Daredevil going home to Marvel

[andrew8798]

So it appears that yesterday's speculation is true that Fox is letting the screen rights to Daredevil revert back to Marvel rather than either hurry a film into production to meet the Oct. 10 deadline or give up any Fantastic Four characters in order to extend that deadline.

Deadline and Variety both report that Fox is going to let the Daredevil rights lapse and just focus on rebooting Fantastic Four (with Chronicle's Josh Trank) and making X-Men/Wolverine movies. Daredevil is the second character to revert back to Marvel since Disney bought the company (Punisher being the first).

No word on whether director Joe Carnahan, who tweeted his pessimism last night about his hopes for rebooting Daredevil as a '70s-style crime thriller, will still get a chance to direct the film once it returns to Marvel after October 10.

Now if only Marvel would get the rest so we can get an Expendables-style Avengers movie.

I still wouldn't want everyone in a single movie.

fantastic news

I imagine Marvel will eventually get back every character except the Spider-Man and X-Men franchises and maybe the Fantastic Four franchise.

Thing is, how much crossover has Daeredevil done with the properties that are with Marvel now?


I mean when I think Daredevil crossovers I think FF and Spiderman. Now that he is seperate, how much crossover can he naturally do?

My cast for a Marvel Daredevil:
Daredevil-Mark Wahlberg
Foggy Nelson-Robin Williams
Kingpin-Gary Oldman
Karen Page-Amy Adams
Elektra-Natalie Portman
Bullseye-Seth Rogen

Yeah, I only really think of him crossing over with Spider-man which they still can't do.

He can crossover to Captain America. They've done that a few times. Then they can hang out with Darkhawk.

Hell they could do a cross over with Punisher. But even without crossovers I still want to see how well a Marvel made Daredevil film would do.

[Kevin Hamilton]

I don't care about crossovers really. As someone else mentioned, I don't even necessarily want or need to see all the characters in one big movie; even as much as I loved Avengers.

I'm just happy that Marvel has the rights to do a better Daredevil flick. I actually liked the first, but a better one would be nice, and obviously Fox wasn't gonna do another.

him and Black Widow used to be a couple back in the 70s. that's about it, though.

I wonder if they'll bring back Michael Clarke Duncan as Kingpin. He did do surprisingly well in that role and i cant see anyone in Hollywood who physically resembles kingpin (the imdb page claims they hired several wrestlers to try the role, but none of them worked out, so i doubt they'd give them another shot).

[Legion]

He wont get a new movie.

They might use him for a TV property though.
