EDITORIAL: Can The Marvel Knights Take the Cinematic Streets?

I think the best way to bring them to the movies would be to lose the super-power aspect on the majority of the characters.

Example: Daredevil is a great fighter/boxer. Although it can be cool, we don't need to see his "point-of-view" where sound waves are illuminating his vision. Not every superhero knows Daredevil is blind, in fact before he was outed, only a small handful knew he was Matt. A third person perspective would work wonders.

The Punisher is a psychopath and a recluse. Follow the shell casings to Frank Castle's next victims. The other vigilantes would treat him like Rorschach from Watchmen.

Blade.... doesn't really need to be too heavily involved, or at all really. He had his time already - more than the comic book character deserves, really. Involving Blade would bring in a whole 'nother supernatural element that would be fine if Doctor Strange and Ghost Rider were involved, but otherwise is best left away from Spider-man, Punisher, and Daredevil.

Luke Cage, Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Punisher, and Spider-man would work great together, I think. I love Moon Knight (Charlie Huston is a phenomenal writer) and if you cut Khonshu down to just being a schizophrenic fantasy of Marc's, then it would fit wonderfully.

I'm not saying cut all the supernatural portions out of Marvel Knights, but don't dive straight into it. If the more grounded characters are a success, then there will be a sequel. Star Daredevil for the first film, pass the torch onto Luke Cage in the second.

@Jollem: Respectfully, it just wouldn't work or feel right. Dark characters just aren't meant to be what their doing with The Avengers.
