Marvel Entertainment has inked a deal with No Equal Entertainment, a Vancouver-based production company, to develop a live action TV series based on Moon Knight. Doug Moench and Don Perlin created the Marc Spector (aka Moon Knight) character and introduced him in Werewolf By Night #32 way back in 1975.



Moon Knight has experienced a comic book revival in 2006 thanks to novelist Charlie Huston and artist David Finch, who have collaborated on a new on-going Moon Knight comic series (see "Moon Knight No Longer a Mini"). The most recent issue of Moon Knight was the 28th most popular comic book released in September with North American sales of nearly 65,000 copies.



With the demise of the Blade TV series (see "Put a Stake in Him, He's Done"), it will be up to Moon Knight to plant the live action flag of second tier Marvel characters in the land of the small screen.

Although Blade the Series was a stinker I have hope for Mr. Spector.

Oh, here's the link http://www.icv2.com/articles/home/9529.html

    Hahaha

    one of my teachers was complaining about comic movies and how they make them for every random character nowadays

    he said, "What'll they do next, a Moon Knight movie?"

    edit: I should get him to say Deadman, so it'll be made

    Your teacher has no taste. Moon Knight is a badass of epic proportions.

    You do however, a Deadman movie would be awesome.

    He said he hasn't read comics in like 10 or 15 years or so, so that may make a difference

    Blade the Series was cancelled?

    Thank god.

    As for a Moon Knight series, it should be alright. So long as it isn't for Spike TV.

    He's a rich crime fighter that uses fear to strike down criminals and exact vengeance.

    They should've done a Luke Cage series instead.

    Unless you think characters are little more than their abilities, they're not the same at all. Marc Spector's got multiple personalities, and he's kind of a bastard too. Also, pagan.

    It's TV we're talking about. It's a rarity when characters in a show like this aren't one-dimensional jokes.

    Thanks for reminding me how ridiculously awful the latest Moon Knight relaunch was.

    In a show like this? When was the last time there was a show like this?

    Or are you referring to all live-action shows based on comic book properties?

    More or less. You have to admit that they've had a pretty abysmal track record.

    It's because he's basically a priest, and his god wants him to wear white. See also: crazy mooncopter.

    He wants to be seen because he wants the criminals to know what's coming.
