Moon Knight Reportedly Being Developed For Netflix

It comes from El Maybe so it doesn't deserve its own thread yet, so I thought I'd post it here

Thats awesome, Moon Knight is perfectly suited for television. I’m really loving what Marvel’s TV side have been producing. I have a friend who went to NY comic con this year who got in to the Jessica Jones panel and he was raving about it, so I’m pretty damn excited for that too. I didn’t expect them to go that dark but he’s saying its darker than Daredevil.

^^ While Daredevil was more action-centric, Jessica Jones is more of a mystery/thriller piece, even with some horror elements to some viewers, it's the same dark and gritty world as DD but probably taken up a notch, but there will be plenty of action to come as we shot several fight scenes in later episodes. Prepare for a fun ride. Luke Cage will have some wanton destruction as well given what we shot the other night.

Thanks for the info, I’m officially hyped!

I'd love for Punisher and Elektra to get their own series, toss in a Ghost Rider, Blade, and Moon Knight; and I'll forever be in debt to Netflix.

I... I... Can't process this... Moon Knight is one of my absolute favorites and I was wondering why he was getting another solo series it would make some sense if it ties to the rumor.

Yeah man, Jessica Jones gets reeeeeeeeaaaaaal dark, especially when Purple Man is involved, he's just so messed up.

If they want to go dark, we need a punisher. Start with the Ennis run of Punisher Max, the first few pages, and if they can put in some compelling stories, just wow.

Dude, according to the reactions from the first episode. They're gonna go all the way with the **** that Purple Man does.

Yeah man, I cant wait.

I hope we get different Konshu aspects with Moon Knight. Especially Mr. Knight.

You ask me, I think it's not just a rumour. MK will be getting a show some time soon. Let's look at the "clues" thus far:

1) This is the only rumour that's still up in the air. The F4 one was shut down, and the Hulk one confirmed. So it says something when this sits somewhere in the middle of it all.

2) MARVEL's been trying to make an MK show happen since 2006, so it's definitely on their minds.

3) Warren Ellis has said time and time again, that the only reason why he was brought in to write the first 6 issues of the new vol, was to make MK a profitable IP. Or, as he put it, make him able to build upon. That sure sounds like something's being planned.

4) Axel Alonso (Marvel's EiC) has said a lot of times that they have some big things in store for him.

5) There was another rumour a while back, saying that Netflix's Phase 2 would be: Spider-Woman, Deathlok, Punisher, Blade and Moon Knight. Never confirmed, so it's still up in the air.

6) Stan Lee's legit account shared the news. Sure, it doesn't mean anything, but you've got to admit, it's something.

7) In TWS, during Sitwell's "interogattion" he mentions a man in Cairo. What else Marvel character could be in Cairo and be important enough for HYDRA to target along with Doctor Strange?

8) Now this is the one "piece of evidence" that made me think. See, in the end of Season of Avengers Assemble, there's a bit at the end, where Tony and Cap take a look at the screen, looking for potential recruits. What pics show up around the globe? Captain Marvel, Black Panther, Doctor Strange, Spider-Man and yes, Moon Knight. All of these characters are getting a movie sometime in the next few years, all except MK, so why put him in there? We all know that Marvel ties-in their cartoons/mobile games with their movies, so this is at least a hint. It doesn't make much sense, I mean, why add a B/C-Lister along with Spider-Man and the next movie stars if you're not going to do anything?

Now, does any of these bits and pieces of "news" mean that MK is getting a Netflix show 100%? Well, no, that's absurd. But it's being strongly hinted at if I say so myself. Besides, the character is suited for Netflix. Heck, they can even skip the costume and just make him wear his white suit (Mr. Knight) to save some cash. It's literally the one property that can be done both faitfully and "cheaply".

 

[GasparZizou]

Excellent post.

I love that Warren Ellis just went in and said "I'll make this sell again" and he did still the only MK volume I own.

I would like that they skipped directly to Mr. Knight as well.

Yeah, Warren's the guy you get when you want even an F-Lister to sell. Heck, they're doing that same thing with Karnak.

TBH, as a big MK fan, I also wouldn't mind him going straight to the suit. It looks great and the "see me coming" aesthetic is still there. What I really hope they do not gloss over though is his supernatural background. I want him to tangle with ghosts, the Werewolf By Night, and all sorts of weird cr@p. He needs that in order to come accross as a different character and not a Daredevil x Punisher mix. If done right, this could be an awesome 12-hour "movie". I really bloody hope this turns out to be true...

 

[GasparZizou]

Yeah they absolutely have to give him a just treatment, with all his mystic stuff, otherwise like you say he's gonna be the same as Daredevil.

But with that paranormal twist they can get something very original, like a mix of a cooler Arrow and light Constantine.

Well, to be fair, you don't need to do much to be a cooler Arrow, the show's a cheesy soap-opera with codenames. But yeah, MK needs all the occult elements, otherwise he's just "Marvel's Batman". Give him his arsenal, his "delusions", his religion, and throw him into this weird and scary world and you're set. This really has tons of potential if it does turn out to be true. Fingers crossed for this (and a Ghost Rider series along with Blade so that we can get the Midnight Sons).

 

[GasparZizou]

Yeah I was throwing a bone to Arrow Arrow will never be as cool as Spector.

Comic Book Ollie is a pretty interesting character, but TV show Ollie? Budget-Batman at best. But still, MK's, IMO at least, a much better and more complex character.

Completely agree, comics Green Arrow is much much more likable, the Arrow show is pretty insulting if you're a GA or a Batman fan.

Rah's Al Ghul? **** that!

As far as who's a better character, I do like MK better, but I think both characters are good in their own way, MK is more complex because he has suck a wacky back story.

I always liked the fact that CB Ollie was really involved in the commons and has highly politicized. It was an interesting trait that made him stand out from the usual "Batman Clones". As for the show, he's just a copy-cat, complete with good looks, pecs, and stolen material.

Between him and MK, I'm going to have to go with MK, but on the whole, I think Ollie's a unique character amongst the capes. Honestly, as a guy who's grown up on Marvel, I'm thinking of "leaving". I'm just not liking the direction they're taking, and I'm really intrigued by DC's present and past, since I've missed tons of classic material. I'll still be sticking with certain characters like Moon Knight and Black Panther, but, for the most part, I'm jumping ship. The moment they made Doctor Strange younger, sneaker-wearing and a playboy (read the new #1), is the moment I said "f@ck this *****".

As for what makes MK interesting, well, for me at least, it's his crazy backstory. He was essentially the bad-guy. He was a merc, killing for profit. And he wasn't an assassin, killing a target and that's it, he killed loads and loads of people. But he still found redemption in a way, and I like that. It's a nice metaphor for the prodigal son. I also really enjoy the supernatural/religious undertones.

 

[GasparZizou]

I've always been a DC guy, about 80/20, I have liked some stuff here and there from Marvel, but currently I'm just reading 2 or 3 Marvel series, they're just not good reads at all anymore, it's like reading the MCU writing-wise, ugh.

I am very much looking forward to Squadron Supreme though.
