If they make a sequel to the Daredevil film, who should be the villain?
I'd say The Owl, Typhoid Mary, Mr. Fear, and The Enforces, plus some nameless mobsters, in a storyline about a gang war that errupts because of Fisk's arrest.
That seems a bit crowded.
Easy,look at the othe comic book movies that throw in multiple villains,they sux(.) Or there becomes so many side stories it detracts from haveing any continuity in the movie...Lets face it DD isn't exactly the cream of the crop when it comes to comic movies. I hope they make another one,but I seriously doubt they ever will..I don't see why. There's doesn't have to be one, singular threat that Matt has to deal with. Some of the more interesting Daredevil stories are when ten different things are going wrong at once.

I want see kingpin & bullseye again but with his costume.
Look at Spider-Man 3, people complained when 3 villains were fighting for the spot light, how is a flim supposed to develop as many villains as you suggest without seeming overcrowded? What works in the comics doesn't always work on screen.
I didn't mind the multiple villains in Spider-Man 3. Besides, not everyone I mentioned has to have a major role. The Owl, Mr. Fear, and maybe a third mobster like Hammer Head would be the main villains. Typhoid Mary and the Enforcers would be what they are: henchmen. I really don't see a problem.
I think you are in the vast minority there. Most people do not like too many villains, as seen by the complaints about Spidey 3. There they only had 3 villains and people complained that there wasn't enough spot light for all the villains. Here you have 3 major villains and a bunch of secondary villains, how will they get proper development if they are fighting for the spot light? Also what's the point of using Mary if she is just going to be cannon fodder?

Not every villain needs major cvharacter developement. Look at Boba Fett. He was awesome because we didn't know anything about him. They don't all have to fight for the spotlight.
Venom didn't show up till the end of Spidey 3 and people still thought there were too many villains in that film. I mean the main villains will still need to have the spot light, so that is least 3 villains fighting for the stop light, not including the henchmen. Did you not hear the complaints made about Spidey 3?
I didn't necessairily agree with the complaints. Besides, the point would be to do the whole multiple villains thing better. I still don't see a problem. You have The Owl, Hammerhead, and Mr. Fear as the main villains. The Owl and Hammerhead are the two big crime bosses vying for Fisk's territory. Mr. Fear is the new player working from the shadows to bring both of them down. The Enforcers, who don't need massive atention, work for Hammerhead, and The Owl brings in Typhoid Mary, who is described as a mentally unbalanced psychic with an obsession and possible history with Daredevil. At some point, probably during some big, climactic gang shoot out, Mary betrays The Owl and is revealed to now be working for Mr. Fear. Have Matt appearing during all of that trying to quell the violence from the gang war and keep innocent people from getting hurt in the crossfire, taking on Hammerhead and Typhoid Mary near the end of the film, with the very either having Mr. Fear hiring The Enforcers and becoming the Kingpin of Hell's Kitchen, or Daredevil beating Mr. Fear and declaring himself Kingpin.
Yeah, well most people thought those complaints were valid, even people who liked the movie. The plot you described is way too busy and well *you* may not see a problem, a lot of people would be unhappy because there are too many villains vyinmg for too little screen time. Just because *you* don't see a problem, doesn't mean a problem doesn't exist. It all goes back to KISS (keep it simple stupid), if you too many villains with too many sub plots you lose the audience. Again you seem to be missing a valid point in most of your threads, just because something works in the comics doesn't mean it works it works on the silver screen. DD fighting many threats at once works in a ongoing comic series, but it doesn't work on screen.
I don't see why not. It's all about exicution and how well the writer balances all of the characters. And yes, the plot I suggested is a tad busy. But that's because it's more of a plot than simply "Villain shows up, starts master plan, kidnaps heroe's girlfriend, they fight." Maybe the next Daredevil film should break away from certain cliche's to stand out, and have a slightly more complex plot.

How would that not be a rehash of the first film?
