Daredevil reboot: official discussion thread

[Nightwing 52]

Hmm, Cooper wouldn't be bad IMO although he's one of my preferred choices for Green Arrow.

Anyone else want to see Echo?

 

[sabetoonth]

Misha Collins for Matt Murdock/Daredevil

hmm a left feild choie imo, i think he may be able to pull it off, hes with mch as my tops dd pics

 

[MilkmanDan]

Karen Page - Michelle Williams

 

[Congo Jack]

Karen Page - Michelle Williams

Great choice.

 

[Nightwing 52]

Williams would be a decent choice for Karen, she isn't my first though. How about January Jones from Mad Men?

I'm still wondering who'd be a good choice for Kingpin.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Matthew Fox (Lost) as Daredevil / Matt Murdock

Brendan Gleeson (In Bruges) as Wilson Fisk

Patton Oswalt (Big Fan) as Foggy Nelson

Sarah Shahi (Life) as Elektra

Walton Goggins (The Sheild) as Bullseye

 

[Nightwing 52]

Shahi is a HOT choice for Elektra. Funny enough I just watched her on Psych. Not to mention I can totally imagine her kicking ass. Good call, Eddie.

I like the rest of your cast, do you have any other choices for DD besides Fox?

 

[Jordacar]

^I've seen Matthew Fox with red hair. Not a pretty sight.

 

[sabetoonth]

the trouble with kingoin is his size, you need to have a big guy who can act, its like castign bane, but harder since fisk dont wear a mask

 

[Nightwing 52]

^ For me, James Gandolfini keeps coming to mind.

 

[Nightwing 52]

Freakin' lag.

Ha, I think we'd be able to forgo hair dye if he was cast. t:

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

Ethan Hawke for Daredevil

 

[hugekent]

Sarah Shahi (Life) as Elektra

Yes, great choice! She's probably way too small for Elektra but who gives a damn, she'd look awesome and I can definitely see her doing well in action scenes.

 

[TheVileOne]

How about NO Elektra for now?

Listen, Elektra had her shot. They need to get back to Karen Page.

Doing the Elektra story for the first movie was way too much and it extremely muddled things up.

 

[Jordacar]

Karen Page should get at least as much screen time as Pepper Potts got.

 

[dude stannis]

Not going to be too interested unless they get JCVD as DD, Statham as Bullseye and Steven Seagal as Kingpin and get Corey Yuen to coreograph the fight scenes, which take up 100% of the running time.

lol.

I can agree with no Elektra for this one. With Karen there's obviously that great story between her and DD waiting to happen and I'd love to see it onscreen if done correctly (again, not holding my breath). But yeah, I'm all for Karen getting her time to shine. If not Karen, then my second choice for female lead is Echo.

Indeed, when I first saw the film I thought was somewhat a villain, so to me the film had three villains....yikes!

As far as women go

First movie - Karen. Typhoid has a cameo by which she becomes Typhoid, I think she was knocked out of a window or something like that by Daredevil, on mistake.

Second movie - Typhoid Mary

Third movie - Elektra

 

[Brian Braddock]

Ha, I think we'd be able to forgo hair dye if he was cast. t:

Nah, his hair colour is what makes Matt who he is (all those years of being the butt of playground ginger jokes has built up his character )

Just cast a guy more 'naturally' suited towards the role. >cough< MCH >cough<

I can see something like this happening, if the franchise is successful. The Typhoid story would be a nice foreshadow for a sequel. And yeah, DD did knock her out of a window. So that sets up a perfect way for her to be in the sequel - seeking revenge.

I wouldn't mind MCH.

 

[Brian Braddock]

In that case, you are obviously a person of impeccable taste.

 

[Nightwing 52]

Back at ya dude.

Seriously though, he has the look for Matt. That picture someone posted on the other page with him rocking the shades convinced me otherwise. Plus I think from gaining experience on a crime show like Dexter it'd be easy for him to delve deep into DD's dark world.

BTW, am I the only one who wants to see DD vs. The Hand in this one? Could be epic on screen!
