Fox, the company that brought you X-Men, Elektra, and 2003s Daredevil, has been working fast to get their once announced Daredevil reboot in production before the movie rights revert back to Marvel Studios, the original owners. However, reports have come in today stating that Fox has given up on the reboot and are simply letting Marvel have the rights back. In almost an aside, Variety reports that despite losing Daredevil, Fox still owns the rights to Elektra.

This is odd because Elektra was the love interest in the 2003 Daredevil film and Fox's 2005 Elektra film (poster seen above) was set in the exact same universe as the Daredevil film, taking place after it's events.

What does Marvel have in store for The Man Without Fear and is this a simple mix-up by Variety or is it indeed true? We'll just have wait and see.

Welcome, I am Darkknight2149. I am primarily a fan of comic books and their various adaptations, as well as horror and other classic film franchises.

As far as the "DC vs. Marvel" rivalry goes, I'm really not biased when it comes to studios and publishers. Preferences are fine, but I've never understood the basing of opinions purely by the studio/publisher that makes it.
