‘Daredevil’ Reboot Gaining Momentum with Joe Carnahan In Talks to Direct!!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Aug 6th, 2012Hi, Bryan Here….
On October 10th, the ‘Daredevil’ right will revert back to Marvel from 20th Century Fox. So it’s in Fox’s best interest to start production on a ‘Daredevil’ reboot. Marvel has been discussing this project with Fox chairman Tom Rothman about keeping the ‘Daredevil’ story with Fox past its October 10th deadline, because it looks like Fox is lining up director Joe Carnahan to direct the reboot.
Joe Carnahan directed ‘Smoking Aces’, the remake of ‘The A-Team’, ‘The Grey’, and ‘Narc’. According to Variety, this new version of ‘Daredevil would be more of the “Frank Miller-esque, hardcore 70s thriller” take on blind Hell’s Kitchen superhero Matt Murdock — a vision that would deviate from Disney/Marvel’s family-friendly tone.
Carnahan does not have a deal made yet, but we hear he is the top choice.
One of the points of this deal with ‘Daredevil’ staying with Fox would be that Fox would have to give the rights to the ‘Fantastic Four’ universe to Marvel, which includes the big bad villain Galactus. You remember Galactus. Marvel also would receive ‘The Silver Surfer’ in that ‘Fantastic Four’ Universe, which Marvel is eyeing to plant as a film. As of right now, the ball is in Fox’s court.
It is in everyone’s best interest for this deal to go down. Marvel will make a far better ‘Fantastic Four’ film than Fox did, and it makes sense with the Galactus character to go to Marvel, since Marvel is prepping him to be a key figure in future super-hero films. And if Fox sticks with Carnahan and at least a PG-13 rating with ‘Daredevil’, I think they will have a successful and quality film. However, it sounds like this version of ‘Daredevil’ will be rated ‘R’.
Your thoughts?

…that wasn’t galactus in the avengers.
It was Thanos.
August 6th, 2012 at 9:06 pm
sorry but it was Thanos in Avengers not Galactus, who was in the last Fantastic 4 movie
August 6th, 2012 at 9:08 pm
That was not Galactus at the end of Avengers – it was Thanos most likely.
August 6th, 2012 at 9:11 pm
Uh, yeah, that was NOT Galactus in the end credits for The Avengers…that was Thanos…
August 6th, 2012 at 9:11 pm
It was Thanos, not Galacticus at the end of The Avengers.
August 6th, 2012 at 9:14 pm
That wasn’t Galactus at the end of The Avengers it was Thanos.
August 6th, 2012 at 9:14 pm
That was Thanos at the end if the avengers
August 6th, 2012 at 9:22 pm
I find it disheartening that a comic book website thinks that was Galactus at the end of the Avengers. It was Thanos
August 6th, 2012 at 9:27 pm
How the fuck do you confuse Galactus for Thanos? ON A FUCKING COMIC BOOK WEBSITE. That’s the equivalent of saying “You know Superman, he’s was a member of the X-men with all the blue fur.”
Go ahead and register Dipshitcomics.com, then kill yourself.

Are you high? Thanos was in the end credits of The Avengers. Galactus was in the crapparama known as Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. How do you work for a comic’s website and make a mistake like that?
August 6th, 2012 at 9:31 pm
Umm… Not to be the correcto-police. But Thanos is in the end sequence in the Avengers, not Galactus. Jesus, get your head straight.
August 6th, 2012 at 9:36 pm
Wow. One little mistake and out of mind experience and everyone is up in arms. AWESOME. Looks like they fixed the mistake.
August 6th, 2012 at 9:45 pm
I heard it was Thanos, NOT Galactus, at the end of Avengers? Can anyone confirm?
August 6th, 2012 at 9:52 pm
hey morons, they meant galactus at the end of the fantastic four the silver surfer movie….
August 6th, 2012 at 9:57 pm
Hey, did anyone say that it was Thanos and not Galactus at the end of Avengers yet?
Also, the deal’s not for the entire Fantastic Four universe, just for Galactus and the Surfer.

So it was Thanos at the end of The Avengers and not Galactus? Did anyone else catch that?
August 7th, 2012 at 12:17 pm
If Marvel doesn’t take this deal and Fox can’t prove active production on the Daredevil movie by October 10, Marvel gets Daredevil. I’ve also heard that if they can’t get a Fantastic Four movie in theaters with in about the next 18 months they revert back to Marvel. So why should Marvel take this deal? All they have to do is wait.
August 7th, 2012 at 2:11 pm
I imagine they want to pump out the film faster as Marvel is looking to make Galactus and the other characters vital parts in their upcoming films. Waiting for 18 months would push back tons of films more than a year.

They didn’t say it was Galactus in Avengers. Current news has Galactus as possibly being the baddie in the Guardians of the Galaxy movie or the next Avengers flick. Read. It is good for you.
