Before the cast, I'd like to say 2 things. First, I chose to forgo my usual Producer section due to the fact it's Marvel Studio related, basically any Producers would be the standard Marvel/Disney Crew. Second, I know there will be a few choices that will immediately kill the cast for anybody, I understand that but out of any and all respect for Fan Casting, I'd appreciate it if you looked over the entire cast and gave an opinion instead of stopping at the first "Bad/Wrong" choice you come across. That said, I hope you enjoy the cast.
Production Designer: Production Designer: a production designer or P.D is the person responsible for the overall look of a filmed event such as films, TV programs, video games, music videos or adverts. Production designers have one of the key creative roles in the creation of motion pictures and television. Working directly with the director and producer, they must select the settings and style to visually tell the story.
Arthur Max [Notable Works: Gladiator, American Gangster, Prometheus]: A Wonderful P.D. He's been able to grasp the feel and look of entire worlds, cities, and foreign structures. To imagine his work with the tombs of Khonshu and the dark tones of New York City. I think he could capture the very dark realm of Moon Knight.
Costume Designer: A costume designer is a person who designs costumes for a film or stage production. The role of the costume designer is to create the characters and balance the scenes with texture and color, etc.The costume designer works alongside the director, scenic, lighting designer, sound designer, and other creative personnel. The costume designer may also collaborate with hair stylist, wig master, or makeup artist. In European theatre, the role is different, as the theatre designer usually designs both costume and scenic elements.
Michael Wilkinson [Notable Works: 300, Man of Steel, TRON: Legacy]: He's crafted for some of the most wonderfully designed costumes, he genially gets the feel of a Comic Book and translates them well onto a theatrical format. He knows what to do to get a person to strongly resemble the comic character while introducing their iconic qualities.
Director of Photography: A cinematographer (usually credited with the title director of photography, or DP) is the chief over the camera and lighting crews working on a film and responsible for achieving artistic and technical decisions related to the image. The study and practice of this field is referred to as cinematography.
Dante Spinotti [Notable Works: Red Dragon, Manhunter, L.A. Confidential]: Dante is perfect at what he does. His work on Red Dragon is just as extraordinary and stylized as his work on the original adaptation Manhunter, they both are world's apart and with the amount of talent he really has he could be perfect at getting the look of Moon Knight's world through a camera.
Film Editor: Film editing is part of the creative post-production process of filmmaking. The term film editing is derived from the traditional process of working with film, but now it increasingly involves the use of digital technology.
Craig McKay [Notable Works: The Silence Of The Lambs, K-Pax, Awake]: I felt the best reason to explain why I chose Craig, is his phenomenal work in The Silence of The Lambs. He masterfully put the film together out of what was shot, and what aided the film in it's tone, and assists in the performances given by the films stars. If there is an Editor who could enhance the film it would be Craig, he would enhance a Moon Knight Film even more so.
Composer: A film score (also sometimes called film music, background music, or incidental music) is original music written specifically to accompany a film. The score forms part of the film's soundtrack, which also usually includes dialogue and sound effects, and comprises a number of orchestral, instrumental or choral pieces called cues which are timed to begin and end at specific points during the film in order to enhance the dramatic narrative and the emotional impact of the scene in question.
Graeme Revell [Notable Works: The Crow, Spawn, Sin City]: Graeme has done some of the most dynamic and iconic work in his compositions. He's scored The likes of The Crow and Sin City. He's also composed for Marvel before in "Daredevil". So he's done the superhero genre for quite a while. I love his music, it's deep, heartwarming, dark, and iconic. There are a few composers who I want to compose Moon Knight and Graeme is one of them.
Screenwriter: A screenplay or script is a written work by screenwriters for a film, video game or television program. These screenplays can be original works or adaptations from existing pieces of writing. In them, the movement, actions, expression, and dialogues of the characters are also narrated. A play for television is also known as a teleplay.
Alex Proyas [Notable Works {As A Screenwriter}: Gods of Egypt, Garage Days, Dark City] & Andrew Kevin Walker [Notable Works: Se7en, Sleepy Hollow, The Wolfman]: Alex Proyas, is an American/Egyptian screenwriter and director, Who i chose for this project, not because his egyptian ties, but because his interest in Egypt and his immense screen writing talent. Having penned films the likes of Dark City, I felt he would have a proper touch for Moon Knight, the Addition of "Se7en" Writer Andrew Kevin Walker is in largely that he has written dark films and has really captured the essence of what would make a fantastic Moon Knight film. Together with Proyas they would deliver the definitive Moon Knight.
