Daredevil rights coming back home to Marvel...

[manyfaces]

No & Yes. In the comics, the Kingpin is a villain of Daredevil, Spider-Man, & The Punisher. But he's Daredevil's Top villain, while only a minor-middle of the pack recurring Spider-Man villain. Which is unlike the 90's Spider-Man animated series that you were referring to, where the Kingpin is the main villain of the show.






Is Matt Murdock part of Stark's legal team in the comics?

Not sure about Stark, but I'm pretty sure he's represented Banner at some point, and him fighting the Hulk is still one of my favorite comics issues of all time.

A lot of people keep saying how all these new comic movies need to be dark since Nolan start doing Batman, but I don't think that fits for a lot of these franchises. However, DD is perfect for that type of atmosphere. The protector of Hells Kitchen who dayjob is a defense lawyer? They can even tie in the Punisher for another gritty spinoff since they're so closely tied. It's a lot to work with there and Fox took the wackest, corniest approach possible. I don't even think Afleck was miscaste, it was just a goofy ass movie to me, and I wasnt feeling their rendition of the suit either. Something bout that leather look really fukked it up for me.

i agree there's only a couple of heroes who films need to be dark and gritty and they're all street level heroes. Daredevil, Moonknight, Punisher, Wolverine, and Night Thrasher given the "Nolan" treatment

Could you imagine a tied universe with those guys?

Exactly. (sidenote: just noticed we aint got no spawn smiley. Not Marvel, but another character that fits) . I think whoever pieced together that YouTube clip is on to something in regards to the style of a good daredevil flick. Something in the 70's during the different gangs in NY or around the crack era of the 80's would be a great setting for DD.

Same with Punisher, especially, being a war vet who's a little older. That Thomas Jane flick was way too light. And Warzone, while much more violent, may have went too extreme the other way. Though I'm sure it was done purposely, it was way too campy for me.

And btw, wow at the nightthrasher reference. I haven't heard that name in years. Just really getting back in the comics loop again.

those youtube clips was the sizzle reel that the potential director Joe Carnahan presented to Fox as his vision for what his DD movie would look like

he put those out yesterday along w/ the news that Fox was going to pass and let the rights revert back to Marvel. Maybe he's hoping that Marvel will let him still direct DD once they gain control of it.

DD would seem to be a prime candidate for Marvel's TV show that Joss Whedon is going to help develop. Could you imagine a "Law & Order" type show with Matt Murdock/Daredevil?

I think it's a safe bet that Sony won't make another Ghost Rider movie and will let the rights revert back to Marvel.

doesnt that mean fox keep galactus and silver silver? this thing is getting confusing.I thought marvel threw fox a bone by giving them an extension to get a DD flick in pre-production by late 2012.With the caveat being that marvel get back the rights to silver surfer/galactus.Now this article says there is no extension? wasnt that just the cartoon taking liberties?

no kingpin was a spider man villein first.

i just wan to see the rose fight daredevil. Also now deredevil and punisher can be in a movie together.

Yup but he was in DD's movie

Frank Miller made him an important figure in the daredevil universe. In the 70's though he was the main antagonist for spiderman.

X-Men & F4 at FOX and Spider-Man & Ghost Rider at Sony.

I believe everybody else has gone back to Marvel Studios.

And there character rosters so that's a lot of characters still

 

[Rekkapryde]

They really need that F4 licence back for the Thanos angle in the Avengers flicks..

Watch: Joe Carnahan's Awesome Discarded 'Daredevil' Pitch Videos | FirstShowing.net

Following Carnahan's tweets this morning, Variety confirmed that the film rights to Daredevil would indeed revert back to Marvel Studios in October. "Fox will have no choice but to allow the rights to Daredevil to go back to Marvel" because time will be up. Carnahan himself also tweeted a response adding: "DD pitch was tremendous and everyone flipped for it. The clock ticked down at Fox, that's why it went t*ts up." The pressure from fans online eventually pushed him to throw up both videos on YouTube, so here they are. One is a more "NC-17" (extremely violent) version, while the other is just a tamer studio-friendly PG-13 pitch.
