Moon Knight: Who is he and who can play him?
4. Luke Evans
People clamoring for Keanu Reeves will appreciate this pick. Like Reeves, Evan’s version of Moon Knight will be a seasoned hero. It’ll be no different from a hero like Punisher.
No, Luke Evans does not have the same cache as Reeves, who climbed back into the good graces of the media. But he’s talented in his own right.
As a matter of fact, there’s one film that aids in his ability to play a hero, Dracula Untold. Although the film bombed with critics, it was a commercial success. And Evans did receive praise for his portrayal of the cliché tragic hero.
Evans is versatile as an actor, having starred in dramas, comedies, and thrillers alike. In fact, he most recently starred alongside Adam Sandler in the Clue inspired film Murder Mystery.
However, it’s the psychological thriller, The Alienist, that saw Evans’ talents on full display. Moreover, the TNT series also serves as proof that television isn’t beneath him.
It also helps that Evans is part of the Disney family. He starred alongside Emma Watson and Dan Stevens in Beauty and the Beast. Watching him in those films, the series alludes his greatness.
It’s why he’d make for a great Moon Knight in a role that could catapult him into the minds of mainstream fans.
