Has the DAREDEVIL Reboot Come to a Halt?

Marvel needs the Right back to this Fuhhhk fox. [frick] Slade. Bring it back to marvel

All the better for Marvel Studios.

get back to marvel horn head, you deserve it

Sigh.

Get back to Marvel, already. You can forget about Spider-Man or X-Men EVER reverting back. There's too much money in those properties.

Just give everything back to Marvel Studios.

Please Fox, just give up. They keep trying to hold the rights. Give it back to Marvel Studios. At this point, I do not care about ANY Marvel films that are not in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This includes, as far as we know, The Amazing Spider-Man.

DD is my main ho. I just want a proper movie!

Hey guys, uh, as long as Fox has a director attached, and at least an outline of a script, it counts as "in production", which means the contract is still good. Which may be why Fox isn't pressing it. They can put that thing in to developmental hell for a year and it won't revert back. Sorry folks. Marvel won't be getting it back anytime soon.

Put him in a team-up movie.

@bgg1175 - You have some valid points but I absolutely disagree with the idea that DD would make for a weak tv series. As BattlinMurdock points our Matt Murdock is a great character and they could explore his lawyerly pursuits as the main part of the series (people seem to love crime dramas these days). Heck, if they can develop a Green Arrow and a Punisher tv series they could certainly do the same with DD.

As far as not being movie material, well he has already shown that people will watch a DD movie. Worldwide DD made more than twice its budget so rule of thumb it made its money back and all the other stuff (merchandising, dvd/tv sales, etc) made it profitable. However, DD is certainly not movie franchise material. It is a one off as a movie.

Should Marvel get the rights back maybe they will use the character in a team up situation (not the Avengers though) perhaps The Defenders or even just use the Murdoch character in some cameos defending heroes or even villains in court.

Two reasons ain't going to happen:

1. Fox sees lackluster biz Ghost Rider and their FF films did and they rightly think if they make a DD film, it's not going to make their money back.

2. They know they don't know how to make a Marvel property the way Marvel can.

Film execs are the most paranoid schitzos around. One clunker can get people fired. I bet there's a lot of nervous execs at Fox who won't roll the dice.

I kind of agree with bgg. It might seem like a no-brainer to comic book fans, but to the general public, all Dare Devil makes them think of is a meh movie. I also think a lot of people have the perception that every super hero movie out represents the best that can be done with the character. Green Lantern sucked? That character must not lend himself well to making a movie. It hard to shift perception when the movies are the only thing the masses are seeing.

I'd love for Marvel to get DD back.
Maybe another ensemble movie possibility.
Marvel Knights?
DD/Punisher/Moon Knight/ etc?
(street level heroes and anti-heroes

...if Marvel got DD back, they'd make a fun good film. Not great, but something very watchable.

Or they could make a great TV series. DD, Electra, Punisher, Blade, Cloak & Dagger... all the street heroes. Oh yeah!
