American Horror Story’s Lily Rabe would be perfect as Marvel’s Moonstone
By Mark Lynch
Can Lily Rabe be an action star?
The only question may be whether or not she can be an action star. Playing Moonstone in the MCU means she’ll have to have more than a few big-time fights, which would most likely include one against Captain Marvel. She’s had different kinds of fights during American Horror Story but nothing on the level of a galactic level battle. Moonstone isn’t going to be doing backflips or anything like that. Nonetheless, even a punch needs to look good. The good thing is physical fights aren’t the only way to get what she wants Moonstone.
Karen Sofen is perfectly fine with getting physical. However, her mind games can be just as dangerous. As a member of Norman Osborn’s Thunderbolts and Dark Avengers, we’ve seen her put innocent people and her teammates in harm’s way. This is when she was their leader. One time she told her team to attack for her because she was planning on having sex with someone. She didn’t want to get a bruise on her face. She’s also used sex as a means of manipulation, as well. If it gets her what she needs, she’s all for it.

Lily Rabe would be a fantastic choice to play Moonstone or just Karen Sofen in general. On top of everything that was mentioned, Rabe was also nominated for a Tony for playing Portia in The Merchant of Venice and other awards for her role in American Horror Story, as well, proving that she has been recognized for her skill. Since Marvel Studios tends to pick actors who aren’t the Leonardo DiCaprio’s and Julia Roberts’ of the world, this could actually happen. Here’s hoping.
