Daredevil reboot: official discussion thread

[NinjaTurtleFan]

Let me take one more crack at an ideal Daredevil cast.


Karen Page = Diane Kruger

Elektra Natchios = Rhona Mitra

Echo/Maya Lopez = Jordana Brewster

White Tiger/Angela del Toro = Roselyn Sanchez

Bullseye/Lester = Jason Statham

Gladiator/Melvin Potter = Vin Diesel

So.....What do you think?

I like these. I'm sorry I know alot of you guys want Hall but I just don't see it. Maybe I should watch alot more "Dexter."

As for Kingpin, I want either Gandolfini or Ray Winstone or have Michael Clark Duncan come back. I didn't think he was a bad Kingpin, but I wish they would've written him a little better and gave him more scenes. In the director's cut, he was freaky scary when he picked that guy up and suffocated him. That's the kind of Kingpin I want to see.

we want him because he is a good actor who looks quite alot like matt

dexter is a serial killer not sure how that would make you see him as daredevil other than seeing how good of an actor he is lol

Bullseye played by Will Arnett:

I think Will Arnett would make a great Bullseye, a killer who really enjoys his work. Plus his voice, like Alec Baldwin, is how I always imagine Bullseye's.
I think he could pull it off. Just send him to the gym before filming.

 

[BigSams50]

He looks the part, but i'm not very familiar with his work. The only things i've seen him in are comedies

 

[Steve Holt]

Jeffery Donovan (Burn Notice) is IMO the best choice for Bullseye, the build, the voice, the evil smile/smirk

 

[Doctor Jones]

If I saw Arnett as Bullseye I could probably never take him seriously because my head because of Arrested Devlopment.

 

[OptimusPrime114]

Thank god I'm not the only one!

 

[Daredevil]

I wish I wasnt the only person who liked Affleck as Daredevil

 

[Michellemabelle]

I liked Affleck as Daredevil. I just don't want to see him play the character in a reboot (and at this point, he wouldn't, even if asked).

 

[BigSams50]

One thing i didnt like about Affleck's daredevil is the way he ran. He just looked like a ******ed kid.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Walton Goggins for Bullseye

 

[Sawyer]

Only if, at some point in the movie, he utters "I've made a huge mistake."

 

[Daredevil]

Am I the only one that thinks that Michael Clarke Duncan as the Kingpin was the 100% correct choice? I dont really think that anyone will be able to outdo him to be honest. MCD is a great actor and his physique was perfect for the role. The scene where he kills his bodyguards is awesome!

^ I enjoyed MCD in the film. If Kingpin returns, they should bring him back for the role.

 

[NinjaTurtleFan]

Walton Goggins for Bullseye

BRILLIANT!

There are two people i want to see in the role of Kingpin
MCD, and John Ryes Davies

 

[Peyton Westlake]

If yuore only requirement of Kingpin is he must fill the physical role.......then MCD is one of the few who can, even though his race is incorrect. If you realize someone that big is kind of rare in an actor to find for Kingpin & just worry about his performance on screen....why not James Gandolfini with a shaved head....or Viggo Mortensen with a shaved head. That image of Viggo in my head looks like a crazed crime lord. Who else is left really? Steve Austin?

 

[Peyton Westlake]

Steve has the size & look , but not my choice...is a joke on my part. My point is the big dudes are not really good actors.

 

[Daredevil]

I think Michael Clarke Duncan is an awesome actor.

 

[Peyton Westlake]

I think Michael Clarke Duncan is an awesome actor.

I think he is.....not academy award caliber....but better then avg.

 

[Project862006]

his voice and screen presence made kingpin great

 

[Peyton Westlake]

his voice and screen presence made kingpin great

It really did. Thats accurate for sure.

 

[Daredevil]

I have been reading other threads and if there is a category of superhero movies they always say put Daredevil in the Worst or just plain bad category.

No truly this is starting to bother me, the theatrically released version in truth WASNT THAT BAD. It wasnt really good but, it wasnt Elektra. It wasnt Catwoman. So it just truly gets tiring to repeatedly here this especially when the Directors Cut is absolutely fantastic and in my opinion is among such greats as X2, Spiderman 2, etc.

I just dont understand why people think that the original is bad enough to warrant putting it on the same level as Elektra, Catwoman, or even (yes I saw this too) Batman and Robin. Its truly not fair and is honestly getting really annoying to hear repeatedly.

 

[BigSams50]

I havnt seen the theatrical cut, only the directors cut. I found it to be pretty good tbo. Yea a few things could've been changed, but its still a pretty good film

 

[Octoberist]

IF I HAD to pick one of the two franchises that Fox has (Daredevil and Fan Four) that I would greenlit for a reboot, it would be Daredevil.
