Daredevil Fan Cast

See who I think would be perfect for the next Daredevil movie. Also, I have no idea why some of the picture might not have uploaded.

OK first up we have Colin O'Donoghue, who I think would be great for Matt Murdock/Daredevil. You may have seen my comments suggesting him for Doctor Strange, but recently I have had a change of heart. He was amazing in The Rite, easily standing out even alongside Anthony Hopkins. The Rite is a very dark movie, so Colin would have no problems with dark, revolving around exorcism and a priest who is struggling with his faith. So, in my opinion, Colin would wonderfully capture Matt Murdocks struggle (if the movie goes the darker route with the storylines that really put Murdock to the test).




Up next, we have Foggy Nelson, Matt Murdock's trusted friend and partner in law. For this, I think Jay Mohr, who I remember from my family watching Ghost Whisperer every Friday night, and he's really the only memorable character from that otherwise forgettable show (in my opinion). Plus, he even looks like him.





For the third part of this fancast, I choose Olivia Wilde for Elektra. She's truly a superb actor, and I look forward to her role in Cowboys And Aliens. In House, her character arc and struggles are very interesting and at points steal the show. Again, in my opinion. She is gorgeous, a talented actor and she would have draw power from House fans. And trust me... there are a lot of those. (Myself included!)





In my head, there is no better to play Stick than the legendary Clint Eastwood. Talk about draw power....





For Karen Page, Scottie Thompson was the first one that popped up in my head. But not for he probably more notable role in NCIS as Jeanne Benoit, but more for her role in the Counting Crows music video for You Can't Count On Me. But she is a very good actor and would do the role justice. Every role deserves justice... No, I won't make a Matt Murdock lawyer joke there.





Maybe one of my weaker choices so far, but Haley is a stunning actor, stealing the show in Watchmen and delivering a great performance in Nightmare On Elm Street (I haven't seen his other work).





Again, probably one of my weaker choices, but I think Murphy would be a good choice for a younger Ben Urich.

I can't even begin to choose someone for Kingpin, that one is just too hard, so I'll leave him out. If I had to choose a major villain though, I'd rather it be The Hand, and I'm not gonna cast hundreds of ninjas....

@ MegaMattMOS

Alright fan-cast, not too bad, but I think you could use someone with more star power to play Daredevil, I was thinking someone like Garrett Hedlund, or even Misha Collins or Patrick Wilson to play Daredevil

For Elektra, how about Eliza Dushku or Jordana Brewster

Cillian Murphy to me he looks like he could be Bullseye to me

Stick I would definitely cast Clint Eastwood in that bit role

Karen Page Ali Larter

Battlin Jack Murdock, how about Jeffrey Dean Morgan instead?

Plus you didn't even include Kingpin in your fan cast, Kingpin is like Daredevil's greatest enemy, and you didn't even cast him

To me this cast overall out of 10 gets at least a 6.5 out of 10, average

I like your Daredevil pick it is very original but the rest of the cast isn't the greatest. Cillian Murphy should be Bullseye if anything not Ben Urich. Olivia Wilde doesn't look anything like Electra. Jackie Earl Haley is too short to play Jak Murdock.

Stana Katic should be Elektra, I don't know your DareDevil pick so I would cast Misha Collins or Jeffrey Donovan. For Kingpin I still think the best choice would be John Goodman.

There's a photoshopped picture of Colin as Matt Murdock!

@Shadow11, I like your choices, thanks!

SuperBatSpiderMan: Alright!

Lewis25: I can't really picture John Goodman, he's too family friendly.

@ScottPilgrim, he's my favorite director. His visuals are amazing, and while Suckerpunch had a weak story, as long as he has someone to focus his creativity, he can sculpt masterpieces. (IMO)

I know he can be family friendly but since I saw him in Death Sentence I have thought he would be a perfect Kingpin.
