Matt Damon Would Play This Marvel Superhero If Directed By Christopher Nolan

The Martian star has been suggested for a number of superheroes, especially given his best friend Ben Affleck is now playing DC's Caped Crusader, but Matt Damon has now revealed which comic book movie role he would suit up for and on what condition. Check it out!

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?

Talented actor, but I don't wanna see another expository-heavy, pretentious and boring CBM. And besides, Charlie Cox is already an awesome Daredevil.

He should be Green Lantern. Him and Affleck back again would be BO gold.

Daredevil only got good once Frank Millar took over the comic. And that was before his Batman work.If a dark Daredevil CBM is ever on the cards with Damon there'd be no complaints from me.

I'm always amazed at how oblivious actors are about what is happening in Hollywood.

I wanted him for CAP before Chris Evans got the job.


So did I. I'm happy with Evans though.

Matt Damon should stop talking for awhile. He has said some dumb stuff lately.

Thankfully this isn't happening. As much as Chris is an excellent director he just doesn't know how to do fight scenes. He couldn't even figure out that Batman is an amazing martial artist. So I'd hate to see what he'd do with Daredevil. I'm happy with the Daredevil we got now on Netflix and a big screen version would have to turn down the violence, so no one wants that.

Daredevil on a TV budget had better action that the dark knight franchise...
