Director Joe Carnahan seems to be ready to toss in the towel on the last ditch attempt to reboot the Marvel superhero Daredevil before Fox’s rights to the franchise expire this fall. Carnahan sent out a tweet today saying, “I think my idea for a certain retro, red-suited, Serpico-styled superhero went up in smoke today kids.”
FOX likes to make shitty hero movies. Just look at the Fantastic Four movies, Ghost Rider... i mean seriously?
Now all we need is Wolverine and Spidey for the Avengers 2.
but yeah with some property being returned to marvel i sense some possible change in the force
maybe spiderman will make a cameo
but xmen hell no theres hundreds of xmen alone fox have winner there they will never give up xmen or lend the characters they hate disney lol
im surprised fox did not shoot some crap and put it in the vault to keep daredevil they lose kinpin as well hopefully disney can lend him to sony for for future spiderman movies in exchange spidey show up in advengers
On the other hand, Fox has done well by the X-Men franchise. And if First Class is any indication, Fox is looking to handle these things more seriously now. I think what they had in the works for Daredevil could have been good.
Now, toss it back over to Marvel and I have a feeling it's going to get lost in the shuffle and not tended to properly. They're too focused on the Avengers plan over there. I'm doubting we see Daredevil in The Avengers. Even if we did, it would be in Phase 3 at the earliest.
But think about it, clearly Marvel doesn't have much of a desire to work on the Daredevil property. Afterall, they were offering Fox the ability to keep the Daredevil property in exchange for Silver Surfer and whatnot. That indicates to me that they have no real desire to do anything with the property. So for all we know they're just gonna toss it in the pile and let it sit there for years before trying anything with it (like I said, they have their hands full with too much stuff anyways, ie Avengers).
Not to mention, I don't want Disney getting control of Daredevil anyways. They'll water him down. And if it happens like so many fans want it to (Daredevil get involved in the Avengers plan), then Disney does oversee that and they will tone down the character. Rather, Daredevil needs to take the type of turn that Nolan took with Batman. At this point, if the rights revert, the best bet is for Marvel to toss the character down to Marvel Knights and let them do something with it rather than trying to fit the character into their big Marvel Universe plan they have going on.
