Daredevil Reboot Fan Cast

Ryden picks the actors for the Daredevil live-action movie reboot!

Filed Under: Fan Fic

Now I'm actually one of the few people who enjoyed the first Daredevil movie, it had its problems but it was still enjoyable, what did annoy me though was Ben Affleck as Daredevil, wasn't crazy with that choice. Anyway Fox is rebooting it so heres my take on the cast.

Daredevil/Matt Murdock- Guy Pearce



I don't know what you guys will think to that choice but I like him, he actually turned down the role first time around but he's been in the dark a while I'm sure he'd take it now, like Ed Norton with Hulk.

Next is

Bullseye/Lester ???- Daniel Day Lewis


Bullseye is an awesome villain and needs an awesome actor to play him, I loved Colin Farell but in the reboot I say DDD because he looks like him and no-one can dispute his acting ability I think he'd be perfect.

Next
Kingpin/Wilson Fisk- Ray Winstone


I loved Michael Clarke Duncan as Kingpin, he was the best thing about the first film but sadly when a reboot happens you have to re-cast everyone and I think staying closer to the comics, Ray Winstone is the best choice, I've noticed a few other people think the same too.

The rest of these are just villains that may appear in sequels and that.

Purple Man/Zebidiah Killgrave- Ray Wise


Not much to say...um...they're both pupeteers??? :D

Gladiator/Melvin Potter-Vin Diesel


I HATE Vin Diesel, I think he is a terrible actor, and I try to avoid him like the plague when casting but with this one I couldn't, he looks to much like Gladiator for me to let him go.


Madcap/???-Jim Carrey


They look a like, Jim Carrey is a good actor and this would be the comic book villain he can play without ruining the character.

Elektra Natchios-Sofia Vergara


This is my choice for Elektra, she looks just like her, I've never seen her act before though so that could be a problem :).

I haven't cast the supporting characters...YET..I will though, anyway I think this'll do just now but expect a couple of updates here and there. Anyway thanks for reading, please comment and be nice. :)

Good casting.

However I have to disagree with you on one thing, Vin Diesel is a good actor...very underrated and he's more than just an action star.

Also, you forgot to cast Elektra.

Tony @ He is underrated, it seems when someone says they hate a certain actor everyone joins in half the time here at CBMs!!! : D

DDL as bullseye???? I like RAY alot but totally wrong for kingpin! Have you friggin' heard his put on american accent lol! PEARCE good actor but not for DD!

The rest are good though!

An Purpleman, good stuff!

CLASS pick for CARREY! ; )

Exactly LEE. Vin is a good actor, I'm one of the few people who thinks he should do less action and do a little more drama.

Who would you pick as DD? [...and don't say Lewis or Worthington, LMAO jk]...Who could you see in the role?

DD is a complicated character to cast, the actor would have to be very very athletic (to make fight scenes more realistic) and they would have to be a good actor (it's not easy to play a blind man who, lets face it, has better "sight" than any normal man). It isn't easy to cast DD, and dont get me wrong i like Guy, just not as DD. I think it would be a lot better with an unknown. DD is some-what of an enigma, an that would be a lot easier to portray for an unknown actor than an established actor. Also, for an unknown actor there is a lot less expected of them so it would be easier for them to connect with the character, with an established actor they have already built up certain mannerisms that they bring to most characters that they portray , which at times makes that character less realistic.

I'm not saying your pick is bad, i'm just saying that, in my opinion the right guy to play Daredevil hasn't been heard of yet. And i hope that when the time comes, whether it's Fox/Marvel/or Disney, they do the right thing and cast the unknown future award winner without fear.

@ Tony-Thanks but dude Vin IS a bad actor, Babylon A.D, Fast and Furious, The Pacifier- They all suck and they've all got one thing in commmon, Vin Diesel lol and I said in the article that Elektra and supporting cast will be added later, I cant think of anyone for her just now

@ LEEE- I prefer Michael Clarke Duncan aswell as Kingpin but I just couldn't think of anyone else, you gotta admit man DDL does look like Bullseye and its not like he can't pull it off

@-TheFace- I totally agree with you, I think casting an unknown is the way to go myself, it could end up being like what happened with Hugh Jackman and Wolverine, they make the character thier own, its just that in a fan-cast its hard to find unknowns because...well...they're unknown lol

@-Night Avenger- Thanks man ;)

@Hawksblueeyes- Thanks dude

Pretty good cast. Winstone as Kingpin is my choice as well.

For Bullseye, I'd go with James Marsters.

BTW, I agree with Ryden. Diesel is a bad actor. I can't think of 2 movies I've thought he was good in.

Nice. I dont wanna' see Jim Carrey in any movie, but still well done. Daredevil is one of my very favorite characters and I couldnt have cast it better myself.

Rhona Mitra for Elektra

theFACE

Tyler @ i would be happy with Mitra as Elektra, just thought i'd throw someone else's name out there. But Mitra would be awesome.

InTylerWeTrust - 9/6/2009, 2:08 PM
Dushku would be a great fit for Elektra theFACE. Good choice.

i'd willingly let either one of them kick my ass!

Ryden - 9/6/2009, 2:59 PM
@ The Face & Tyler- Good picks for Elektra, I think I might add one of these actresses to the cast or I'll try and find someone myself

@ Longbow hunter-thanks man ;)

LEEE777 - 9/6/2009, 5:47 PM
RYDEN @ DDL is a great actor, but i see him as the RED SKULL dude, though he would make a wicked BULLSEYE, i gotta admit! Who would you want as ELECTRA then??

