While promoting The Martian with the New York Daily News, Matt Damon discussed the possibility of playing a superhero on the big-screen, as well as his initial interest in the Daredevil movie that his best friend, longtime collaborator, and current Batman, Ben Affleck, took on years ago. "I think he approached it the right way, which is, 'Can I make a great superhero movie?' rather than, 'Do I want to play a superhero?' I'd consider it if the right thing came along," said Damon of Affleck playing the Caped Crusader in the upcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and beyond.

Despite not having any desires to play a superhero, Matt Damon says "For us it was always 'Daredevil' — that's the comic we read when we were kids." He continued, "But when that one came along (in 2003) I chickened out, because I couldn't tell. I hadn't seen the director (Mark Steven Johnson's) work and I didn't know. So I just said, 'No.' Ben was like, 'I gotta do it.' And the movie ended up doing very well, even though I don't think Ben was ultimately very proud of it."

And even though Marvel's Man Without Fear is now gearing up for his second season on the small-screen, or Netflix (played by Charlie Cox), Damon said : "If Chris Nolan came up to me and said, 'I want to do Daredevil,' I would be in." However, given that is unlikely to happen, Matt joked that he would happily helm one of the many upcoming comic book movies because directing is one of his top priorities in the future: "Just putting that out there," he said, laughing. What do you think?
