Before he took over the directing reins of the Pacific Rim franchise from Guillermo del Toro, Pacific Rim Uprising helmer Steven S. DeKnight served as the showrunner on the first season of Marvel-Netflix's Daredevil. Although he's no longer a part of the Netflix MCU, DeKnight told me during a recent phone interview that there's another Marvel character he would like to adapt for them if the opportunity ever arose.

"I wouldn’t mind taking a crack at Moon Knight at some point," DeKnight said, citing his slate of upcoming projects as the only big impediment to him returning to the Marvel-Netflix fold one day."There are so many characters that I love in the Marvel universe. Really, for me, it would be about schedule. My schedule these days, as you imagine, is a little tight. God, you know, when I signed onto Daredevil, I expressed an interest in Iron Fist and the Punisher, which I both loved. I’d love to see Moon Knight get a little bit of love. Great, great character."Moon Knight is also known as Marc Spector, a former CIA operative-turned-mercenary who was mystically resurrected by the ancient Egyptian moon god Khonshu to serve as his agent of vengeance. Already a skilled fighter before his encounter with Khonshu, Spector gains enhanced strength, endurances and reflexes come nighttime -- his powers reach their full potential when the moon is full -- and he also sometimes has prophetic visions. Moon Knight has crossed paths with many Marvel characters over the years, including Werewolf by Night, Spider-Man, and the Defenders.DeKnight said he's seen all of the Marvel-Netflix series since his run on Daredevil and remains a fan of the company. "I’ve watched them all. I mean, I loved my time there. It was interesting, I actually came into season one of Daredevil to help out my old buddies, Drew Goddard and Jeph Loeb," DeKnight recalled."I went into that season one of Daredevil with the understanding I could only be there for a year, because I was going off to do this feature. And we were actually in the process of putting that feature together when Mary [Parent, Legendary Entertainment Vice Chairman of Worldwide Production] surprised me with the notion of directing Pacific Rim 2 instead, which I was delighted for."He added, "I watch all of the Marvel Netflix shows. I love the guys at Marvel, I love the people at Netflix, and I think there are some fantastic shows. Especially Luke Cage, which I really, really enjoyed."There were r umors back in 2015 that Netflix was developing a Moon Knight series , but it's been radio silence on that front since. Those rumors were also before Disney announced it was launching its own streaming service and would host all of its Marvel streaming content exclusively on that service in 2019. We'll see what the future might hold for Moon Knight or if Steven DeKnight would be involved in any potential live-action show at that time.DeKnight's feature film directing debut, Pacific Rim Uprising , is now in theaters.