Director: Directors are responsible for overseeing creative aspects of a film under the overall control of the film producer. They often develop the vision for a film and carry out the vision, deciding how the film should look, in other words they make their vision come to life. They are responsible for turning the script into a sequence of shots. They also direct what tone it should have and what an audience should gain from the cinematic experience. Film directors are responsible for deciding camera angles, lens effects and lighting with the help of the cinematographer and set design with the production designer. They will often take part in hiring the cast and key crew members. They coordinate the actors' moves, or blocking and also may be involved in the writing, financing and editing of a film.
Alex Proyas [Notable Works {As A Director}: Dark City, The Crow, I Robot]: His work as a director is clearly going to be an element of his time as a filmmaker that will outlive him. He's gained legend status with the proper adaptations of 'The Crow', and Isaac Asimov's 'I, Robot'. The wonderful work he's done on those films, as well as his own all-original work 'Dark City'. If anyone could direct a wonderful adaptation of Moon Knight, Alex Proyas is the man.
Khonshu [Height: Variable, Age: Unknown]: Khonshu is the Egyptian God of Vengeance; he resurrected Marc Spector and blessed him with superhuman powers and abilities under the Moon.
Arnold Vosloo [Height: 6' 2", Age: 51, Notable Works: The Mummy, Darkman 2: Die Darkman Die, G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra]: I am a fan of Arnold as an actor. He's a smart one and does a lot of fun projects. What brought me to choose him as Khonshu is that 20 years ago, heck I'd even say 10 years ago he'd have been perfect for Moon Knight, but now he's an actor who's, in all honesty, a bit aged for that, and personally I think he'd rock as Khonshu. He's got the right voice and can still do anything Physical should the role call for it.
Marc Spector/Moon Knight [Height: 6' 2", Age: 30's]: Moon Knight, Marc Spector, Steven Grant, 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", and perform various acts of vengeance and justice on unjust mortals.
Joel Kinnaman [Height: 6' 2", Age: 34, Notable Works: Easy Money, The Killing, Robocop]: Born to an American father, and a Swedish/Jewish Mother. He's an actor who's best known for the AMC Adaptation of the Killing, based on a Swedish television series. He plays a tough Detective trying to solve the Rosie Larson murder. He's really shown his stripes as an actor. He has proven strength and talent to generated wonderful performances that would fit perfectly with a portrayal of Moon Knight. He has a very Transformable face, something that changes looks from handsome to scraggly, to clean and upstanding in appearance. He would without a doubt be able to play and visually separate himself through the various identities taken by Marc. Joel would be perfect for Moon Knight.
Dr. Peter Alraune [Height: 5' 8" {Estimate}, Age: 60's-70's]: Dr Peter Alraune was the father of Marlene Alraune and an architect. He was murdered on a business trip by Raoul Bushman, after which mercenary Marc Spector attempted to avenge him!
Jon Lithgow [Height: 6' 4", Age: 68, Notable Works: Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Shrek, Raising Cain]: Jon is an intelligent and resourceful actor. He has played many many characters of a great intellect. He was really my first choice for the role. He's a person I love to cast, but I only cast him when he's perfect for a role.
Marlene Alraune [Height:5' 8", Age: 30's]: Marlene's father Dr. Peter Alraune was murdered by mercenary Raoul Bushman while they were in Sudan, Marc Spector another mercenary saved Marlene from Bushman but Bushman left Specter to die in the desert. The workers of Dr. Alraune took Spector's inert body to the tomb of Pharaoh Seti lll. Spector revived and then he and Marlene went back to the US where Spector became the crime fighter Moon Knight and then she became his girlfriend and trusted ally. Marlene has a degree in art history. Under Moon Knight she gained some experience as a covert operative. She is a moderately skilled hand-in-hand combatant.
Lauren Cohan [Height: 5' 8", Age: 32, Notable Works: Supernatural, The Walking Dead, Casanova]: Lauren is such a lovely and wonderful actress. I wanted a strong and very well defined actress for Marlene. With Lauren it was an amazing sense of clarity that came to the idea. It became very clear she was the right person for the role and that she would be so perfect.
Jean-Paul DuChamp/Frenchie [Height: 6' 3", Age: 30's-40's]: Jean-Paul "Frenchie" DuChamp was working as a Soldier of Fortune to try and forget about a past relationship. During his time in Africa, he met, and became friends with, fellow Soldier of Fortune,Marc Spector. Frenchie worked mainly as a pilot for the missions. Soon after, he met Raoul Bushmanand the three of them worked together on many missions. Frenchie helped Marc fight against Bushman, and the two escaped from Africa to begin life again in America.
