Marvel Knights

Casting for street-level Marvel characters that would fit well under this mature-themed banner. This is casting for basically a slightly alternate MCU. Official castings are welcome and I will confirm (most) official castings, but will not likely downvote your own. Characters like the Ghost Riders, Blade, and Werewolf by Night are excluded as they will be reserved for Adventure into Fear. Additionally, all characters that are/were owned by Sony or Fox after 2015 are also excluded (Wolverine, Deadpool, Gambit, Spider-Man, Black Cat, Silver Sable, Solo, etc.) Teenage characters like Cloak and Dagger are also excluded and will be reserved for another banner.
