Finally, the dark will arise with Moon Knight coming to the MCU, but more important than his debut is the actor who’ll play the hero.

D23 went dark to the pleasure of hardcore Marvel fans. Major news rocked the MCU with the announcement that Moon Knight would join the MCU via Disney Plus.

The official announcement has hardcore Marvel fans excited about the possibility. We all knew Moon Knight was coming. In fact, when Kevin Feige admitted to conversations with Keanu Reeves, Moon Knight was one of the first characters on the fans’ minds.

Of course, Reeves playing Moon Knight is exciting. However, it’s hard to imagine Reeves making his MCU debut on the streaming service series. But for the miniseries, there a couple of possibilities.

Moon Knight’s series could be an MCU prequel that leads to his big-screen MCU debut. Or it could be cemented in the timeline we’ve known for a decade.

Either way, we’d all love to see Keanu Reeves play Moon Knight, but he isn’t the only actor that can pull off the psychologically broken hero. To understand how this list works you should know who Moon Knight it.

Too often, Moon Knight often gets compared to Batman. While it’s easy to make that comparison, thanks to their ominous tone that looms over their respective comics, that’s where it stops.
