Spector, the alter ego of Moon Knight, came into contact with the spirit of the ancient moon god, Khonshu, during an archaeological dig. Aside from his heroics as Moon Knight, Spector also suffers from multiple personality disorder, having created the aliases of Steven Grant and Jack Lockley as well.

Daniel Radcliffe has made a name for himself within both the film and TV landscapes, with his breakthrough role being his portrayal of the titular character in the Harry Potter franchise (in case you weren’t aware). Since the conclusion of the Potter series, Radcliffe has ventured into other roles spanning various genres. Some of his standout performances have come from films like The Woman in Black and Imperium, along with the TBS anthology series Miracle Workers.

Given his diverse body of work, there’s no doubt Radcliffe has the acting chops for the part. His casting would also line up with Marvel’s desire to cast an actor of Jewish descent, as Spector is the son of a Jewish-American rabbi. Watching him tackle the mental health aspects of the character could also be interesting.

Official casting news for Moon Knight is unlikely to happen anytime soon but, with one name possibly in the mix, the process could start very soon.
