With the announcement yesterday that Daredevil is set to be ‘Born Again’ in a new movie directed by 30 Days of Night & Hardy Candy helmer David Slade, attention has quickly turned to who might lead the franchise as the new Matt Murdock.
From what we can gather, the new Daredevil movie will be a semi-sequel to Mark Steven Johnson’s 2003 effort starring Ben Affleck but won’t carry over any of the actors from the original and it won’t be a direct sequel. It will simply be a ‘continuation’ meaning that it will be a story set in a universe where Daredevil is already established as fighting crime and it won’t be an origin film… think Louis Leterrier’s The Incredible Hulk and it’s relationship to Ang Lee’s earlier Hulk.
Which means that a new actor is likely to be required and the tricky thing in hiring a lead for a Daredevil movie is that just like the Batman saga, you need to cast two qualities – someone who is capable of playing the blind lawyer aspect of the character (i.e. – the Bruce Wayne part) and someone who can take on the costume and be believable as a costumed avenger. And I imagine it’s not going to be an easy role for Fox to fill.
As we like to do here at OWF as part of our Fantasy Casting series, I’ve come up with eight potential picks for who could be the new Man Without Fear (note these aren’t my top 8 choices, simply a mixture of who I think should circle the role and a few who probably will end up circling).
Josh Hartnett

32 years old
Why: Josh Hartnett already has a strong relationship with director David Slade having worked together on his only comic lead role to date, 30 Days of Night, plus he has the look of Matt Murdock nailed down and has found a recent desire to do a comic book role, probably to revive a failing career. He recently auditioned for the Loki role in Marvel’s Thor but ultimately lost out to Tom Hiddleston. Hartnett, despite not being notable for at least six years, is a still somewhat a heart-throb with Jane Popcorn and probably still has some pulling power with a wider demographic who would boost box office numbers and could play the darker side of Murdock.
If David Slade is going down a Sin City-esque (a movie he was in let’s not forget) noir version of Daredevil, then Hartnett could do a good job for him.
Why Not: Has a CV a mile long of roles where his lack of charisma has let him down and literally bored audiences to death…