Simon Pegg [Height: 5' 10", Age: 44m Notable Works: Hot Fuzz, Mob City, Shaun of the Dead]: Yeah I get that Pegg is kinda the wrong height, but for the type of role I really Envision Frenchi being, Pegg is the perfect actor. I think he'd might have trouble with the accent but I trust him as an actor to be able to get to it. He's good with comic reliefe and logically i think that's what would happen to Frenchie as a character.
Nedda [Height: 5' 6" {estimated}, Age: 60's-70's]: Nedda is Marc Spector's housekeeper, or more specifically, Steven Grant's (Marc's wealthy alias). With Samuels, the butler, they keep Marc's mansion in order while he is away doing his Moon Knight duties. Both Nedda and Samuels stood by Marc during his breakdown, and were more than happy when he came back around.
Susan Sarandon [Height: 5' 7", Age: 67, Notable Works: Thelma & Luoise, Bull Durham, The Big Wedding]: Susan is a wonderful actress. A legendary one. She was really the only one i felt would work as Nedda. I think she can bring some aged and noble advice and quality to her performance. I think it would be great to see her as Nedda and to work in a Moon Knight Film.
Samuels [Height: 6' 2" {Estimated}, Age: 60's-70's]:Samuels works as the butler and personal valet of Marc Spector. Like his co-worker, Nedda, Samuels is one of the few people aware of Marc's dual identity as Moon Knight.
Timothy Dalton [Height: 6' 2", Age: 69, Notable Works: Flash Gordon, The Living Daylights, License To Kill]: I get that at this point Dalton is thought of for pretty much very butler in the history of the fiction realm. And yeah most of, if not all of them are his wheelhouse, I feel that Dalton is a capable actor, and it fits his movements as an actor.
Detective Flint [Height: 6' 2" {Estimated}, Age: 40's-50's]: Samuels works as the butler and personal valet of Marc Spector. Like his co-worker, Nedda, Samuels is one of the few people aware of Marc's dual identity as Moon Knight.
Mark Strong [Height: 6' 2", Age: 50, Notable Works: Kick-Ass, Green Lantern, Sherlock Holmes]: Mark is a wonderful actor, who takes the job he believes in. Some might believe this role is too small for him, but I think it suits him very well. He's a strong performer and this is one that the roles needs. He is in all manners the right guy for the job.
Bertrand Crawley [Height: 6' 2 "{Estimated}, Age: 60's-70's]: A man whom originally only knew Marc Spector as his Jake Lockley guise. He frequents Gena's Diner. He will constantly use the same tea-bag for weeks until Gena gets fed up of seeing it and gives him another one. He may seem like only a simple homeless man, but Bertrand Crawley often uses sophisticated words in his speech and is quite the gentleman. These mannerisms are because of his life before he was homeless. He is also very skilled in gathering information of what's happening on the streets and its because of this he is a valuable asset of Moon Knight's.
Peter Fonda [Height: 6' 2 1/2", Age: 74, Notable Works: Easy Rider, Ghost Rider, Escape From L.A.]: Honestly I know he was in one Marvel movie, I know he played Mephisto but that means jack. He's an amazing actor, he does fantastic work, and would be perfect for this role. He has Bert's feel, swag, and overall heart to him. He would be perfect.
Gena Landers [Height: 5' 6" {Estimated}, Age: 60's]: Gina works in a diner and is one of Jake Lockely's (Moon Knight) street contacts.
C.C. Pounder [Height: 5' 6", Age: 61, Notable Works: The Shield, Justice League Unlimited, Superman Batman: Public Enemies]: She's an actress who's extremely familiar with the comic book genre. To comic fans she's best known as the voice of Amanda Waller, I best knew her as Captain, formerly Detective Claudette Wyms on The Shield. She's played a valley of dramatic television and film roles and honestly she is just perfect for this role. She's a strong and powerful actress. She would be perfect for this role.
Raul Bushman [Height: 6' 2", Age: 40's]: Raoul Bushman is an expert with various weapons, and at hand-to-hand combat. His hand-to-hand is good enough that he poses a threat to Moon Knight. His teeth have also been altered, so that they are razor sharp. Bushman sometimes uses these teeth to kill people, by biting their throats.
Michael K Williams [Height: 5' 11", Age: 47, Notable Works: The Wire, 12 Years A Slave, Snitch]: Michael is a wonderful actor. He's got a sense of strength to him that would really show an edge for the role. There's no doubt he could play this role perfectly. He's got the strength and the talent to play Moon Knight's Nemesis.