TYLER @ That's that chic from that horrible UNDERWORLD prequel, she cant [frick]ing act man lol, she's terrible!

Gotta have a better ELECTRA than that!

TONY DARK @ Id pick the DEXTER dude from the tv show as DD!!! (Only choice). Sorry forgot his name lol, an no to LEWIS an WORTHINGTON for DD heh heh. An your right VIN needs some different kinda roles to expand himself!

TheFace @ Nice pics man! ; )

Vin was incredible in Find Me Guilty, Boiler Room, Strays, and turned in a solid comedic performance in Pacifier. This man is no one trick pony, his best stuff is yet to come.

good choice mate.
DDD
DDD - 9/7/2009, 1:35 AM
I think the best guy to play Daredevil would be Tahmoh Penickett from Battlestar Galactica and Doll House.
TAHMOH PENICKETT

And I think I would know! LOL

DDD - 9/7/2009, 1:37 AM
Vin was good in Knockaround Boys!

theFACE - 9/7/2009, 3:04 AM
Ryden @ Lets make the choice for elektra a three way, we've got Dushku and Mitra, lets throw another name in there. Anyone got any suggestions?
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 9/7/2009, 4:56 AM


TONY DARK @ Its MICHAEL C HALL, reckon would make the coolest DD!!!
DDD
DDD - 9/7/2009, 6:29 AM
I throw Olivia Wilde into the mix as Electra!
She's a way better actor than Rhona Mitra.

OLIVIA WILDE 1

OLIVIA WILDE 2

DDD - 9/7/2009, 6:41 AM
I want Michael C. Hall to play The Riddler not DD! Michael seems too villain instead of hero to me.

Tahmoh Penickett, has reddish hair, is 6'2", and built like an acrobat. Plus he's on Dollhouse and would fit right with Eliza in a major motion picture! I want Jon Favreau to direct it and be Foggy again. He was a damm good Foggy!
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 9/7/2009, 7:17 AM
DEPP foR RIDDLER!!! ; D

If its a reboot we cant have FAV for FOGGY!

Man, don't really need FOGGY in another one anyway lol!

Nice PICS man! I like her, got her as the BLACK QUEEN but she'd make a good ELECTRA!!!

HALL FOR DAREDEVIL!!! ; )
Hawksblueyes
Hawksblueyes - 9/7/2009, 7:31 AM
@LEEE--- Foggy is Matts friend man, he's in almost every story line. Why the Froggy hatin ??? lol
theFACE
theFACE - 9/7/2009, 8:11 AM
Another good pick DDD, i know what you mean about MCH, he is quite villainy, he plays the bad guy in Gerard Butler's new film Gamer.

@ LEEE, you've got to have Foggy, Matt Murdock and DD are both quite intense characters, foggy is the clumsy comic relief, As DDD said Fav's was a damn good foggy.

@ DDD, nice pic, although i'm not getting the sense that she could kick anyones ass, but i would be willing to let her try.

@ Ryden, did you have a specific story in mind when you did this fancast or was it just who you thought could play the roles?
Ryden
Ryden - 9/7/2009, 11:43 AM
@ The Face, it was just who i thought could play the roles, I think story-wise I'd like to see an Incredible Hulk style reboot where the origins are left out but it is still essentially a reboot, i throw in a name for Elektra btw

SOFFIA VERGERA


She certainly looks like Elektra, lol we should have a Daredevil reboot fan-cast poll like what happened with Cap that would be cool ;)

Ryden
Ryden - 9/10/2009, 5:59 AM
hmmm, maybe but he looks a little off to me, i think he needs lighter hair aswell
Shaman
Shaman - 9/10/2009, 9:06 AM
Well it's a very decent cast. But looks/acting skill wise, Rhona Mitra is the best choice for Elektra. You don't need a "better" actress than Mitra for Elektra and she's the one that looks the more like the character.

I think James Gandolfini would make an awesome kingpin.
MovieMisfit
MovieMisfit - 9/13/2009, 1:06 PM
@Ryden- No he's not...watch "Boiler Room", "Knockaround Guys", "Pitch Black", "The Chronicles of Riddick", "A Man Apart", or "Find Me Guilty".
"Fast and Furious" kicked ass...he did great in his reprisal of one of the roles that made him famous. As for "The Pacifier", it was an ok family movie...it wasn't meant to appeal to you.
Ryden
Ryden - 9/27/2009, 4:09 AM
@ Tony Dark- He's a terrible actor, I'm not changing my mind man

ok-first I would like to say-hey guys!now-i like the idea of Vin Diesel as Gladiator.
@Tyler-James Marsters as Bullseye?Awesome choice-he did wonderfully as Spike and knocked the role of Braniac out of the park!

And even as a chick I have to go all the way with the choice of Dushku as Elektra-she already has the skills,the attitude,the looks!

Hmmm,DD is a hard one to cast truthfully-he may be right about needing to choose an unknown who can really embrace the role.

No, Matthew Fox should play Matt Murdock/Daredevil as he has the acting chops to play Daredevil to perfection, the skills, the attitude, the looks to play Daredevil, and Matthew Fox is the epitome of a hero, I mean look at him on Lost. Matthew Fox can play Daredevil by making Matt Murdock look more dark and gritty and brooding.

Matthew Fox can be The Christian Bale of Marvel Comics, and Matthew Fox can have Batman's personality but utilize that personality into Daredevil, and make the character his own

Brad Pitt should play Daredevil. He's a good actor and is in great shape and has exsperience with action films. He's probably the only one who can pull it off
