Ross Marquand has proved to be a huge favourite of many a genre fan as he’s become a pivotal part of AMC’s The Walking Dead. And now, the hugely talented Marquand has his eyes on a certain Marvel superhero.

In case you weren’t aware, Marquand has actually already appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as he portrayed the Red Skull in Avengers: Infinity War. But now, he’s thrown his hat into the ring for Moon Knight.

When asked about what superhero he’d like to play during his ComiCONN appearance, Marquand explained (via SyFy), “Oh yes, Moon Knight! It’s tough because a lot of my friends have said Moon Knight is essentially just Marvel’s answer to Batman, but I don’t agree with that. I agree that there are similarities, but Moon Knight was a mercenary – kind of a gun for hire who didn’t really have much regard for people before he had his moment of awakening, I guess. And Bruce was always a good guy – even as a kid, he was torn by revenge, but he wasn’t this bloodthirsty killer like Moon Knight was. So I think that, coupled with what they’ve been doing the last 15 years with the character – going into the dissociative identity disorder, really calling in to question if everything happening is all in his head, is he actually a vigilante killer or did he die in Egypt? It brings up a slew of questions, and that to me has never really been delved into in any comic book character before – the idea of, is any of this actually happening? Is he crazy? Is he killing good people? Is he actually dead in Egypt? Those are such amazing questions and I don’t feel like any comic book series before or since has really tapped into that. So for me, playing a crazy superhero would be awesome. So Moon Knight, Moon Knight for sure.”

As alluded to, Moon Knight has indeed undergone some changes over the past decade or so; most notably donning a white suit and mask combo after Warren Ellis gave the character a refresh a few years ago.

Whether anything ever comes of this, we’ll have to wait and see. Given Marvel Studios’ propensity to continually expand their shared cinematic realm, though, it wouldn’t be a major surprise to see Moon Knight appear at some point down the line. Similarly, the character may even be a better fit for the small-screen, ala Marvel’s Netflix-exclusive shows.

Expect more on all of this if and when it develops further.
