Kevin Feige Confirms DAREDEVIL Rights Are Back With Marvel
Unfortunately he offers up no new details on the studio's plans for The Man Without Fear, but Feige does confirm that after Fox failed to get a Daredevil movie into production on time, Marvel does indeed own the rights to the character.
We had assumed as much anyway after Fox failed to meet the deadline to get a new Daredevil movie going and lost out on the rights to the character, but we had never heard anything official from either studio on the matter until now. Speaking with Newsarama yesterday at the Iron Man 3 press junket, Marvel Studios president of production Kevin Feige confirmed to the site that the Daredevil rights are indeed now under the Disney/Marvel umbrella. Although that seems to be all he had to say on the matter as Newsarama report: "While Feige told us about the rights reversion, he gave no indication of what, if anything, Marvel Studios has planned for Daredevil at this point." Good news, but I think it'll be a while before we see the character on the big screen again. If anything I think a Marvel tv series is more likely. What about you guys?
