A couple of weeks ago it was rumoured that former Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe is said to be on Marvel’s radar for the title role in the Disney+ series Moon Knight, and now another name has been thrown into the mix courtesy of a report from Geekosity.
According to this latest rumour, The Mandalorian actor Pedro Pascal could be set to expand his partnership with Disney+, as he is said to be on the shortlist of actors under consideration for the role of Marc Spector, a former marine and mercenary who is imbued with supernatural abilities thanks to an encounter with the Egyptian deity Khonshu.
Meanwhile, another report (this time from Daniel Richtman) claims that the character of Dracula is also set to feature in the Moon Knight series in some capacity alongside the previously rumoured Jack Russell, a.k.a. Werewolf by Night.
While an appearance from Bram Stoker’s iconic character – who made his Marvel Comics debut in 1972’s The Tomb of Dracula #1 – is yet to be confirmed, we do know that vampires are coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe with the upcoming Blade movie, so it’s surely only a matter of time before the Count makes his way to the MCU too.
