It looks likeMarvelStudios may have found its Moon Knight for the character’s Disney+ series and it is none other than Harry Potter himself Daniel Radcliffe.
The upcoming Disney+ Marvel shows have recently been gathering some attention with concept art being released for the first set of shows announced and the writers being announced forMs. Marvel,She-Hulk, andMoon Knight, however, the latter series in particular has been hotly anticipated since way back when the Netflix Marvel shows were first announced as fans were unhappy that Marvel’s answer toDC’s Dark Knight did not make the cut in favor of the likes ofIron Fist.
However, since the announcement thatMoon Knightwould be one of several fan-favorite Marvel characters to get their own streaming service shows, fans are looking forward to seeing the former CIA agent turned vigilante with multiple personality disorder finally make his debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
While the series is currently only under order status, the execs at Marvel Studios seem to be setting their sights on casting the titular hero Marc Spector and their prime candidate is apparently Daniel Radcliffe.

Radcliffe was a child star who shot to fame as the titular wizard in theHarry Potterfilm series based on the books of author J.K. Rowling. Since the end of his stint at Hogwarts in 2011, the actor has appeared in a variety of movie and theater productions as well as some television work. But the one role Radcliffe has not been sorted into yet is the comic-book genre.
This could all soon change as, according to Daniel Richtman’sPatreon, Radcliffe is one of the names in the mix for Moon Knight.
In the comics, Moon Knight’s multiple personality disorder pushes the vigilante’s mind into four separate personas. An actor of Radcliffe’s caliber, known for being a part of more outlandish projects such asHornsandSwiss Army Manwhile also portraying serious oddballs in movies such asVictor FrankenstienandNow You See Me 2, should be able to accurately and appropriately portray such a character just as James McAvoy did inSplitand Andy Serkis did as Gollum/Sméagol.
While Radcliffe’s casting has no official backing to it, the formerHarry Potterstar being a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe would please a whole host of fans.
Jeremy Slater has signed on as head writer forMoon Knight.
Could Daniel Radcliffe be a good choice for Moon Knight?
