RUMOR MILL: Marvel Studios Interested In Daveed Diggs And Nick Kroll For Lead Role In MOON KNIGHT

Just like the leads in Ms. Marvel and She-Hulk, fans are desperate to know who will ultimately take on the title role in Moon Knight. There are plenty of conflicting rumours and theories doing the rounds online, but the hope is that we'll find out who is playing the unhinged Marc Spector at some point this year.

Time will tell on that front, of course, but the plan is for cameras to start rolling in early 2021. 

That means Marvel Studios is well on the way to casting Moon Knight, and it's entirely possible they've already done so. According to Murphy's Multiverse, two actors to have been considered are Daveed Diggs and Nick Kroll. There's no word on whether they've actually met with Kevin Feige and company, but it sounds like there's some definite interest there. 

Diggs is perhaps best known for his work in Hamilton, while he also plays the lead in TNT's Snowpiercer. Kroll, meanwhile, is a comedic actor who showed some serious dramatic chops in Operation Finale. They're both Jewish, and that lines up with what we've heard about Marvel's plans for the hero.

Diggs definitely feels like the stronger choice of the two, but even if that doesn't work out, it's clear now that Marvel Studios is thinking outside the box when it comes to casting their Moon Knight. 

What do you guys think?

Daveed Diggs is a DAMN good actor, and would [frick]ing rule as Moon Knight. MVP of Hamilton and great in Blindspotting too.
Nick Kroll as Moon Knight would completely tank my hype in this project though.

Yeah, didn't realize I clipped a deleted scene that is definitely not funny. Haha. He is hilarious though - and his "Douche" radio DJ gets me howling.

I know next to nothing about Moon Knight - but I can already see Daveed being a better fit than Kroll. Either way - it will probably be a really funny show.

It might be nice to have Daveed Diggs as Moon Knight!

Both are pretty inspired choices. I can totally see Kroll nailing the multiple personalities with his background. Daveed is a dynamic performer though. Dunno is Snowpiercer is still going strong, but his schedule is the only reason i can see him not doing this.

Daveed Diggs would be a sick choice actually. I'm kinda liking Oliver Jackson Cohen too after watching Bly Manor but he's so popular now that I wonder if he'll actually get it.

[frick] Daveed Diggs would be a freakin' SWEET Moon Knight.

I'm on the Jackson-Cohen train, but I would NOT be upset with Diggs as my backup choice. He's awesome in Snowpiercer.
