Joe Carnahan’s idea for a reboot of Daredevil has been shelved (see article here). Joe who has been pitching the idea for a darker, grittier version of the blind super hero Dare Devil. Earlier today on twitter Joe had to say…

“Think my idea for a certain retro, red-suited, Serpico-styled superhero went up in smoke today kids.Â We shall see. Time is NOT on anyone’s side.”

It was rumored last week (see article here)that Fox was going to strike a deal Marvel Studios to have more time to develop the film if they exchange rights to Fantastic Four characters such as the Silver Surfer. Â ButÂ it has recently reported that Fox has until October 10th until they have to hand over the rights back to Marvel.

My Take:

I personally think that Fox should not focus on Daredevil, even though it has been almost a decade the original starring Ben Affleck still leaves a bad taste in your mouth. I think that they should just drop this Marvel Comic character and focus on other films that are not super hero related. Right now, Disney is doing an outstanding job with Marvel Studios which has increased their production budget.Â Warner Brothers has just finished an excellent trilogy with the Dark Knight and is about to revisit Superman in hopes in creating the Justice League. Fox should really focus on films they already have in motion such as X-Men: Days of Future Past or the Wolverine, and try to make them great.
