When Marvel first partnered with Netflix to adapt their more mature and ground level characters, there was a whole laundry list of properties that people were hoping for and while the likes of Daredevil and Jessica Jones have proved massive hits, fans are still hoping to see some more left-of-field characters who weren't likely to see the silver screen.
One that comes up, again and again, is the Don Perlin and Doug Moench created Moon Knight - a character who Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn once pitched the studio but to no avail. Now, Steven S. DeKnight, who served as showrunner on Daredevil's first season, would like to succeed where Gunn failed.
Speaking recently to ComicBook.com about his desire to bring Moon Knight to series:.
“I never considered including Moon Knight in Daredevil. Somebody asked me on Twitter a while back if I would do Moon Knight and I’ve always been a huge Moon Knight fan and yeah, if I had the time in my schedule and the stars aligned, I’d love to do Moon Knight. I mean, I love the whole multiple personalities. Is he crazy? Is he not crazy? Has he really gotten these mystical powers? Are they supernatural or is it all in his head? I think it would make for a very, very interesting Marvel universe kind of Netflix show. I also hope they’ll expand and give him a shot sometime.”
Speaking at a press event for Avengers: Infinity War, Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige revealed that there is a plan for the character but it's likely to be anywhere between 5 - 15 years before we see them on screen. It's unclear whether DeKnight's recent interest in bringing the property to Netflix will change that at all.
Daredevil Season 3 is set to hit Netflix sometime in 2018 with second seasons of Luke Cage, Iron Fist and The Punisher all in various states of production.
