Daredevil reboot: official discussion thread - Part 2

[cronosred]

If Fox is intent on keeping the rights they will find another director the same way they did with X-Men 3.

 

[Saitou Hajime]

Getting a new director is easy. Getting anything done is what they should concern themselves with.

 

[PSYLENTGuardian]

It's so got a long wait. The article mentioned things coming together after 2014s first class sequel. So most likely 2015

Sheesh, that's quite the wait. As long as it's worth it. Same for the First Class sequel.

i dont mind i think slade is a very solid director but i think fox can do better

with guys like vaughn and mangold doing fox comic book movies and all

Joe Carnahan would be good with the grey and narc under his belt

 

[marvelrobbins]

I am not surprised by this news.However people need to realize the following
A:Marvel/Disney will not do a r rated version and B:It could be years after rights
reverted for this to get made.Marvel studios only cares about Avengers related characters.

 

[Hypestyle]

in light of this recent news, Disney should be aggressive and offer to pay Fox for the DD rights.. get it over with, save DD for a cameo in a future Marvel film, as an attorney for the hero at hand when they get sued for property damages (Stark, Banner, etc.)

 

[Art Damage]

It would be incredible if Nicolas Winding Refn were to direct the reboot. Hell, even reunite him again with Ryan Gosling and give him the lead.

 

[Project862006]

how about rian johnson!!!

 

[babykhris]

Is Daredevil even worth making without the Kingpin? (Avi Arad said SONY loaned him to FOX for 1st film.) I doubt SONY would loan him out again.

 

[Raiden]

Looks like Marvel actually has a shot in getting DD rights back, since the director has dropped out and according to the article, Fox needs to get the production ready by Fall or the rights will be reverted back to Marvel. However, I have a feeling that Fox won't give it up so easily, and they might just stick a quick replacement in for the reboot, like they did with Brett Ratner in X3, rather than risking losing the rights.

I'm definitely not very happy about it if Fox still manages to keep DD by sneaking in a movie in the 11th Hour; it goes to show that they were never committed in the first place, and just did the movie to hold on to the rights.

 

[Hypestyle]

-- my suggestion is for Disney to just be assertive and pay off Fox for the DD rights..

as far as a new movie, I want to see Matt Murdock as an attorney defending one of the other heroes who is framed.. White Tiger, maybe..

While I'd love this too...Disney would probably dislike it because it sets a bad precedent. If this were the last loaned franchise out there then they would but they can't risk it now with Spider-Man, X-Men, Fantastic Four, and Ghost Rider still on the line.

I hope this production falls apart, Fantastic Four too, and the rights revert back.

Well, Disney did pay Paramount off for the Avengers and its associative characters to get them back, although it is mostly for distribution rights since Marvel Studios and not Paramount was the one that was responsible for the movies in MCU. But Fox not only gets to distribute but also calls the shots on their Marvel movies, so it is alot trickier to pull off, not to mention that Iger (president of Disney) recently said they have no plans to buy back any of the rights from other studios.

 

[Aztec]

Well you can't go by what they say publicly. Iger and Feige are so politically correct in their answers about this stuff. Feige recently said "I root for those films to do well." Yeah right.

But with that in mind I just don't see them buying the characters back until there are only 1 or 2 characters out of their hands. You also need to remember that FF, DD, and GR are really just buffer for X-Men and Spider-Man at Fox and Sony respectively. It's just one more thing to hold over Marvel's head at this point.

What are talking about? Kingpin is under the Daredevil franchise and thus was owned by Fox. Sony never had the rights to the Kingpin.

Dark Knight is PG-13 and that worked out well. Daredevil is not R rated materials in the comics, why would the movies be rated R? I'm a bit worried that Marvel Studios would get the tone right for DD, I thought the Captain America movie didn't have the right tone, it just didn't seem serious enough.

 

[MarvelKnight]

Here's hoping Daredevil finally goes back home.

 

[Nightwing 52]

FOX will probably replace Slade quickly but here's hoping DD heads back to where he belongs.

 

[roach]

if DD goes to Marvel it will be a while before you see him again...ask Punisher and Blade

 

[MarvelKnight]

if DD goes to Marvel it will be a while before you see him again...ask Punisher and Blade

As long as DD goes back to marvel, i don't care if it'd be 20 years before the next dd movie lol. Just knowing he's where he belongs (with marvel) is worth the wait.

I do not believe that Marvel bought back the Avengers movie rights. They kept those rights.

Except I would rather see a great DD movie sooner rather then later, I don't care who makes it as long as it is good. Besides I have a few doubts if they can get the tone right for a DD, considering the Captain America movie didn't seem serious enough.

 

[DJ_KiDDvIcIOUs]

Glad to hear he dropped out. Now here's hoping the production stalls out, Tue rights revert back to MS where DD belongs so we can get the movie we deserve

Talking to SuperHero Hype, The Amazing Spider-Man producers Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach have discussed the possibility of the Sinister Six being used in a future installment in the franchise. It would appear that the success of Marvel's The Avengers has convinced them that it would work, while they also express interest in using the Kingpin too.

Does Sony have the rights to Kingpin? That was a great Spider-Man villain until Frank Miller took him for his run on Daredevil and he became known more as a Daredevil villain, appearing in that movie.

Arad: Believe it or not, Kingpin was on loan to Daredevil, so again, anything that is part of the Spider-Man Universe or introduced in the Spider-Man Universe--without getting too legal beagle here--is an opportunity, and if we have a story that Kingpin is important, I'm sure we can handle that.

Hello everyone,
I know many of you would like a reboot with the orinigi fresh and revolutionary, with a style similar to Coppola's Godfather?

 

[Raiden]

If Marvel can get DD back, they can make a Marvel Knights movie with DD, Punisher, Blade, and Moon Knight. Yes, it's not the exact same as the comic version, but this could work and work very well.
