Casting Call: Marvel Knights

Over the course of the last year (at least), I have had a higher interest in the street level Marvel Knight characters, especially Daredevil and Iron Fist. And while Daredevil had one go, I really want to see Marvel tackle movie adaptations of these characters.

Daredevil- Michael C. Hall


I love Dexter. I think Michael C. Hall is fantastic on it and has been getting robbed at the award shows. He is in good shape, his hair is more naturally red than Affleck's bad dye-job, he has plenty of acting chops as proven by Dexter, and he would probably come relatively cheap considering Marvel has had a hard time getting their high profile actors to stick around. Michael C. Hall has already gotten used to a dual performance as mild-mannered daytime and vigilante nighttime.

Iron Fist- Charlie Hunnam


Iron Fist has gone way beyond Heroes for Hire. There's no going back. If a movie were to be made I would want it based on the material in Immortal Iron Fist, rather than one half of heroes for hire. Charlie Hunnam is young, good looking, blonde, and has the perfect build for Iron Fist. I think he is a budding talent. I thought he was great in Sons of Anarchy and Green Street Hooligans, and has a lot of potential.

Luke Cage- Idris Elba


Elba has played plenty of street-wise tough guys, but his role in RocknRolla got him a chance to play a street-wise tough guys with actual wit and charm. He could easily hold his own movie. He is also a pretty big guy with a decent build that could easily get to Luke Cage size.

Misty Knight- Sydney Poitier


Misty would make a much better partner for Luke Cage than Iron Fist, considering IF's new scope. I tyhink Sydney is another up and comer. I thought she had a lot of charm and screen presence in Grindhouse, and should be getting better roles than a supporting character in a lame Knight Rider update. Plus she's smoking and has some impressive acting pedigree with having Sidney Potier as her father.
