Anyway getting back to the main topic, who should be the villain in the first reboot movie and what should the plot be? Should the movie retell the origin again or should it just forgo the origin?
 
It should be like Incredible Hulk and have Kingpin as the villain in whatever huge story that everyone keeps bringing up and Gladiator and/or Typhoid Mary as the main villain
 
It would be so cool if they did an adaptation of Joe Kelly's Daredevil/Deadpool story from 97 featuring Typhoid Mary. One of the best comic books I've ever read.

Considering they already ruined Deadpool in the Wolverine, how would they have him in a DD film?

Maybe they should just do a straight DD vs. Typhoid Mary film instead?
 
I think my favorite idea suggested here is to do a TV series, instead of a reboot/sequel.

Yes, most superheroes don't lend themselves to the constraints of TV shows but Daredevil would be almost perfect on TV. Why? Well, for one, he's a much cheaper character than most; his powers can be portrayed subtly and his main enemies (Kingpin, Bullseye, Typoid Mary, The Hand, etc...) are mainly assassins, hired hands, gangsters or ninjas, as opposed to the costumed super villains that, say, Spider-Man has to contend with.

The most important reason, though, is that instead of being another superhero TV show, Daredevil would function perfectly as a crime drama...with a superhero in it. I think the best approach here would be to do something similar in tone to Bendis' run. Keep the focus more on Matt Murdock than anything else but adapt the classic Frank Miller story lines.

This is just my thought but the more I think about it, the more that I really do think Daredevil would be better suited for a TV crime drama than he would for a big-budget action movie.

Deadpools getting his own movie, completely rebooted from that abomination Wolverine.

I just think it would be cool to maybe introduce Typhoid Mary in Deadpools movie then cross over with a new Daredevil movie.

That is not a bad idea. I have to say... I like the cross-over concept. I am looking forward to the Avengers, and the ongoing appearances of characters in a variety of Marvel Studios films.

It seems like Fox could do more cross-overs since they own the movie rights to several properties. Cross-overs could be a good way to breath new life into DD... and GR for that matter.

However... I still prefer a TV serial. For example: I was a fan of the Highlander TV show, and I liked Adrian Paul loads better than Christopher Lambert. The TV show would have spun nicely into a Highlander Movie, over-writing the original film.

The only thing that I wouldn't want to lose from the original film, was the backstory with Matt's father. Seeing David Keith as a struggling boxer, up against it, worked well for me. It was cast right and well delivered. A pilot episode could even use that footage for backstory.

The DD movie is rebooted, not the X-Men movies, so Fox likely won't want to put DP in the DD movie.

I think a DD reboot movie should focus on DD characters before having a cross over.

that's been yet confirmed. the film could easily so his transformation from XO:W to his own movie....

Both the actor (who will certainly get a producer credit considering the work he is putting in) and the producer are both considering it a reboot/individual from Wolverine

a stand alone film doesn't mean it has absolutely no connection from it's conceptional film. It most likely will pull a hulk where it could be or not. depends on your pov. I personally would like to have them connected... it just needs to have a quick, small scene showing deadpool in surgery or something and voila. .

No, they literally said it would have no connection to Wolverine, at least the 2 people most heavily involved now.

ive read all the info the hype news has given.... at best all that i can recall is that this would be his own movie and not deal with the events in wolverine. Doesnt mean he wont start out getting "fixed" or in this film was never part of weapon X... the guy had his origin already told.. if its a reboot, they need to retell it.. which there not going to do.

Ryan has already said he was displeased with Wolverine and only allowed it because it wasnt Deadpools movie. Laura said she wants to see the Deadpool from the comics so theyd have to reboot it.

i read all that and they never used the term "reboot" or "start over" or "redo". They just are saying the film is happening to do the character justice and making it his own movie and more like the comics. It's going to focus on him.
 
Michael C. Hall - Daredevil
Seth Rogen - Foggy Nelson
Amy Smart - Karen Page
Rhona Mitra - Elektra
Michael Clarke Duncan - Kingpin
Jodi Lynn O'Keefe - Typhoid Mary
IDK who to cast for anyone else
 
For Typhoid Mary I like

Susan Ward

or Rhona Mitra

Though Rhona would be a good Elektra...

Laura Donner's quote from ign
"We'd kind of reboot it and make it the Deadpool that's in the comics," the producer told us, while adding that Wolverine costar Ryan Reynolds is still set to reprise the role despite his involvement with Warner Bros./DC's Green Lantern film.
And now that Wolverine is done with, even post-media time, I have heard Ryan basically say they got deadpool wrong and thats not the way to do him (except much more diplomatically)

and Laura also says at http://www.empireonline.com/features/future-of-x-men-franchise/3.asp
I want to ignore the version of Deadpool that we saw in Wolverine and just start over again. Reboot it. Because this guy talks, obviously, and to muzzle him would be insane... We're right in the thick of talking to writers right now, and hopefully by November we'll have decided who's going to do it. We need someone really imaginative because we want to do some really innovative, ambitious stuff. Ryan's mentioned this in an interview already but there are parts where he's going to break the fourth wall and talk directly to the audience in the cinema. We have to work out how to do that. I don't know that Fox will agree with all our decisions, but we'll see!

"We'd kind of reboot it and make it the Deadpool that's in the comics,"
Key wording there isn't "reboot" its the "kind of" which does not mean much of a retooling.

as for what ryan wants... that doesn't really mean much. As long as the character is right, and he agrees to that aspect (the main thing he wants) he really doesnt have any say in if they transition the character or "reboot" him as a whole. There most likely going to continue it off of XO:W but completely fix the suped up craziness they did with the character. none of that is pure confirmation..especially when the producer says "kind of"
 
You just gonna ignore the other quote where she doesnt say "kind of." What Ryan wants maybe means little in a grand scheme based on his level of celebrity but as it stands now (as I have said from the beginning, as the movie stands now it is planned as a remake, meaning anything could happen later, but it is definitely being discussed as a reboot no question about it), he is one of two people officially working on the project as he is going to most if not all the creative meetings. Also I would say his celebrity has been hiked up significantly as his name seems to be making more and more studio short lists for title characters.

i just dont see fox doing a complete reboot for the same reasonings they're not "rebooting" First Class... im pretty confident that they mean more like deadpool will be re-tooled rather then rebooted. Which means we wont get an origin (unless its a quick one ala inc hulk), and he will be the deadpool we know and love. without the XO:W Frankenstein monster deal.

this could be done in several ways...
1) ignoring those abilities... have him deformed from the weapon X operation... possibly stating it caused him cancer, no mention of laser eyes or sword arms... they could even keep the teleportation if they wanted too.. and make it an ability since he has it in the comics (but as a gadget)

2) they could open the movie up with deadpool on an operating table... he wakes up, and notices someone "fixed him"

3) they could completely ignore his XO:W powers and still mention his defeat at the hands of wolverine

they could do all of this or anything similar.. and both what Ryan and LSD said would fit under those lines. And in all honesty...is it really a big deal if they do it any of those 3 ways? you get pre-deadpool in XO:W who kicks as till stryker experimented on him, then you still get the perfect deadpool in his spinoff without screwing up movie continuity even more so.

I am not making an argument for which is the way to go, only correcting you as you repeatedly flat-out said "reboot isnt happening" even though the 2 primary individuals on the project have said otherwise.

and im only telling you that LSD still said "sort of" and ryan "wants" it to ignore XO:W... All i'm telling you is nothing is set in stone yet.
