Debunked: No Daredevil For Robert Pattinson

Despite solid sources name checking the Twilight star as the studio's favourite for the role of Matt Murdock in David Slade's reboot/follow up, it seems it's all just talk for now..

I think it was probably inevitable that Pattinson would me brought up for this role at some point given that he has worked with director David Slade on Twilight: Eclipse and is currently a hot property in Hollywood. Speculation as to who may step into the horned visage of The Man Without Fear have started up even earlier than usual though, and R Patz led the charge. But in this case at least it seems there are no truth to the rumors..



It turns out, however, that there’s no truth to the buzz about Pattinson donning the tight red costume when the Daredevil character is reborn.

“Don’t know who dreams these stories up,” a source close to Pattinson tells Gossip Cop.


And here is R Patz himself on the matter courtesy of MTV



Of course this doesn't mean that Pattison definitely wont test for the role and he may well be on Fox's radar. Don't be surprised if similar stories pop up debunking Bradley Cooper and Garret Hedlund soon too! This probably wont upset that many of you, although you have to admit, he did look the part if nothing else.
