In October of 2012 the man without fear made his way home, from 20th Century Fox to Marvel Studios. After a bad interpretation of Daredevil in 2003 (mind the directors cut was not nearly as bad, quite enjoyable actually in my opinion). Here is my fan cast for THE MAN WITHOUT FEAR!
Director - David Fincher (The Social Network, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo)
Fincher has the dark tone that this character needs. I know Hollywood is in that "every superhero franchise must be dark and gritty" mode, but Daredevil is a very dark character living in Hell's Kitchen, a setting filled with prostitutes, drugs and the mob. Fincher can pull the tone of this character off perfectly, really diving into and exploring Murdock's past, present and fate with his faith and justice put forth into his trial cases and crime fighting.
Score by Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross
This team of musicians can capture the feel of the character from Matt's intense court battles to Daredevil's midnight escapades. The two did a brilliant job on The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and they could easily pull this off teaming with the usual director.
CAST
Matt Murdock/Daredevil - Michael C. Hall
Being one of my favourite actors, becoming a break out star in the Showtime series Dexter. His sinister voice could be great for voice over dialogue, of Murdock's thoughts during trials in a "Sherlock" esque way. He can pull off the build and looks of the character as well as thought passage.
Karen Page - Julie Benz
Playing Murdock's love intrest would be easy for her, for Benz can easily play a awkward, in love, but also passionate and caring character. Staring in Dexter along side my choice for Matt Murdock, chemistry for the two would be excellent.
Wilson Fisk - James Gandolfini
James Gandolfini, Soprano himself has the talent and fury that Wilson Fisk needs in a Daredevil movie. He would act behind the scenes in this film, but you would still see him quite a bit, managing the Purple Man and the Rose.
The Purple Man - Heath Ledger
Although the ledgend has past away (RIP), he has produced a spawn of the greatest villain of all time, The Joker. I believe he would have had the look and acting ability to play this part (as shown in the manip above).
Elektra Natchios - Lucy Liu
Lucy Liu earns Elektra's name over Gardner any day. She has the asian look and can pull off an action filled role filled with sex appeal and love for Murdock.
Frank Castle/The Punisher - Joe Manganiello
A talented actor who has the body and talent to portray Frank Castle. Although I do love Thomas Janes interpretation, the MCU needs a new face and Joe's fits perfectly.
Foggy Nelson - Sean Astin
I believe that Sean has the talent to portray the nervous character and give Murdock and Foggy's relationship a kick.
The Rose - Ben Affleck
Previously having played Daredevil himself, Affleck has learned much since then, having perfect roles in The Town and Argo. He has the gentle creepy side to him that can portray this gentle terrorist.
Marc Spector/Moon Knight - Matt Bomer
Matt Bomer would be perfect for the secretive white knight, he has the ability to be dark and mysterious. He would act as sort of a Rorshack type character, having a very minor side story in the film, teaming with Daredevil and the Punisher later in the film.
Thank you for taking a look at my fan cast for THE MAN WITHOUT FEAR!