Jimmy Crawley [Height: 6' 0" {Estimated}, Age: 40's]: Jimmy began slashing homeless people in an effort to find his father. He then came up with the name slasher after killing a local bum named Reno Eddie. During the second night he killed another bum, and came across Betrand (his father who he didn't know who he was at the time). Betrand tried to escape, but was slashed accross the forearm. While he was recovering he was taking in by Moon Knight, and he told him who he was an what happened. One week later Moon Knight had came up with a plan, and disguised himself as a bum. He then surprised Slasher who tried to escape. After a short fight Moon Knight eventually won.
Damien Lewis [Height: 6' 1", Age: 43, Notable Works: Die Another Day, band of Brothers, Homeland]: Looks nothing like Pete Fonda, but he is a top notch performer none the less and he would absolutely own the role without any problems. I think he'd have a great dynamic
Carson Knowles/Black Spectre [Height: 6' 0", Age: 30's-40's]: One of Moon Knight's old nemesis. Carson Knowles donned the armor of the Black Spectre as a homage to Moon Knight, though he aimed for evil rather than good and made several attempts to control the City of New York.
Colin Farrell [Height: 5' 10", Age: 37, Notable Works: In Bruges, Dead Man Down, Total Recall]: I like Colin, I find that when he's properly directed he gives dynamic performances. Colin is a strong actor and I think this would leave a better taste in fan's mouth than his time as Bullseye. He would do pretty damn well as Black Spectre.
Robert Markham/Morpheus [Height: 6' 0" {Estimated}, Age: 40's]: Robert Markham had a rare viral infection that affected his DNA. He approached Dr. Peter Alraune (father of Marlene Alraune) who gave him an untested experimental drug. This drug had severe side effects in that Robert was grotesquely transformed into the physical appearance he has now and that he can never sleep. going by the name of Morpheus.
Michael Sheen [Height: 5' 9", Age: 45, Notable Works: TRON: Legacy, Midnight in Paris, Underworld: Rise of the Lycans]: Michael is an accomplished and wonderful actor. He was the first person to come to mind. He's great performer who does wonderful whenever he appears on screen. There is no doubt he would be perfect for the role.
Anton Mogart/Midnight Man [Height: 6' 0" {Estimated}, Age: 40's]: Nothing is known about Midnight Man's past before he started stealing great works of art, jewels and such promptly at midnight. He lived in an opulent New Jersey mansion and stole these things simply to own them not for the money. He is stopped in this by Moon Knight and falls into the river presumed drowned.
Jason Flemyng [Height: 6' 1", Age: 47, Notable Works: X-Men First Class, Snatch, Lock, Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels]: I think he would be perfect for the role of a villain like Midnight Man. He's an accomplished actor and would do an amazing job. Jason is a strong actor and would absolutely own this role without any trouble or doubts. He is perfect for the role.
Tony Masters/Taskmaster [Height: 6' 2", Age: 40's]: Tony Masters gained an ability known as "photographic reflexes" during a mission as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent This ability enabled him to watch another person's physical movements and duplicate them without any practice, no matter how complex. It was only limited by the fact that the memories he gained by watching others overwrote his personal memories. He was previously a naturally gifted athlete who trained himself to superb physical condition. He committed the fighting styles of Captain America, Black Panther, Daredevil, Elektra, Hawkeye, Punisher, Tigra, USAgent, Spider-Man and Wolverine to memory, as well as many others.
Clive Owen [Height: 6' 2", Age: 49, Notable Works: Shoot 'Em Up, The Bourne Identity, Sin City]: I find Clive to be a great actor. He really should have been Bond, but I think he works wonderfully for this role. He's done high-octane action before, and he's done it pretty damn well. He's a strong actor and could really harness the name Taskmaster.
Randall Spector/Shadowknight [Height: 6' 0", Age: 30's]: Randall Spector is the younger brother of Marc Spector, Moon Knight. He is psychotic believing himself to be the vessel of Khonshu. He took on the Name Shadow Knight
Matthew Goode [Height: 6' 2", Age: 35, Notable Works: Watchmen, Stoker, Chasing Liberty]: He gave a brilliant performance in Watchmen, and he came out to be the best choice to play Moon Knight's brother. No one can doubt that he's a wonderful actor. He would, with no doubt, be able to match my Moon Knight Choice and really give for a dynamic and much wanted showdown. Matt is perfect for the job.
