Dream Casting - Daredevil

By TerrHimself

In case you missed it, this past summer, the movie rights for Daredevil were forfeited by Fox to Marvel. I'll hold off until another post to discuss if I'm worried that a Disney owned Marvel will give us a watered down DD that isn't nearly as dark as fans would like it to be. I’m not going to get into how the 2003 movie failed on various levels. I’m not going to get into how its like the director and execs said, “Let’s make this a Daredevil movie which will essentially be like Batman Forever + The Crow.” I'm not going to do any of that right now.

This is the first of many NGUOnline Dream Castings.
Essentially what I'm putting together here is a cast for a DD movie where we take elements of Frank Miller's DD Born Again story arc and throw in just a little bit of the Elektra Saga which would lead in to DD-2.

Here goes:

DareDevil/Matt Murdock - Matt Bomer

Let's give this guy a shot. If you've seen USA's WHITE COLLAR, you would know that he has acting chops and we've seen him do a bit of physical stuff on NBC's CHUCK. Let's put him on some roof tops doing parkour, in a court room doing lawyer things, and slowly chip away at his sanity.

Foggy Nelson - Mark Webber or Sean Astin

Ok, so we've seen Sean Astin play the chubby best friend and Mark Webber steal scenes in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, but I'm seriously interested in seeing one of these guys work a court room and try to keep the man without fear in line.

Elektra - Odette Annable

Odette Annable as DD's college girlfriend/deadly assassin. How much explaining do I have to do here?

"Battling" Jack Murdock - Kiefer Sutherland or Peter Gallagher

Young Matt is going to need a dad that can give and take a beating and also be a guiding light. You know, until he gets killed for refusing to throw a fight.

Karen Page - Dianna Agron
Yeah, so how about Quinn Fabray from Glee as Matt Murdock's girlfriend, who eventually leaves him, becomes a drugged out porn star that eventually sell's his secret identity for some coke? We all know that's where Quinn will end up anyway.

Ben Urich - Lou Diamond Phillips or Alan Tudyk

Hard nose, chain smoking, investigative reporter that will stand toe-to-toe with cops and gangsters to get a story.

Stick - Manong Dan Inosanto

Someone has to teach Matt Murdoch to fight. Why not bring in the man who brought Filipino Kali/Escrima/Stick Fighting to America and Hollywood? He's had some small roles in various movies and has been a fight choreographer/consultant for nearly 50 years.

Bullseye - Rufus Sewell

Sewell - beautifully menacing. He can go from sympathetic to sociopath at a drop of a dime.

The Kingpin - John Rhys Davies or Philip Seymour Hoffman

Ok. Michael Clarke Duncan was cool, but I still felt he came off as more of a thug than evil billionaire tycoon kingpin of crime. I think one of these guys can do it.

Alright, tell me what you think, who you prefer, or where you think I was off target.
