Despite previous reports that Fox's new Daredevil movie would be a continuation from the last one, albeit with a completely different cast, it seems not to be the case. David Slade tweeted the following..



Forgot to look at the internet for a few weeks and its a litany of false (and not so far off) rumours. So without breaking confidentiality, yes Daredevil, we have a great outline for a very strong character driven take on Mr Matt Murdock. It will bare no relation to the previous Daredevil movie in any way. We are at early planning stages and have not yet discussed any cast.


I guess that also debunks the Bradley Cooper/Garret Hedlund rumors. But he does say some of the rumors are not far off. My guess is that since it clearly isn't to do with casting that it refers to speculation that the plot of the new movie will follow Frank Miller's Born Again comic arc.
