolan North (who I used in my Moon Knight fan cast!) would be to play the character I remembered him and I agree that he'd do a great job!

ANIL: Interesting choices there! Glad you like the rest though dude!
Batmanknight
Batmanknight - 1/20/2010, 7:23 PM
Cool cast bro. It's all good, besides the Ghost Rider pick. I think JDM is better for other movies and hes too old for Ghost Rider. I prefer Johnny Depp or Paul walker.

Terry Crews does have the look for Luke Cage but i dont know if he can seriously pull it off. everything else looks great. good cast Josh

THABATMAN @ TERRY CREWS can pull it off dude, he's my pick too, hell i saw a movie with him in yesterday, ya wont get better than him!

Great actor! What ya want a WWE guy?? : D

LEEE777 - 1/21/2010, 6:13 AM

THEHAWK
THEHAWK - 1/21/2010, 7:39 AM
Good cast, but I gotta say I hate your CLoak and Elektra picks man.

The rest are good, but these two just aren't up to par with your usual picks.

I just don't think Edi exibits the persona that cloak needs.

And Theron is perfect for Domino, so it would be a shame ot cast her as Elektra. I say Rohna mitra for Elektra.

Other tha that, i would see this movie
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 1/21/2010, 7:48 AM
ANIL: Thanks dude - I'd really like to see them both take a larger role in the MU...Mark Millar did a decent job by making then an important part of Cap's team in Civil War so hopefully Fraction including then in the X-Men will mean we'll see even more of them there and elsewhere! :)

OZY: No worries dude - you like more than half which is good, lol! :D As Punisher Warzone was such a flop you're more than likely right about Stevenson not coming back to the role unfortunately! (Still, at least he's playing Volstagg!)

BatmanKnight: Thanks man! I agree with you about JDM - though he'd make a good Ghost Rider, he'd make an amazing Thing or Hercules IMO!

THABATMAN: Thanks! I definitely think that Crews could pull it off! He can play funny and tough very well...qualities that are perfect for Luke Cage!

HAWK: Thanks man! :) Theron isnt exactly the best choice for Elektra, I agree, but I really cant think of anyone else who would work in the role (not a big fan of Mitra to be honest!) so for now she's my top pick, lol! Totally agree with you about Theron playing Domino!

After seeing Edi in House, I do actually think that he could pull of playing Cloak...however, my top choice would probably be Lee Thompson Young but as I've cast him in a few other roles in the past I wanted to keep this cast fresh by choosing someone new!

Oh, and I havent had a whole lot of time to read your latest fan fic but I'm about halfway through so I'll be sure to leave you a comment sometime today!

UPDATE: Added Doctor Strange as although he wasnt an officail part of the team, Dagger teamed with him to purge Cloak's corrupting darkness and rescue her teammates.

Josh that was awesome!!!! Very cool, I like that you kept Ray as the Punisher. I kept on staring at ScarJo pic for wayyyyyyyyyyy to long. LOL

If it was a couple of years ago Jason Scott Lee (what ever happened to him)who played in the Bruce Lee story The Dragon would have been perfect for Shang-ChI. everybody else was spot on......Kudos!!!!!!!!!

LEEE777 - 1/21/2010, 8:59 AM
JOSH @ well its a good way to get to the top again lol!

And yes to DEPP as STRANGE!!!

Joshw24- Great casting! I think that Terry Crews could pull of Cage. I like Erik King as Blade.

Deathwalker- Where did you get your avatar? I swear I wind staring at a page an extra ten minutes because of your avatar! More posts please!
DDD
DDD - 1/21/2010, 9:46 AM
Good cast Josh@!

JDM is an interesting choice for GR!

I'm OK with Hall as DD but as everyone
probably knows I like Misha Collins
for DD. But I'm pretty alone on that
notion I guess!

I have come to see that Depp would be
the perfect Dr. Strange, so I agree
with you and I'm sticking with him!
TheMyth
TheMyth - 1/21/2010, 12:07 PM
Joshw, I always dig your casts. Even picks I don't necessarily agree with, I can see why you've chosen the individual. Accolades to you for updating/releasing your casts with somewhat of a synopsis/description of who the character is being cast. I would still like to see more out of these fan-casts in those terms and appreciate the example your setting.

I think you have just cast the PERFECT Ghost Rider! I will certainly shed a tear when GR2 comes out with Nick Cage in the leading role. Tyler and I(and others I'm sure) have been tossing Crews name in the hat for Cage for some time. While I can't remember who conceived it (I know it wasn't me) it seems to great to pass up and it's good to see it catching on. Strangely, I like the Moon Knight pick. I just saw 'Gone Baby, Gone' and combining that with 'The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford' and little brother Casey certainly has his older brother out-shined. Some time in the gym and I think he can swing it.

I agree with TankGirl regarding Theron. If we abide by a rule of 1 character per actor for each publisher, I say Theron should be reserved especially for Domino. I think ThePhoenix would agree *wink*. Besides, Nothing can top Rhona Mitra for Elektra to me.

