    Daredevil

    Character » Daredevil appears in 4766 issues.

    As a child, Matt Murdock was blinded by radioactive waste while trying to save an elderly stranger about to get hit by a truck carrying the dangerous material. In turn, his other senses were heightened to superhuman sharpness and he gained a form of "radar sense". By day, he is a successful trial lawyer; but by night, he guards Hell's Kitchen as Daredevil: the Man Without Fear.

    Daredevil films...sequel?reboot?or left to lie awhile??

    I think if there were a sequel i wouldn't mind seeing Elektra coming back to Matt or hired to assassinate him  but i would like Ben Affleck to return as DD but like you said he said he won't but I heard Jennifer Garner would like to return as Elektra and she was good at her role so if they had Elektra in it at least she would still want to play in it

    I think they would be better off with a reboot, and put Bullseye (if they choose to use him again) in a costume this time. Ben Affleck was okay as Daredevil, but there are a lot of people who could pull it off. The apartment fighting scene in Bourne Identity had me thinking Matt Damon could pull it off. Jennifer Garner was okay as Elektra, but not really strong enough (presence wise). Ideally they should get someone who looks Greek too. Unfortunately, Colin Farrell was the worst person they could cast for Bullseye. In order to make the audience believe you can kill people by throwing harmless objects, you have to take it seriously and believe in it yourself. 
     
    I'm not sure where they would go with the next Daredevil. Perhaps the Born Again storyline. Maybe have a 'DD vs Punisher' movie? Especially since both those movie franchises need some help.

    I liked the first Daredevil movie. It was good action and i can't believe i'm saying this sort of romance.

    I think they should go with an absolute reboot.  They ruined the first attempt at a Daredevil movie by trying to turn an R-rated storyline into a kids flick. They should get some one a little more mature than Ben Affleck who has more of an intense presence to play Matt Murdock.  They should also get an actress with a much more intense presence to play Elektra.  I think it would also be good if they filmed it in the same style that they filmed Sin City & 300.

    @Weapon-Alpha: Well Frank Miller is the one who improved DD and created Elektra, so I don't see why the style would be incompatible.  In think the actress that played the Spartan Queen would make a great Elektra.

    Fox and Marvel are reportedly planning a Daredevil reboot, and frankly I think that's the best idea. I want a fresh start, far removed from the original film (which I did enjoy to an extent). I think enough time has passed that a reboot would seem totally new and exciting anyway (depending on who is involved).

    Matthew McConahey (but spelt right) Maybe Guy Pierce?
    A more Greek looking Elektra.
     
    I'd say a sort of sequel. Born Again would pick up well from where the first movie left off.

    I'd hate that. Don't think it'd suit DD at all.

    I enjoyed the Daredevil movie although I think that they tried to put too much into it, especially the Elektra stuff. I honestly think DD would work better as a take on the standard Law/Lawyer shows but take it as Matt Murdock's take.

    My thoughts exactly. After seeing Sin City (and even The Spirit which was done in the same style), my immediate reaction was "this is how they should have done the Daredevil movie!".  Daredevil #181 (Death of Elektra) would work look perfect in that style. That whole fight scene between Bullseye vs. Elektra feels like you are watching a movie in snapshot. 
     
    The actress (wife) from 300 certainly looks like she could play the part of Elektra. Elektra originally was all about action, presence, and few words. They need someone who can walk onto the screen and make your blood turn cold with her stare. ;)

    I think Jason Statham could make a good Bullseye. Who do you think could play DD?
