Jason Statham Wants To Be Daredevil

[cerealkiller182]

Everyone can agree that Stathams a great action hero in the same vain as the guys from the 80s. He has great screen presence and most of his roles are based on that fact. I also think everyone agrees that hed be a great DD but a bad Murdock which is an unfortunate fact. I think Statham in a superhero movie would have to be part of a team or in a supporting role where he can fall into his niche

I don't even know if he could pull DD off. Could he do the action scenes? No doubt about that. But actually acting DDish?

I could see him as Taskmaster maybe. Playing the badass mercenary but wearing a mask at all times.

 

[Rich Santoro]

^^ agreed ^ agreed

He would be good for Taskmaster or Crossbones or some other physical bad guy.

 

[WeaponXProject]

Understatement of the year... but the point stands. A fun as Statham is to watch, he is no Oldman or Ledger. Not by a long-shot.

An understatement, yes...besides the smartassness, my point was to say that Statham can not play a character outside a "Guy Ritchie pikey thug" or a butt kicking Transporter. For him to play an american character with hair that has a fan base is rediculous. The main thing to me is that people have a visual in mind of who Dare Devil is and Jason Statham looks nothing, and could act nothing like him.

t:

I was indeed being a smartass... as to your real point, I agree with you 100%

Although, Pitt played the Pikey thug... Statham was an underground bare-knuckle boxing promoter from South London. More of a street savvy, rather than a thug. But I am just being a smartass again...

Now Statham for Taskmaster I could dig.

jag

 

[Brian Braddock]

Statham as Taskmaster would be badass.

DareDevil recast

Matt Murdock/ DareDevil - Michael C. Hall

Bullseye - James Marsters

Kinpin/ Wilson Fisk - No f***ing clue.
Gladiator - Javier Bardem

[Brian Braddock]

Good to see others jumping on the Michael C. Hall bandwagon.

It's an awesome choice, actually. I'd have never thought of it, but he's got Murdock to a T.

 

[WeaponXProject]

How about the Main actor from the show Mad Men? He may be too old but I think he would do well.

Jordan Belfi as Matt Murdock

He has the look but not much experience behind him.

 

[Rich Santoro]

I am on the Hall bandwagon... And I really liked Clarke as Kingpin.

 

[Hypestyle]

....yet another option is Hawkeye, especially the Ultimates version.. still, I'd prefer if he worked on an American accent..

 

[rogue trooper]

I think Michael C. Hall would be an excellent choice as well. However, I'm not going to dismiss Statham either. I'll wait and see what happens.

 

[MovieGeekFreak]

maybe thats what you need for this film

who as kingpin?

i agree

 

[Brian Braddock]

who as kingpin?

I think Rich means Michael Clarke Duncan;

I agree - he was a pretty good fit for Fisk.

Hehe - Michael C. Hall and Micheal C. Duncan?

 

[Rich Santoro]

^ Yes... what SPERBENITEZ said... Clarke as Kingpin, Hall as DD. And the two Michaels is a good catch

 

[Brian Braddock]

Well, at least there'd be a nice symmetry on the movie poster.

 

[ShadowBoxing]

I'd recast MCD, but seriously I couldn't think of anyone better.

 

[Brian Braddock]

That's exactly it - he's not ideal but he's about the closest to the Kingpin that we can get.

That was the reason for his casting then and it's pretty much the same situation now.

>Waits for someone to suggest the Big Show<