The Myth has spoken...

Great cast! I like Erik King as Blade--I really miss him on Dexter.
Dunno about Terry Crews as Luke Cage though. He's got the build, but I can't really take him all that seriously. When I look at that picture, I chuckle thinking about "White Chicks" and "Soul Plane". He could be a funny Luke Cage with a Sean William Scott--Iron Fist I guess.
CRITIC17
CRITIC17 - 1/21/2010, 1:03 PM
Love the cast josh!!!!! Perfect except for (sorry Myth), Ghost Rider. I just can't see JDM playing him. I perfer Jim Caviezel, but I might be able to warm up to JDM, but I'd rather see him as Vengeance. Thumbs up though!!!!
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 1/21/2010, 1:11 PM
teabag: Thanks bud! :)

DeathWalker: Cheers man! Damn, I love that avatar lol!

ElBicho: Thanks!

ironknight27: Thanks dude - I'm really glad you like my Blade choice as I wasnt sure whether people would be a fan of that one or not, lol!

DDD: Thanks bud! :) I know that it was you who first suggested Collins for DD (and I liked that idea so much I actually cast him in the role in my Daredevil fan cast!) However, after watching Hall in Six Feet Under and Dexter, I'm now more than convinced he is perfect for the role...if Collins were cast though I'd be just as happy!

TheMyth: Thanks a lot man - I appreciate your comment! :) In a lot of my early casts I used to put an explanation as to why I had put the actors in those roles...however, I found myself repeating myself so much in the comments section I dont tend to bother anymore! Even though the character bios I include are pretty short I like to think they're somewhat useful to anyone who isnt that familiar with the characters!

Hey, I'm really please that you like my Ghost Rider choice - there are a fair few other roles I'd like to see him in but I too think he'd do a great job in the role! Gone Baby Gone was actually what made me consider Affleck as Moon Knight! He would most definitely need to bulk up a bit but I think he'd do a great job! I actually really like Theron for Mystique as well but I cant disagree that she'd be ideal for Domino!

jusme6: Thanks! Same here! Dexter is still easily the best show on TV but its a pity not seeing King on the show! I get your point about Crews - he did a great job with a more serious role in Street Kings so I'm convinced that he could pull it off! Sean William Scott as Iron Fist? Damn, I actually wouldnt mind seeing that!

CRITIC: Thanks! Yeah, JDM probably isnt the best choice out there..! I'm not really all that familiar with Caviezel as an actor but he most definitely looks the part!!

chrismatj - 1/21/2010, 1:43 PM
I like your cast. The only ones I'm not sure of are your Luke Cage, Blade, and your Elektra. But I'm sure they'd do justice to a film.

For me, I'd pick Emmanuelle Vaugier as Elektra.

GOOD JOB THOUGH!!! :)

TheMyth
TheMyth - 1/21/2010, 1:47 PM
Jusme6, lol, you make me feel all exalted and shit. It would be cool if you could follow every post I ever make with that ;P Like my own hype-man.

TheCritic, Hey, to each his own ;)

Josh, always the class act ;) lol I understand, sometimes it's as if folks just brush over an article and comment superficially, but that article BulliedNerd posted about 10 days ago made a point with me amidst it's abrasiveness. I figure folks like you and Shaman and other premier casters could lead that charge into making these casts more believable. I am working on an X-Men fan cast that I hope will impress the sort of format I'd like to see. Not that I am any authority or even an editor of this site, I'd just like to see the quality of all contributions be as high as we can all get them. What pulled me into this cast immediately is that I've been breaking new ground on my MK2 fic.

Cool Cast!
Bret Harrison for Older Spider-Man!You made that one up!wtf man?You cant change the best choice! :)
Luke Cage is supposed to be good looking(No Gay).Terry Crews is ugly!
You should add Charlie Hunnam as Iron Fist and Scott Speedman as The Sentry!(I know Sentry is an Avenger,but they need a powerhouse!)
Perfect Ghost Rider!!!!!!

chrismatj: Thanks! :)

MYTH: "...premier casters" - I'm flattered dude, lol! :D I look forward to seeing what you come up with in your X-Men cast! I have a few more casts I want to do and then I think I've pretty much cast every single major Marvel characters so I intend to start casting story arcs instead (Astonishing X-Men, Brand New Day, Civil War for example) and I'm thinking of giving my casts a make over when I do that...not sure exactly what yet though!

NightAvenger4: Thanks dude! Lol, I did indeed come up with the idea but I'm just not sure he looks old enough for the current comic book Spider-Man..! He's still my #1 choice though!

joob234: That was awful news but he's thankfully on the road to recovery! He said that its in remission and that he should be fine!

OZY: Yeah, pretty awesome isnt it! :)

BigFoot: Thanks! I use "Paint" (found under Accessories) with Microsoft! I just copy and paste the images there, line them up and re-size them if I have to! Hope that helps!

HAWK: Will do!
